We may still be recovering from the majesty of Metroid Prime Trilogy, but a recent interview with the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine has unearthed an even more exciting titbit: there may be more Metroid Prime games on the way.
Speaking to the magazine, Kensuke Tanabe of Nintendo said:
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.
Of course, even if such a handheld adventure for Samus doesn't come to fruition we still have Metroid: Other M to look forward to next year, so fans of the bounty hunter won't be out of her shiny metal arms for too long.

Good!
I want a new side-scrolling Metroid for DS. Fusion and Zero Mission on the GBA were amazing.
Prime = 3D, that's how i always understood the series.
Hopefully this comes true because I'm close to finishing MP2 and I've already played MP & MP: Hunters. I don't want the series to end just when I'm getting to the good stuff!
I think I need to sit down.
Metroid Prime on the DS? I need to take a cold shower.
Meh, I'm with Rensch. Gimme a new sidescrolling Metroid. Didn't like Metroid Prime: Hunters at all on the DS.
Metroid Prime: Hunters was only good because of the multiplayer, which was ruined by cheaters..
I loved Metroid Hunters, but got tired of breaking my own hands whilst playing. Give us a full on Hunters for the Wii. Pure Deathmatch with dozens of arena's, characters and weapons. It could totally pwn. Please Retro, do it! It would be huuuuge!!!
I actually liked Metroid Prime: Hunters. This may be a sequel to Hunters or it could be the rumored DS side-scroller Metroid Dread
Wouldn't mind either of them....
Wouldn't mind a sequel to prime hunters more though... cough cough
Yes, this is good news. I'm still holding out hope for a new console 2D game on WiiWare or something, but I'm just glad Samus is getting this much love.
...Metroid Dread? I hope so...
I've played Hunters, and I want to get it. But I like me some Metroid Prime, even though I don't own a single game, and the only Metroid game is the origional on my GBA and the demo of Super Metroid on SSBB.
still think he misspoke... but what do i know?
Metroid Hunters was alright and more of that would be decent, but I'd be very happy to see Metroid Dread or the like instead.
Hey, I called this first. I demand credit. sulks in corner
Nah, just kidding. I'd definitely love to see a new Metroid by Retro, Prime or otherwise. They truly mastered the series and really made it their own. I love the sinister and occasionally tongue-in-cheek politics of the Space Pirates.
I predict Metroid Prime Pinball 2!... Oh right Nintendo screwed us by removing the GBA cartridge slot so no more rumble pak
I realy liked Metroid Prime : Hunters. Spend the time mostly with all kinds of bot matches.
Sweet! Maybe they can add some cheat-proof multiplayer.
Im a huge fan of metroid, i hope they make a metroid on the Ds with a sort of feel of metroid prime 1 rhat would be awsome. i think sticking to one world has been the best!
Metroid Prime Hunters 2? It must be that game. I mean, Theres the 100% ending to MP3 that has some people wondering, so we need to see what will happen next
SIDE SCROLLING METORID
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
My god, it's been forever since we got one of those!
Actually Hunters WAS a Metroid Prime series game wasn't it! It was very good, but I wouldn't say mind blowing. It was hardcore though eh.
shall i say ds to wii port like that final fantasy game anyone?
For all we know, it might be just another pinball game. Nonetheless, I'm excited for any Metroid game.
Prime is good, but I'm tired of the FPS. Gimme a side scrolling prequel with Samus jumping around in broken armor showing some skin!
Prime pinball was fun. Glad they've used the Rumble pack functionalty in so many games since........... /crickets
a Metroid Side scroller/ platformer for me at least is a better offer then a First Person Adventure game.
Sounds like he's just covering his bases, not so much hinting at what's in store.
Also it comes from ONM which have been known to blow things up and mis-translate.
I want more then just the basic metroids again. A beautiful remake of Metroid II would be excellent. Zero Mission was amazing, so why not?
You guys realize you wrote "*tit*bit", right?
I would like it to be a side-scrolling one. They seem to last longer than 3D, and its time for some innovation for them. An online versus mode in the 2D would be brilliant. But yeah, i can't wait fo 'Other M'
I would really like to see another Metroid Prime game on the DS. Especially if it follows the formula MP1 set. MPH was good, but didn't exactly feel like a Metroid game.
as a metroid fanBOY (not just a fan) i say we need a new side-scrolling one, if not for the fact it would work perfectly for the wii!
I wouldn't mind a side-scroller for the DS provided I get the controls I want (B for jump, Y for attack, etc) at least through controller options. I'm still curious about Dread too.
