Metroid Prime 4 won't be developed by Retro Studios and i'm okay with that.

I'm intrigued at the idea of the team developing two games at once. Maybe one is the "safe" project, like Donkey Kong, that's a well-established franchise with a fanbase. The other could be a complete roll of the dice--like reviving Raven Blade, or a dormant property like StarTropics, or a completely new IP. That way they'd cover both bases of giving something reliable to fans and offering something totally fresh.

Unfortunately this is all total speculation because whatever Retro is/was doing, Nintendo has kept it close to the chest.

I've been wanting the bolded for a while now.
