Metroid Prime Series Isn't Over, DS Version Teased As Real Possibility

Nintendo and Team Ninja's Metroid: The Other M is expected to be our next adventure with Samus Aran, but does this indicate a brand-new direction for the franchise? Retro Studios is responsible for bringing Metroid into the third dimension with the Metroid Prime series, but it seemed Metroid Prime was done after after Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, with both Retro and Samus moving on.

...or not.

"We are always planning to make new games in the Metroid Prime series," said Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe to the Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK. "Depending on the timing and the situation, we cannot deny the possibility of realising it on DS or DSi."

After Metroid Prime: Hunters, though, I'm not so sure I'd like to see it appear on DS.

    I think Metroid has always been a better gaming experience in 2D and loved Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion, Hunters was ok but lets get retro nostalgic here! Or what about Metroid Pinball 2!?!

    call me lazy, but I HATED Metroid on Wii. Who wants to wave their arm for hours at a time, when earlier you could relax with a controller in your lap. Thats progress ?!?!?

    As long as Retro Studios makes it, I'm happy. Nintendo, stick with the 2D.

    With thw WII having so many crappy games coming out, you dont really think they will kill the best series on it do you. Kinda sounds like Halo on M$ huh?

    So long as they add challenge to the shooting aspect of the game, seeing as it's a major part of gameplay, I'm all for it.

    Metroid is always a great game but they need to adjust some things. Keep the FPS style on Wii, that was actually a good game because I don't like FPS's with a controller and the Wiimote was a big plus. If they want to make portable versions, develop those in the 2D style like Fusion. The 3D Hunters wasn't so easy to use.

    I'm kind of sick hearing about Zelda, Mario, and Metroid. Listen, they are all great games and I am excited for new instalments in each franchise (Galaxy 2 can't come fast enough) but I feel like Nintendo has forgotten that they have a lot of other IP's they could be making games with. There hasn't been a good, main-console release of Donkey Kong, Kirby, or F-Zero in years. And don't tell me that when the Wii first came out, you didn't have dreams of motion-controlling Star Fox's Arwing.

    Oh what a tangled web we weave. Metroid Prime/franchise should stay on the Wii. There's other franchises I feel that are better suited for the DS Lite/DSi.
