Latest on Metroid series...
Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto recently told CVG that he'd still like to see a sequel to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption even though all focus has now moved forward to Metroid Other M.
"With regards to the Prime series, 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. But I'm not directly involved with the Prime games. In terms of the Metroid series stories that I've told, the games that I've been involved in, I started with the NES Metroid and took it through Fusion."
He added that he's currently focused on bridging the gap between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, and that any further continuation of the Metroid story would have to wait until he finishes with Other M.
"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."
