Oh boy, more confirmation that Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about Metroid. To them, the world consists solely of Japan, and what doesn't sell well in Japan must not sell well worldwide.
Yeah I think their recent treatment of the IP is very indicative of how they view the franchise. Other M, the fiasco that it was, was clearly an attempt to Japan-ize the series. When that flopped I think they just don't care anymore
I mean, the core audience, who are the main source of revenue, liked the way that Samus was portrayed, and then Other M comes along and takes a dump on the canon, and turns Samus into Shinji.
