Though Other M looms on the horizon in 2010, the Prime series may not be at an end just yet.

Official Magazine discussed the future of the series with Kensuke Tanabe, of Studios, who offered these thoughts:

"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 realizing it on or DSi."

So it seems the series has a decent chance at an extended life. Tanabe even briefly mentioned the idea of a Prime trilogy.

More from us as the news develops.
