That new Metroid Prime has me really wondering if it will be good or not. A giant open world Metroid would be awesome, but could they do it? Would they do it? The guy in charge of it seems to be more worried about story stuff than actual Metroid gameplay.
I dont think Metroid can be open world as a core gameplay mechanic is gating off progression behind upgrades, which is the antithesis to an open world ( at least how Nintendo likes to make them). They would have to revamp the formula significantly and at that point I am not sure it would feel like Metroid anymore.
Metroid.

Very true. It's BotW style if you can find and kill Mother Brain from the beginning. The upgrades and stuff would need to add to everything.
True story, metroidvania should be called Zeldavania because the director of Symphony of the Night based it on Zelda.
