Exactly, just replace "Sunshine" with "FF" and "Mario" with Metroid.

Not exactly, because Sunshine's problem is that it can't decide whether it wants to be a follow-up to SM64 or something new, and fails at both.

And correct me if I'm wrong but does Sticker Star not repeat
-Bowser having a flying castle like in Paper Mario 1
-Bosses who are larger/sparkly versions of normal enemies
-Standard grass/desert/beach/jungle/ice/fire Mario worlds for settings in lieu of even Super Paper Mario having locales and objectives as interesting as having to babysit for the queen of hell to earn Mario's life back

Nothing to really be upset about... good games come out all the time, more good games than anyone could ever play exist and are readily available... and often for less than new console games sell for...

I'm saying I have a huge backlog on Steam alone. If very little Nintendo is making looks appealing, that's nothing to throw a fit about. You can disapprove and explain why, but you're not a victim. Just play something else.

Was Paper Mario ever known to repeat itself?

The paper-type powers in PM2 were caused by curses. Which doesn't explain away the occasional sight gags, like the times Mario drifts down from heights safely in the first game, but it all checks out and the world is believable enough. If the fourth wall breaks in the script don't confirm that it's a game even in the game's own context, a few visual jokes playing off of the visual style looking like arts and crafts do not confirm that the world actually is made of arts and crafts.

It's like when a cartoon character watches TV. What would a cartoon look like to them? Everything in their world looks fake to us, what looks fake to them? When photorealistic imagery appears in a cartoon, what IS that, what is something more realistic than your reality supposed to be?

You don't really get the privilege of thinking like that... when your job depends on people liking what you've made enough, against all context, to want to buy it

Well, nah, I remember being ****ed during the GameCube era when Parties and sports spin-offs came out year after year and the only proper Mario titles were... well, not even Sunshine, I maintain Sunshine would've been much much better as its own new IP without Mario. So pretty much just Paper Mario 2 and Mario & Luigi. Metroid is in a similar position now, but more so. A history of long long dry spells, the last game was about an abusive relationship, and now this. And how do Metroid fans respond to it? If they buy it to show support for the franchise, would that be interpreted as support for this game in particular? If they don't buy it to show disapproval, Nintendo will probably conclude "welp, people just don't like Metroid anymore."

I've still only finished Metroid Prime 1, so I don't really care as much, but yeah, I understand why Metroid people are mad and think it's warranted (especially since I think the game itself looks boring and lifeless). What did they think was gonna happen?
