Haha way to reel people in puffy, first thing they think when they see "multi" is platform *chuckles* silly people Metroid is for Nintendo :P

However I was in the top rankings of Metroid Prime Hunters for a while until cheating became overwhelming hopefully they can make something similar for the Wii, I'd enjoy the hell out of it.

I thought the Prime series was finished?  Hence the release of what's  supposedly a 'Trilogy'?  Maybe a multiplayer-only deal?

I HOPE NOT.

Taking the position that metroid should be multiplayer is an anti-metroid position. Metroid is about being a nerd and exploring on your own. Exploring big worlds like castlevania.

Hell, it's where Castlevania stole the idea from.

I hope that this was in some way misinterpreted.

lol @ pic. Silly rabbit.

Anyway, that guy who's in charge of the Metroid-series, who's name eludes me, said a while back that if Retro are up for it he'd like to see a Metroid Prime 4.

It looks like E3 it is, then. Unless Nintendo has some sort of in-between conference (which they probably need to do, since we need some solid data on stuff like Galaxy 2, which sould come between now and then)

Yoshio sakamoto did encourage Retro studios to make Metroid prime 4, I hope they do, the prime series are pure superb.

I personally don't mind the idea of a spin off in the series that is multiplayer only. Basically like Hunters which just uses the Metroid world and abilities in a multiplayer fashion. They don't have to mess with the story or make up any material for the game.
Just my opinion but would love morph ball and other abilities in large multiplayer arenas. I would also love to have online co-op but thats just me :)

rare need the own franchises, basically every other dev team has their own frnachise or several franchises except retro. and monolith soft but thats because their 'new franchise team'

awesome cant wait for Retro's next project, they are xtremly talented dev's
