In the immediate future, it seems like the focus will be on the Mario universe and perhaps Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Although there&#8217;s no Metroid movie on the horizon, you can always check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/metroid_prime_remastered\">Metroid Prime Remastered<\/a> release on the Switch, if you are looking for a Metroid experience. Nintendo recently added <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/metroid_fusion\">Metroid Fusion<\/a> to the Switch Online&#8217;s GBA service as well.<\/p>\n<p><em>Would you be interested in a Metroid movie later down the line?
