I dont want to replay Super Metroid or the Primes.

Yeah, release order is best. I'd go with:

Metroid 1/ZM
Metroid 2/MSR
Super Metroid
Metroid Fusion

This is the main timeline order, which is also the release order if you play the originals (but substituting ZM and MSR in is totally fine, IMO).

After playing Fusion, then you could do Prime Trilogy. They technically take place between Metroid 1 and 2, but they can be completely removed from the main timeline and things still make sense.

1 and 2 can just be skipped if you're playing the remakes.
Especially 1.

Pretty heated debate with Yakuza for example.

Release order is not always the best.

I'll disagree 99% off the time. Can't think of any series I would experience out of order [including Yakuza], but I'll keep the 1% open just in case.

** I'm referring to first time experience. Second playthrough/viewings can be in whichever order, but if it's my introduction to the franchise then I'll start from the beginning

Where does Metroid Prime: Federation Force fit in there?

But this time, skip Metroid 1 and Metroid 2 and replace it with Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid 2 Samus Returns cuz both those games are old as fuck lawl

After Prime 3, before Metroid 2.
