Tough question but it'd need to be at least announced simultanerously with a normal game so it doesn't repeat the mess of Federation Force.
Federation Force isn't wrong. In fact showing other factions' PoV is a blessing for worldbuilding and can be quite fun like Prime Hunters' other hunters. But you can't *just* do that. Everyone wanted a new Metroid and Samus. They were starved and then Federation Force is more of a spit to the face.
If they had something like announced ''Metroid Dread'' and bonus Federation Force. They would see a ton of people playing it if only to seek any hints they could get of a future entry for example.

I'm always weirded out at how poorly handled those old games are. It isn't hard to make proper advertisement and earn the fans' cheering.
