This reason is what's wrong with fans. I think he said he's no longer doing Metroid. Why still hate the guy?

I can't believe Metroid is fucking dead.
Who am I kidding I can totally believe that. ;-;

Are you quite sure? Did you implied that fake controller was real? I didn't really follow the thread that close enough to see it out.

Interesting. Lack of Metroid Prime is disappointing, but Retro hasn't made a bad game yet, so I'm definitely interested in this.

seriously....? Are you just trying to be funny or you really can't see past the exact wording being used to the overall meaning and point?
I don't dislike Sakamoto, he makes great games. I just think that what he wrote for Other M was bad. And what was it, he doesn't even count the Prime games as canon for some reason or another.

Good move if true. A few new IPs is just what Nintendo need to freshen up their output. A new IP will get more press attention, especiAlly if it makes good use of the new hardware.

I don't hate him. I dislike a lot of Metroid Other M and would prefer he not work on another one.

I actually want a new DKC!
Both of the newest ones are solid as hell!

Well we already saw the Zelda IP given to Koei Tecmo for hyrule warriors. At most, I can see it happening again for Metroid but it'll be a "spinoff" like HW rather than a continuation.

I think it is going to be a shooter. I wonder if Nintendo would ever let one of their western companies develop a "M"rated game to attract "core" gamer.

It's not so much as he doesn't see them as canon as much as he considers it a side story.
I believe that's how Nintendo has always viewed the Metroid franchise, as two different series basically: The (mostly) 2D Mainline games from R&D1 and/or Sakamoto and the 3D "spinoff" Prime games from Retro Studios (or Nintendo Software Technology, and I guess Next Level Games).
It's kind of a factor into why in Smash Bros, Sakurai always bases Samus's powersuit design on Super Metroid/Zero Mission/Other M instead of the Prime games.
I don't think he ever said that. Pretty sure it was that the Prime games are canon, but spin-offs, which they are.
EDIT: Beaten
I doubt that will happen. He doesn't seem to be interested in metroid since a long time, he's a big shot at Nintendo and needs to supervise lots of stuff and his other projects sells much better. I think after other m divisive reception, he Will never return again for it... Bug who knows.

True, but this rumor contradicts that
I said they could, not that they would. Hell, I'll be the first person to tell you that they'll never make another Metroid despite the fact that they easily could just because Nintendo took the wrong lesson from Other M's failure.

I could see Nintendo trying to feel in some of the gaps in their line up. That being said a 3d adventure game from them is long over do. With Zelda having its own tropes to adhere to this is an area that has yet to be explored fully by Nintendo. I'd also be interested in seeing another FPS from them.
Nintendo has nothing to lose, but the developer has everything to lose. Nintendo consoles are on extremely shaky ground after the sales failure that was the Wii U
He's responsible for the sheer perfectness that is Super Metroid, the amazing Zero Mission and the good Fusion. On the other hand, he has Other M under his name. I'd say he breaks even.
I wouldn't mind a new game from him, I still believe he hasn't lost it. But if he does make a new Metroid game and it surpasses Other M in awfulness, he shouldn't come close to the series.
I see, guess I got bad info about that then. But hey, at least we got Dark Samus and Light Suit Samus in Smash.

I figured that they were not developing Metroid Prime due to the series low sales. I can see theme doing a Western-RPG since Nintendo does not have one of those games.
She said new IP!
And don't pull that semantics card, like how Link's Crossbow Training is technically a new IP!

Sounds good to me. I don't need another Metroid Prime or Donkey Kong Country.
Holy shit this is terrible news for a Prime fan like me.
Two days ago: "Fed Force was delayed to ride the boost of the reveal of Retro's new Metroid for NX at E3!"
Yesterday: "Well, I guess we're going to have to wait for that new Metroid reveal. But surely it's coming!"
Today: "Metroid is dead. It's fucking dead."
Excited for a new IP, though. Glad it's not a new DKC. Tropical Freeze could not realistically be topped, after all.

I know you're joking, but the Zelda team is almost assuredly being assisted in full by Monolith Soft at this point.
I'm expecting disappointment. No matter what they announce and show there will be people who hate it.
Would be cool to get a new IP from Retro.
I'd still like a new Metroid though. Would be just as happy with a new 2D Metroid as a new Metroid Prime, as long as it had a proper budget and a good team behind it.
They're probably not big enough to have two projects in the go at once, are they?
Edit: Would Waluigi's Sneak 'n' Love count as a new IP?

Of course that game could be topped, Tropical Freeze is one of those rare games that's overrated but still really really good.
Sadly, this happens with almost every Nintendo game.

I'm so excited for Retro. This is all I could have hoped for them - to have free reign and get creative.
