Fun Fact: With 4.5 million sales, Splatoon has outsold the best selling Metroid entry while being released on the lowest selling Nintendo console. In Japan, it has outsold every Metroid game/port/budget release combined in the region. Splatoon is also about 500K units behind Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in LTD sales.

See Retro? Can't argue with the facts: the real fans want more Donkey Kong

Retro seemed pretty burned out on prime since 3 was more like a metroid-themed fps so I dunno where they'd go with that

There were 2 very good Donkey Kong games on the Wii U and exactly 0 Metroid games.

Time to put the DK back in the Disney Vault for a bit

Needs me some new skool Metroid 2.5D or a new Retro designed Prime entry

It'll never happen, because they're a Microsoft signed dev, but I would kill for a Moon Studios designed Metroid game.

Ori and the Blind Forest is like a love letter to Metroidvania's.

I love Tropical Freeze but I wouldn't want another DK at the moment. Another Metroid Prime is also not too thrilling. I trust Retro with whatever they want to do next.

I want the new Mario to have Donkey Kong as the opponents. I also want it to work both ways, a la WC2 so that you can play DK and work back to overcome Mario.

With Good Feel at the helm it'd probably be legitimately good, so yeah. Bring on Metroid: Yarn Mission.

I hope the switch isn't region locked so I don't need to bother hacking it like my 3DS to get out of region games working.

Whether it is or isn't I don't think Nintendo would say word one about it. We wouldn't find out til someone tries to put in a Japanese card.

Well, technically we had a great one last year but we shouldn't have to rely on fans to do Nintendo's job.

Bizarrely, each Prime game is worse than the previous one.

The main problem with Corruption was the dialogue and story elements (there's even one bit where other solders help you fight by placing C4 charges or something). You don't have to be a massive purist to realise that these are completely unnecessary in a Metroid game and detract from the experience.
