I don't want Retro to make the next Metroid game.

When I say creepy I mean unnerving, eerie, atmospheric, unsettling, etc.

You don't get that feeling by just playing the game, you also need to read the scan logs. And Metroid Prime 2 had some very unsettling scan logs. I loved playing that game with all the lights of during the middle of the night. It felt creepy to me, especially when I was in the dark world. 

Besides, I think Prime 2 is very different compared to Prime 1 and Prime 3 is nothing like Prime 1 & 2. I personally hope they return to the style of Prime 1 & 2 and not Prime 3. Prime 3 felt a bit like "Halo". I want to be stranded on an alien planet again.

And Retro Studios is not the same company anymore that made the Prime games. Almost all of the staff left. A new Prime game by them may take the series in a new direction again.

As for 2D Metroid, save that for the 3DS and I hope they use a sprite based artstyle for it... Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion look better than the majority of the 3DS games... 

Imagine a Metroid game that looks like this: 

Dude, I've played Prime. I know about the scan logs. Even with them, they don't have the same atmoshpere as Super. It's not a constest. I'm not saying those games didn't have creepy moments. I'm saying they didn't have the same type of atmospere as Super. When they were creepy, it was for a difference reason and in a completely different way. I don't think Retro would. I think they would make a game that tries to be Prime, because that's what is expected of them. Even if it isn't called Prime 4, it would be Prime 4. I don't want Prime 4. I want a completely different game. Maybe in ten year when there's been three of that, I'll have the pallet for another Retro Metroid again.

And I'm not talking about 2D Metroid at all with this. I want 2D to be on the 3DS as well.

This section of Metroid Prime 3 filled me with more dread and suspense than anything in Super Metroid.  I believe there was a similar section in Prime as well.
