Metroid series producer Kensuke Tanabe has told Kotaku that Retro Studios are considering adding multiplayer to future titles in the Prime series.

Hear that kids? He said series.

"As all I take part in is the Prime series, I am not capable of commenting on the whole Metroid series," said Tanabe. "But we will keep considering multiplayer for the Prime series. For instance, I think I can come up with some unique ideas using the Morph Ball, which is a specific skill of Samus'.

Good to hear.

Tanabe goes on to discuss loads of development stuff, and lightly touches on the "mystery" title the teams is working on.

Thanks, Joystiq.
