Retro Studios takes break from Metroid Prime

“We are taking a break from the Metroid series and from Samus”, said series director and Retro, Mark Pacini during a video interview on Yahoo Games. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption which shipped for the Nintendo Wii console last week was the series third and final installment.

Retro Studios, owned by Nintendo, blew the dust off and revitalized the old Nintendo sci-fi favorite when it began creating the Metroid Prime series. While many were skeptical about the game’s character Samus moving from the old side-scrolling action adventure to a first person shooter, the game was able to successfully held true to the story of the old game while introducing new functions and playability to the newer version.

After enduring several canceled projects to include Raven Blade for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, Metroid Prime gave the company new life and, since then, has been dedicated to the series. Pacini said after eight years of creating the series they want a break bur promises there will be other games to experience.

“I’m sure there’ll be other titles created, but as far as the Retro Studios is concerned, we’re taking a break for a little bit,” Pacini said but no word on upcoming games from Retro Studios have been announced as of yet.
