My point was about Metroid. If Retro attempts to do a new Metroid game, I don't expect it to be quite like the Prime series.

But do we really want a new Prime game? And is it what Nintendo needs? I think they should try to bring it a little bit more into the "mainstream" of gaming. Not dumb it down, but make it more approachable. I'd like to see the next Metroid go in a different direction than the Prime series. And I'd also like for Retro to work on something else. Preferbly Star Fox or a new IP.

Ideally, a new Metroid game, be it developed by Retro or someone else, would take the series into bold new territory akin to what Prime did over a decade ago. For this. there's a ton of possibilities, and all of which threaten to damage the brand and spoil the formula if not handled carefully.
