Nintendo has shown off a new title in the Metroid series for 3DS.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/40458/metroid-prime-federation-force-revealed
Metroid Prime: Federation Force is coming to 3DS. Nintendo announced the 4 player co-op focused title as part of their E3 Digital Event presentation.
In Federation Forces, the player controls a member of a Federation combat team, fighting enemies of peace. Metroid Prime: Blast Ball, which was previously shown during the Nintendo World Championships, will also be included in the game.
It is unclear whether Samus will be making an appearance.
Didn't Lindemann predict that Nintendo would make an fps from a federation soldier's perspective a year or 2 ago?
Well at least this points heavily to Retro's new game being Metroid Prime 4. The original Hunters sold worse then then worst selling Prime game, so for Nintendo to make another Hunters, even still letting it keep the name Metroid Prime despite Samus nowhere in site, implies heavily the real deal is being worked on.

Retro Studios no long exists. It's just a shell company now.
...
Gameplay itself is like any other co-op console shooter, like Halo or Destiny.
You guys should totally sign the petition to cancel this game.

This is the meme for Rare, not Retro Studios. And neither are true.

Rare announced two games today. Retro hasn't announced a new game in two years.

Rare is not Retro. Retro is not Rare. Do you have a point, or do you just like comparing apples to oranges? Durrr. they're both developurs, so dey must be da same!
You have to love how Nintendo just slaps the "Prime" signifier on any Metroid not made in Japan, so they can keep the "Metroid" name "pure". ::)

I think it's more the fact that it's in first person.
I'd agree with you if Sakamoto wasn't on the record in interviews saying the "Prime" games are in their own continuity away from the mainline series, IIRC.I don't recall Sakamoto actually saying that. He just tends to ignore the Prime series as a side story. Nintendo still considers them in the same continuity even if they make far more sense as separate entities.

Or join the campaign to dislike the YT trailer video into oblivion (2,200 likes vs. 22,000 dislikes at the time of this post). I feel like this reaction is going overboard, but at the same time, they flung rocks at a gigantic beehive by putting the Metroid Prime name on this.
Ah but it does play the same because in Nintendo's mind Metroid Prime and Halo might as well be the same game because they have shooting and it's in a first person view. That bothers me and was a big reason why Hunters bothered me as well. I kind of expect a Japanese company to not get the FPS genre but Metroid Prime is something really special and NCL doesn't understand it. To them it's just this weird foreigner game. This is the company that tossed away Goldeneye/Perfect Dark and made no effort to replace it. Except they probably think they did because Metroid Prime is superficially similar if you only look at screenshots and have never played either game. So they can make this dumb bullshit and think "well this is an FPS, right? So make it a Metroid Prime game." Mission accomplished.(http://i.imgur.com/jrKlOoW.jpg)
Problem is, they need to announce the real deal before showing a spinoff like this. If Hyrule Warriors had been revealed with no talk at all about a new real Zelda game, fans would have been furious.
This is a series where the primary antagonist is a large brain, floating in a vase.
He has a robot body. Ambulatory functions of Krang far outstrip those of Mother Brain.
