Metroid Prime Team Discusses Their Decade Of Samus, Ponders Series' Future

2
Nintendo tied up its "Metroid Prime" franchise nicely with their recent "Trilogy" boxed set, and the company currently has its sights set on "Metroid: Other M," a 2D-ish return to classic "Metroid" gameplay. That project left the "Prime" games' developers at Retro behind to partner with Tecmo. Certain word choices by developers in a recent interview, however, seem to to indicate that future "Prime" games may still be possible down the pipe.

"As all I take part in is the 'Prime' series, I am not capable of commenting on the whole 'Metroid' series," Retro Studios producer Kensuke Tanabe told Kotaku. "But we will keep considering multiplayer for the 'Prime' series. For instance, I think I can come up with some unique ideas using the Morph Ball, which is a specific skill of Samus'."

"The veteran Tanabe was the one who hinted at the future of Metroid Prime — a series that seemed to have concluded with the release of 2007's Corruption. Responding to a Kotaku question about whether the Metroid series has the potential for multiplayer popularity equal to GoldenEye's or Halo's, Tanabe said, 'As all I take part in is the Prime series, I am not capable of commenting on the whole Metroid series. But we will keep considering multiplayer for the Prime series. For instance, I think I can come up with some unique ideas using the Morph Ball, which is a specific skill of Samus.'"

Woah. He's not talking about the Prime series in the past tense.

I would absolutely love to see Prime 4, but it would only be right for Retro to do it...and they've earned some time to work on some different games first.

I so want to see a new 2D Metroid game. I so would love to see some thing like Orioto's version of Metroid. 2D games are great and so I was really wishing Retro would talk about the possibility's of a new one.

I so would like another Metroid first person game though. Also the ideas for multi-player could really be fun if added.
