But I think that series has run its course.

I agree. Prime 3 tied it up neatly and tapped out the approach's potential.


did you see the secret ending in prime 3?

besides i want a new metroid in the same vein as prime

On youtube, yes... XD

After three games, the Prime formula doesn't really have anywhere left to go in my mind; Prime 3's pointer controls and hyper mode stopped it from feeling stale, but the whole "scan everything you see, circle strafe around enemies while spamming A, backtrack to use different weapons to open different doors" thing feels like its been squeezed dry.


This is Nintendo we're talking about. As long as a property makes money, they'll find a way to continue.

Besides, I can easily think of how the series might evolve... *looks at GamePad*

But with the Gamepad, we'd be back to analogue aiming, which would be a big step down from Prime 3. Playing Prime 2.5 with HD and ZombiU-style Gamepad scanning doesn't sound all that exciting to me.
