Nothing will ever convince me that Nintendo isn't intentionally trying to ruin Metroid for US fans, because the series has traditionally been more popular in the west than in Japan (and Nintendo, like the rest of the Japanese games industry, is traditionally xenophobic and provincialist, which means they don't care about the US market as much and therefore don't want to be bothered with a series that isn't as popular in Japan as Zelda and Mario are) and was also created by Gunpei Yokoi who became persona non grata in Nintendo corporate culture (which would also explain why they stopped using the "Game Boy" title for their handhelds.)

Virtual Boy happened. It was a spectacular failure and he was blamed for it.
