Metroid: Other M gilt jetzt schon als bedeutender Teil der Metroid-Reihe und das aus vielerlei Gründen, wie als überraschendes Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit mit den Entwicklern bei Team Ninja. Jetzt fragt man sich natürlich, ob sich Großkonzern Nintendo wieder an Team Ninja wenden wird.
In einem Interview mit Yoshio Sakamoto ließ dieser verlauten, dass er bereit sei, noch einmal mit Team Ninja zusammen zu arbeiten. Er sei sehr dankbar, dass sie es trotz zwei vollkommen verschiedener Unternehmen geschafft haben, dieses Projekt so fertig zu stellen, wie es geschehen ist.

“There’s always the possibility and if the opportunity comes I’m very willing to work with Team Ninja once again. After all I’m very grateful for the collaboration with Team Ninja coming up with Metroid Other M for this one and even though we are two different companies I think we successfully removed the wall between two different companies.

So as far as my opinion is concerned if we are going to make something similar to Metroid Other M in the future I cannot think that it would be possible for Nintendo to make it without collaborating with Team Ninja. Afterall they are that good a partner to us and we are pretty valuable to them as well.

As far as I’m concerned I’m willing to work with them once again if the opportunity comes but, of course, before deciding anything I have to admit I have no idea about what I should do with this Metroid franchise.

If we are going to decide the next Metroid is going to be a linear extension of Other M then Team Ninja comes first in my mind as the partner for us to collaborate with.

But if I’m going to decide that it’s going to be a different story for the next Metroid adventure then depending on the skills, know-how and technology that might require, Team Ninja might not be the choice for us to collaborate with.

But once again I don’t have any idea right now.”
