The world may currently be wrapped up in its excitement for Team Ninja’sMetroid: Other M, but originalMetroidcreatorYoshio Sakamoto has saidhe’d encourageRetro Studios to have another crack at the less traditionalMetroid Primeseries.
“With regards to thePrimeseries, if the team at Retro comes up with an idea that does bring a sequel to the series to fruition, I by all means encourage them to do that,”he states. “But I’m not directly involved with thePrimegames. In terms of theMetroidseries stories that I’ve told, the games that I’ve been involved in, I started with the NESMetroidand took it throughFusion.
“I’m hoping to tie theSuper MetroidandFusionstories together, and until I do that I can’t think about what happens afterFusion, but if the concept does come to me I’d like to continue the story and see how far it can go.One of my goals is to present Samus as an appealing human character, and that involves explaining a little bit about what happened in her past as well as the characters that influenced her. The story will play a big part.”
It’s cool to see so muchMetroidtalk going on. It’s long been one of Nintendo’s more forgotten franchises, despite its strong cult following. Here’s hopingOther Mgives the series a firm shove into the spotlight.
