I think the majority of fans are thirsty for another 2d entry but sadly I think to expect that from a AAA game at this point is a bit unrealistic.
So with that in mind, IF Nintendo decides to give us another mainline Metroid game, I think something in the vein of the Tomb Raider reboot might be the best bet. My personal preference would be for less shootbang and more exploration/platforming but I can see the format working.
We have already seen what Metroid looks like in first person so if it must be in 3d give it to me in 3rd person.
This is also probably the only genre that Nintendo hasn't attempted yet so I would be curious to see how they do it.
