Isn't the question: wil they made a another Metroid?

The last two installments pretty much flopped. If Metroid is returning, it's likely to be a reboot in some sorts.

How exactly?

Other M and Prime 3 sold about the same as the other Metroids. 

Sales have been going down with the last installments.

1 Metroid Prime GC 2002 Shooter Nintendo 1.96 0.67 0.10 0.09 2.82
3 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes GC 2004 Shooter Nintendo 0.87 0.35 0.07 0.04 1.33
2 Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Wii 2007 Shooter Nintendo 0.87 0.71 0.07 0.10 1.76
1 Metroid: Other M Wii 2010 Action Nintendo 0.82 0.20 0.13 0.09 1.24

That's why other M was so different. NIntendo was already doing a partial reboot with the last installment, and it only sold most of that 1.24 number on half (or even lower) price.

Also remember that the increase of development funds needs higher sales just to make the same amount of profit.
