I'm not gonna give up on Metroid... I actually do want another Metroid.

Oh god no. Naughty Dog and Metroid would be poor bedfellows. The last thing Metroid needs is cinematic storytelling and scripted set pieces.

Metroid is already in the best hands. Nintendo just needs to actually make a new game.

Hm, just like how the latest Metroid game, Other M, went so well in Nintendo's hands?

Yes, Other M was great. The first-person aiming was a little awkward and there were some inexplicable plot points, but the rest of the game was excellent. Gorgeous graphics, moody sound design, slick and smooth combat, lots to collect and explore, etc.

But even if you want to discount Other M, you can't discount the Metroid Prime trilogy, Metroid Fusion, or Metroid Zero Mission - all done on Nintendo's watch.
