DS Metroid title in the works?

Whilst the recent Wii release of Metroid Prime Trilogy seemed to have drawn a close to Samus Aran’s FPS wanderings for the time being, Nintendo has now hinted at the possibility of a new game on the series for the DS.

Speaking to ONM, developer Kansuke Tanabe admitted: 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.”

Whether this possible new title would be another 3D outing a la DS launch title Metroid Prime Hunters or the long-rumoured new 2D instalment remains to be seen.
