Why didn't we have a "Metroid 64" with a graphics engine like this?

in the mid-late 90s, and early-mid 2000s, 2d games were seen as being "for babies".

I don't think it was that 2D games were seen as for babies, just "primitive" or outdated with the 3D revolution.
The kiddy image/games for babies didn't really hit until the GameCube era, but it was still ok to be kind of cutesy (within reason) in the N64 era.

Probably because that game is really bad and not innovative?

The shift to 3D was probably a really exciting and interesting time to be a developer. One which does not strictly have a comparable equal in any other era. When I see people here bitch about 3D games, I just don't get where this talking for developers comes from. Why do you guys assume that the developers at Nintendo didn't want to make a 3D Metroid game? Making a 3D game at that period of time would've unquestionably shown a developer's wit and prowess to the world. Additionally, why is there an assumption that anybody wanted to make a 2D Metroid for Nintendo 64? What is that based on? If you're using this game as a smoking gun, it's probably not a great idea. Audiences and critics preferred Mario 64, OoT and Goldeneye a lot more, and for a good reason.

i figured we wouldve seen a metroid game more in the vein of doom 64

One fact that people don't realize or just ignore is that Metroid is a niche game and has never sold exceptionally well. Some Nintendo defenders argue that franchises like Metroid, Starfox and F-Zero receive games at long intervals because apparently Nintendo has some moral code that prevents it from making games without some major innovation but the truth is that they just don't sell well.

If Metrois NES had sold 40 million copies, Samus would definitely be the company's mascot haha
