I mean it was very unoriginal and visually it wasn't anything special.

It was fun for what it was but probably didn't warrant a $60 price tag. If you've played one 2D Metroid, you've about played them all. There's gonna be an ice area, a lava area, and it all explodes for no reason after you beat the final boss.

You could use this logic ("there's gonna be an X, Y, and Z") on almost every franchise in history

Not really. Very few other franchises recycle the exact same formula from game to game as metroid. Samus loses powers due to plot contrivance. Samus regains powers one by one while being hindered by random environmental hazards. Entire planet blows up for no reason. The fun is in the gameplay. There's not much offered in terms of narrative or originality.

Would have been a solid 3ds game for like 39.99. Now that Nintendo ditched their dedicated handheld system they can sell games that would have gone on the 3ds on the switch for full price. The links awakening remake is a prime example of a game that should not have been sold for 60 dollars.

Actually, I think it's harder to come up with a list of franchises that are totally disconnected in their approach to the game for every single title.

In terms of 'formulaic' series
-Mario
-Zelda
-Resident Evil
-SMT
-Kirby
-Star Fox
-Pokemon
And the list easily goes on

honestly, that's how i feel too. 3DS games were visually impressive for the hardware, and reasonably priced. i just skip most nintendo games these days

Don't see how it's disappointing.

It's a solid game.

"But you can clear it in an hour!"

First time playing a Metroid game? They're all like that, assuming you know exactly what you're doing.

At this point what franchise isn't "formulaic"

this is coming from gamefaqs users who play the same dating sim JRPG every year

Underwhelming and overpriced, but not a bad game by any means. I don't think it will maintain much long-term appeal when people start looking back at the overall franchise in retrospect.

The biggest letdown is that the plot just doesn't address anything. It's almost self-contained, aside from call backs to Fusion.

It's a great game. Boss fights are amazing.
And I hate Mercury Steam.
