He believes the GamePad opens up 'fantastic' possibilities for Metroid.

Shigeru Miyamoto is interested in seeing Metroid and Star Fox come to the Wii U.
Mr. Miyamoto points out that the functionality of the Wii U GamePad offers the possibility of interesting new gameplay mechanics. Specifically, he mentioned that "having another screen with the gyro built in really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development, and we can bring a lot of our games to life in a completely unique way with that."
In addition to his ideas for Metroid, he also mentioned that the franchise that he personally wants to see come to the system the most is Star Fox, a franchise that was skipped over on Wii. Outside of a Metroid-themed Nintendo Land attraction, no games in either franchise have been announced for Wii U.
If that's the case then maybe we give too much credit to Retro for Metroid Prime's greatness when Miyamoto might have been responsible for much of that.

I only want to see another Star Fox if Nintendo makes it themselves.
And Zelda is dark(Twilight princess, Majora's Mask, OTT ), serious, has a deeper story than Metroid(God that timeline is complex) and most importantly, hardcore. It's just that some of the graphics are simlified which makes some of the games look kiddy at first glance.Actually, I don't even consider Zelda Miyamoto's lovechild anymore. It belongs to Aonuma. He's the one who turned boring, drab and without any personality at all Ocarina of Time into Majora's Mask - a game oozing with charm and character all around. Aonuma directed that game and it completely shows its distinctive elements against Miyamoto's OoT. It also helped that boring ol' Dan Owsen stepped down from the English translation in OoT, and Bill Trinen (I believe) took over for Majora's Mask - in which you can clearly tell he brought those characters to life.
@Ian Sane.
I seriously disagree with your statement. What is casual about Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario bros. for that matter? Only Mario I can call casual is Mario Kart, and that's mostly made by Hideki Konno. Hell, StarFox is diffucult as hell.

Nintendo games just aren't needlessly violent or over dosed with melodrama. They just try to appeal to a wide demographic.
