I have always wondered about what Japanese gamers in general think of Metroid. I know that it's not nearly as popular there as it is here, but there's clearly a small but dedicated audience. That does make sense. After all, Exploration style Castlevania games are VERY popular over there (such as Symphony of the Night, or "Nocturne in the Moonlight" over there), and they're basically the same genre of game. It'd be very strange to find they thought of them as "totally different" over there.
The neat thing is, the small Japanese fanbase of Metroid also didn't like Other M, and for a lot of the same reasons.

"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)
