Thanks to the latest Nintendo Power, we have some interesting tidbits from Nintendo developer Yoshio Sakamoto talking Metroid.

- “It’s certainly possible that in the future we’ll go back to another 2-D Metroid using some of the ideas that have been generated on this Other M project. So please don’t get the idea that this is the end of 2-D Metroid games.”
- “There were certainly some members on staff who weren’t entirely comfortable with committing us to a single control scheme, so they would ask questions like, “Couldn’t we just make it possible to connect the Nunchuk and have an alternate control scheme in the game?” But I felt like that was essentially the wrong way to think about it. Like if you have to tack on other options like that, then you really are admitting defeat as a game designer. …I felt like I really needed to prove something about why this was correct for the Samus universe in the first place.”
