Since MP3 is the last in the trilogy, what do you think they'll do next? What do you want them to do next? Do you think we will see another Metroid game on the Wii?

By the way, there will DEFINITELY be another Metroid game regardless of what some may think.

I'll leave you with a nice quote about the upcoming MP3:

"All indications are that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will be the best of the three games by far."

hopefully end it with dignity.  I'd hate to see spin-off after spin-off like the Mario series is doing

They can give it a new name and story, but I can't see the gameplay change much in future wii games.

Uhh, you guys do realize that the most recent Metroid ended on a cliff-hanger right? Nintendo probably has the ideas for Metroid 5 in development already.

I would bet almost anything that metroid prime 3 will end the storyline. If there's another one, it will start a new storyline, probably a whole different time period as well

Did you read the original topic? This is the last of the Prime Series.

I've always been interested in a super-large 2D adventure ala Super Metroid, but now I'm not so certain. I think maybe the series should wait for a reboot. Retro has stated that they want to work on other games. Let's let this IP simmer. Maybe a multiplayer specific game to keep interest alive. Retro does Kid Icarus anyone?

I'm hoping for a 2D metroid. The 3D games are great, but I really miss the 2D metroids... they were without comparison.

I could see the next one in 3rd person. Since Retro will most likely be done with Metroid working on other things there could be a whole different perspective on the series. In the 3rd person I could see a greater emphasis on platforming (not to say the platforming was bad in the prime series, just limited due to the fact it was in 1st person). Through pure speculation I wouldn't expect to see this until at least nintendo's next console.

OR.... they should make a game based on Samus' real life where she invites people to her house and she shows them all the cool things she's done. She goes grocery shopping and freezes things with her ice beam and she has a daughter who will then continue the Metroid adventures. yup. :P

This is only the last in the Prime series, not the end of the Metroid franchise as we know it. They may as well pick up after Metroid Fusion. Maybe there are still Parasites left? I'd like to see another 2D Metroid game with 3D graphics like New Super Mario Bros.

I think Retro will take a break of Metroid and begin to developped other franchises. There will be some Metroid games on the DS until 3 to 5 years when there will be"the big comeback" on a console.

I'd like a 2D Metroid on the DS, and then they can rest the franchise for a few years. There's way too much Metroid lately.

Personally i'll be glad if they end this franchise. its so easy and redundant. Its not really a challenge to shoot something if there's auto-aim. And why does she always loose her weapons in the beginning, c-mon keep the same weapons and create some new ones, not some re-hash of an existing weapon. Also i hope they fix the amount of back-tracking, metroid prime has easily the most backtracking of any game i played. I don't care for the story either, if most of the story is learned from the annoying scan system than its not really a story. One final remark, create some real A.I. not some easyily recognized pattern of attack, this makes the game even more boring

It'd be cool if Samus got pregnant and gave birth to another girl named Sumas (lol) and you had to play as her lol. But seriously, i hope it'll not be a prequel like prime (turns out timeline wise Fusion is the latest in the series so i wanna see what happens after that...)

Well, here is what happens post-fusion:

Samus retires from the Glactic Federation and becomes a super secret ninja-like sci-fiassassin. On her most recent mission, she must take out the queen bee of all Space Pirates.... Lindsay Lohan. (yes I went there) But later figures out that Lindsay is her daughter, so she has a choice, kill her daughter whose father is a space pirate (don't ask how they met), or save her and train her to be her successor...you decide.

they said that it was going to be the last metroidPrime game not the last metroid so they could just make another series and call it metroid: galactic defenders or something

I'm hoping for more of an online first-person shooter experience, like a game that's just about $35-$40. I'm pretty sure some Metroid fans have been wanting online, and a more action-oriented experience. some people (not me) like all flash and flair, no story.it would probably make a pretty good game.

I really think Metroid is done for quite some time... but it will return with a post-Fusion storyline.

Nintendo will come up with something. Metroid has alot of life left in it.
