Not only most of whats come out on the Wii U is 2D or 2.5D but also seems like a waste of the franchise since Metroid seems like the only nintengo franchise that can be adapted and compete with huge games like Mass Effect Assasins Creed and the like.
There's honestly no reason they can't do both. I personally prefer 2D Metroid games over 3D ones, especially since Konami has fu'cked up with Metroidvanias so badly. The genre is pretty much dead except for random Indie developers now.
They could easily do a combo similar to Fusion + Prime if they wanted to. They just don't care about Metroid enough to do it. It was obviously successful to some degree considering they followed it up with MZM + Prime 2 (although those releases were a tad further apart, they wouldn't have made both in the same year if it didn't succeed the first time).
