That's a video interview:
Interview with Mark Pacini, Director of metroid Prime 3 Corruption
First, he speaks about Metroid Prime 3: the development, the console, what's new with the controller, ecc. But the interesting thing it's at the end:
Discuss ! What could be their next game ?

Mark pacini said:We are taking a break from Metroid Series and from Samus. So, I think there will be sure other titles created. But as far as Retro Studos is concerned, we'll take a break for a little bit.
Discuss ! What could be their next game ?

Michael Kelbaugh Interview:

The one from GS is especially good. Kelbaugh (President and CEO) has some great things to say about Retro's design philosophy:
Micheal Kelbaugh said:We are a Nintendo studio. When I think of who made Metroid Prime 3 I think of the Metroid Prime team. I don't really think of Retro as an individual entity, of our friends at Nintendo as an individual entity, I think of the Metroid Prime team. Some of that team happens to be in Japan, some of it happens to be in Redmond Washington, and we all get together a lot to make great games."
"Retro is Nintendo and we are constantly held to that same bar that EAD is held to."
"I really want to stress it's a team effort. It's not Retro's ideas and NCL's ideas, it's really how do we make the best game, how do we utilise everybody's skills to the best."
"We don't consider ourselves a Western developer. We consider ourselves a Nintendo developer, we just happen to be in Texas."
All of this makes sense, you can really feel that synergy when you play the Prime games. Retro Studios really is an incredible developer, they're one of the best.
