                  A NSMB game is something that has a much larger audience and much larger budget to profit margin than a good HD 2D metroid game would need.
                  
                  As much as I love me some metroid, I'm being realistic when I say that it's the 3rd string franchise for Nintendo that only sells in the west and Japan is still a very important territory for the company. Even if you just take US and EU sales into account, you're not going to get the same volume of people that buy NSMB games and keep buying them for months and years after they release.
