Metroid Prime on the other hand sucked balls. You're welcome to enjoy them by all means, but I'd love to see Metroid just stick to Download based games and just make some cool ass big old 2D game like it USED to do best.
I haven't played Other M but what I played of Metroid Prime Hunters was pretty disappointing. I wasn't horrible, it was something new and I always like that, but it didn't really hook me enough to go much beyond the first boss. It might just be the fact that 1st person shooters on the DS aren't exactly the most comfortable thing ever, but I think that Metroid games are generally better in their classic 2D platforming style. I've only ever played two, Return of Samus and Zero Mission, but for me that's what Metroid should be. I never actually finished either of them, I should probably try and do that sometime since I have fond memories of both of them.
Anyway yeah, I agree with Dazz that a new sidescrolling Metroid game would be nice to see.
