So, Retro wanted to make System Shock 3?

Sounds interesting, but some of the proposals don't really sit well with me.  For example:

"The main goal for Samus is to disable the engines of the ship, destroy the AI, and eradicate all life forms on the ship. The catch is that even though Samus is all powerful from her previous item acquisition on Talon IV, she will be limited to use them in certain areas of the ship due to the containment matrix that the Rogue AI has set up all over the ship."

Other parts sound pretty cool, though.  It's certainly a very ambitious pitch.  I hope Nintendo expands on this proposal, although it doesn't necessarily have to be in the Metroid setting.

Yeah, definitely sounds nice but I think I would prefer seeing it as an original IP over a Metroid title.

I would have agreed before Other M, but now I think this would be the story driven game the series should have gotten.
