Nintendo: Interest in Metroid is at an all time high thanks to this extremely well received trilogy that represents the best translation of a beloved 2d franchise into 3d since Super Mario 64, what can we do to completely ruin all of that goodwill and critical acclaim?

Team Ninja: Hold my beer

Team Ninja is on record that they were shut down when they tried to make better gameplay decisions

Can I ask for some sources/links? I know they basically washed their hands of the story, but I've never heard any statement giving examples of things they weren't allowed to do, certainly nothing like Retro's mentioning that they weren't allowed to actually have Samus as a bounty hunter in any meaningful way because Nintendo didn't seem to understand what the phrase means in the West.

The most blatant example is that the sidewas NES-style control scheme was a demand from Sakamoto.
