yeah, I agree with wgrace, if it could be a great metroid game, it could be the great beginning of a new franchise. there's no reason you can't come up with a good original setting, and weapons, and such, and come up with a great story. it's not like the market is saturated with metroid quality games. if you don't write good stories, team up with someone who does. I'm sure there are plenty of artists, writers, and such who would work with you with what you bring to the table
