Really good interview with Retro on Nintendo.com. Here is a snippet:

Sounds like there will be another Metroid game by Retro. They seem to enjoy the franchise
NP: Are you thinking beyond Echoes? Anything in the hopper?
Karl: We've got 10,000 ideas. Every time you come out of a project you say "man, if I have four more months I'd do this!", and that's always the seeds of whatever you're going to do next.
Mike: Seeds from Prime are in Metroid Prime 2. We were successful the last time, we knew what we didn't have a chance to do last time, we knew what we wanted to do this time, and we have the best people in the industry as far as I'm concerned. We're here approaching the end, so right now we're just focused on making this one good.
NP: What's it like working at retro? What's a typical day?
Karl: It's a great place to work. From the very start when we got the Metroid license, we were all immensely excited to work on a Metroid title. We're happy with what we've done to it and what we plan to do to it.
Mike: It's very daunting. The Metroid license is a very big deal, and living up to the previous games and making sure that we carry forth the spirit in a way that was perceived as risky was an extremely difficult but very rewarding project to tackle. But, you know, we get here around 5:30 in the morning and make coffee and start working and usually we're here late at night making sure every i is dotted and t is crossed.
