True.  When it comes to pushing boundries, it seems Monolith Soft and the Zelda team are the two big ones at Nintendo (though the Mario Kart 8 team isn't sitting on its hands and the Mario team still has some muscle).  I do hope Retro's new project is something ambitious.  I would love a new Metroid Prime trilogy, one that takes an appropriate story telling approach with regards to Samus.  There's a ton of story potential post Fusion and I would love to see that explored.  A good story follow up to Fusion (which I quite liked for its narrative) and with good exploration and atmosphere like the Prime games (especially Prime 1) would be my ideal console Metroid game. 

And if not that, a new IP would be very good. 

Yeah, I would really like to see Retro take on a new IP, a HD Metroid, or some other project that has them pushing the graphical envelope again. The Prime games were some of the best looking on their respective hardware, at 60fps to boot.

Yeah. Also, if they do a new Metroid Prime, they need to get whoever did the creature designs for Xenoblade Chronicles X on board.  Really think a lot of the insectoid ones especially would fit right in with Metroid.
