My guess is that Retro's next project is either another Donkey Kong, another Metroid game, or a new IP.

 

Yeah. And I guess that tomorrow it will either rain, be sunny or neither. Profound guessing skills.

I think Nintendo will give Metroid back to Retro after the less than stellar Other:M.

Personally I think Other: M desevered to bomb for its stupid name alone. Other M? Seriously? It needs more explosiveness, like Metroid: Inception. Anything else would be better.

It's name makes perfect sense for the game.  The story focus's on samus' mother-daughter connection with the baby metroid and the whole series actually revolves around mother daughter relationships.  Mother-brain the pirates made to control the metroid.  Queen metroid which naturally controls the metroid.  In Other M Madeline and Melissa Bergman are introduced another mother-daughter relationship.  Samus's character never had a mother because her whole family was killed by Ridley and so she becomes attached to Adam as a sole parental figure, but he is of course male.  the name Other M was chosen because of it's obvious acronym MoM, or Mom.  The names not stupid, but someone who can't figure out what the game they just spent 10-12 hours playing is about possibly is.

Of course there's a reason to call it Other M, they didn't just pluck it from thin air. It makes a lot of sense too. But bottom line, it's still a very dull word for a game title. Mayaswell have called it 'Different M' or 'Relative M'. It has absolutely NO zing to it, no wow factor. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Halo: Reach, Burnout: Revenge, these are good subtitles. 'Other' never will be.
