The more I play these games the more I think this might actually be Nintendo’s best franchise. At least in terms of consistency

It has been remarkably consistent, with only one real 'dud' game in the main series (Other: M). Nintendo just gets weird with it and puts it on long breaks for some reason. There was 8 years between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime / Fusion, then we got like 5 Metroid game in 5 years there, then Other: M killed the franchise for a good seven years until the Metroid 2 remake on 3DS.
Now it seems like they've brought it back as a main series again, with Dread in 2021, Prime Remastered now, and Prime 4 somewhere on the soon-ish horizon (I'm hoping we see it sometime in 2024). There's also rumours MecurySteam is already working on the next 2D Metroid.
