Samus Returns was decent, with a few notable improvements to the core design and some new puzzle elements, but generally they don't outweigh the finely crafted AM2R. I honestly think Nintendo's current strategy of farming out Metroid games to outside developers is a good idea. I want to be proven wrong, and have Namco craft some amazing experience here, but unfortunately Nintendo in spite of their princess tropes seems to somehow have managed to be the MOST progressive Japanese company when it comes to women. That's a sad state of affairs.
Just as a reminder:

This is what Namco thinks a strong woman is.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
