So Next Level Games(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moons) was at one point working on a pitch for the Metroid series. But it ended up being scrapped. I don't know a whole lot about this apart from the fact that it would have been likely made for the 3DS. You guys think Retro studios picked up where Next Level games left off from this?

Quote:The Canadian studio Next Level Games is Nintendo fans especially thanks to the first Luigi's Mansion 2 a term. From the Iwata Asks interview about the game, it appeared that the studio had originally developed the prototype of another Nintendo game. But suddenly have the Canadians on Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe Luigi's Mansion 2 set. The prototype has been canceled.
Until now it was unknown to what it was for a game. Apparently said prototype was but for a Metroid game. For now the independent studios were in the public portfolio of a former concept artist Metroid -Konzeptstudien found. The artist left the studio in late 2009, that is about the time when the prototype was canceled.
This does not mean that the prototype is lost forever. Next Level Games for some time working on a new project namely. It could be anything - so perhaps you may have picked up the prototype again. Also note that Kensuke Tanabe cooperates not only with Next Level Games, but also with the Retro Studios - the developers of the Metroid Prime series. Maybe he dropped the project in favor of another Metroids from the house Retro Studios cancel.
