Nintendo's Kensuke Tanabe has intimated that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not be the last we'll see of the Prime series. Another handheld iteration may even be in the cards.

Speaking to Official Nintendo Magazine, Tanabe said,

We are always planning to make new games in the Metroid Prime series. Depending on the timing and the situation, we cannot deny the possibility of realising it on DS or DSi.

The last -- and only -- handheld entry in the series was 2006's Metroid Prime Hunters. Wii owners, on the other hand, saw the release of the Trilogy collection this year.

Yup, I loved the Prime series, possibly the best 2D to 3D translations outside of Mario himself.

The only letdown were the cutscenes in Metroid Prime 3, but then the rest of the game made up for it.

Roll on more games in the series, love to see some new DSi based action, maybe a link with the Wii, bring it on!

I hope we get some new titles soon. Metroid Prime Corruption was one of the very few Wii titles i really enjoyed.

But actually it's pretty obvious that there will be new games. as long as fans want it(and as long as it makes money), there will be new games.

I want my side scrolling Metroids back. The Prime series has always felt like a better-than-average Quake 2 mod to me. Above average for a mod, but still not what I was hoping for. It was, indeed, a good 2d to 3d conversion, but in my eyes it just wasn't necessary.

"The last -- and only -- handheld entry in the series was 2006's Metroid Prime Hunters."

Metroid Prime Pinball was released in 2005.

But -I feel like DOOM playing the FPS series - They are good but not my type. Im waiting for Metroid: Other M to come out - that's when I get into it again. Game looks awesome so far.
