I don't really care where it came from originally, the previous poster was talking solely about SotN and Metroid, they're correct in that the combat of the games tends to favour the more Action-Melee focused style of SotN however the upgrade system is more in-line with Metroid than SotN in most cases since instead of using a numbers game approach of stats and resistances most abilities are more so for a navigational function.
Can you come up with new names for these "genres" that are not completely retarded?

When did literally anyone imply they were or weren't? What do you think separates the two other than just being 2D or 3D? Trying to say 2D or 3D is a factor in genre is short sighted considering the millions of games and genres that already show otherwise.

Obviously not since I noticed you pulled two games out of your ass for some as of yet undisclosed reason, and you still haven't thought about the question.
