Team Ninja shows interest in working with Nintendo again on Metroid

Metroid: Other M was a very unique collaboration for Nintendo. Never before had the company worked with an outside studio for a new entry in one of its major franchises.

Although the title saw a mixed reception, Team Ninja studio head Yosuke Hayashi does have interest in working on another Metroid project with Yoshio Sakamoto.

Hayashi said:

“Unfortunately Metroid is kind of out of our league as it’s Nintendo’s game, but we’re still in close touch with co-creator Sakamoto-san, so we want to do something with him moving forward definitely. It really depends on what he wants to do with the game first.”
