During an E3 interview, Michael Kelbaugh had a few PR statements on Retro's thoughts on Metroid. Here are the quotes:

Well, we love Metroid. We love Metroid Prime and we always will. It was a big part of our studio, the culture of the studio. The majority of that team is still at Retro," Kelbaugh said.

We might do another one someday. But we really enjoyed working with DK as well.

He later went on to say:
