People who say that Nintendo doesn't pay attention to storylines or timelines haven't payed attention to Metroid in the past 10 years...or pretty much at all. It's a silly assertion. Equating Metroid to Zelda is asinine. Most o the games take place within a relatively close amount of time to each other (compared to Zelda); the entire Prime series takes place between Metroid 1 and 2.
That said, I don't see how the series was "written into a corner." Sakamoto said that he had Metroid (5) Dread on the mind. The successor to Fusion. He's been contemplating what happens next for awhile.
