The latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine quizzed Miyamoto on a possible new entry in the popular Metroid series.
Metroid is one of the franchises that Nintendo have mixed up in recent years, passing the baton to Retro Studios for a critically-acclaimed first person adventure trilogy and to Team Ninja for a side-scrolling hybrid in Other: M.
Many fans had predicted that Retro had returned to the helm when it came to a new Metroid title for Wii U, however the team are working on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze instead as there had been numerous ideas since working on Donkey Kong Country Returns.
In the magazine, Miyamoto said that Nintendo "certainly want to see what we can do with it in the future" and that "Retro is a very high priority in terms of the potential team that would be considered for working on a Metroid game".
What are your thoughts on the future of Metroid - would you like another Metroid Prime styled adventure, or should Retro attempt a side-scroller?
