Do we need a Metroid Prime franchise page?

I sent in a submission for this recently, but it was rejected. However, I wasn't satisfied with the reason for rejection. I still think there should be a Metroid Prime franchise page along with the main Metroid franchise. It is a sub-series of the main franchise, just like Donkey Kong Country is to Donkey Kong.

Why should Metroid Prime have its own franchise page?

• The entire series takes place between Metroid 1 and 2.
  
• Most of the games are handled by Retro Studios.
• They're also the only FPS Metroid games currently. This point could be taken away easily once we find out whatever the next Metroid game is, but still.
  

Well I would say since we have a Street Fighter Alpha franchise page, Metroid Prime deserves one too.

Yeah, Metroid Prime totally needs a franchise page. It's a totally separate sub-series from Metroid.

Sure go ahead.

No! Meh, just kidding. :)

I don't think so.

Perhaps DKC is a special case because the gameplay is very different and the protagonists are also different. With Prime, you've got the classic Metroid gameplay (in first person and 3D) and the same main characters. Not to mention that the DKC games don't take place in the same timeline as DK and DK jr.

Ok...I didn't know that xD
