In a recent upcoming interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, the UK's equivalent to Nintendo Power, Metroid Prime Coproducer Kensuke Tanabe states in an interview:

We are always planning to make new games in the Metroid Prime series. Depending on the timing and the situation, we cannot deny the possibility of realising it on DS or DSi.

This comes with Metroid: Other M scheduled for sometime in the near future. The greatest likelihood would be a Metroid Prime 3 sequel so we can finally see whose ship that was in the bonus ending. However, I don't think it's going to be Metroid Dread (which Yoshio Sakamoto stated was something he had been toying with) and I don't think it's in development, or going to be 'realised' any time soon, given the 'possibility' of the game getting worked on. It's really just a reaffirmation that Nintendo isn't going to drop first person Metroid just because Retro Studios is finished with it. However, if the chances are that it is Metroid Prime Hunters 2 (which seems the best bet), I'll likely be forced to sit that one out... Let's hope they at least do something interesting with the twin cameras.

The 50th issue of Official Nintendo Magazine is scheduled for release this Friday, Nov 20. Maybe one of our UK fans can provide us some scans!

Until next time...
