No other Metroid remakes are currently planned

Samus Returns released earlier this month and was met with some pretty awesome reviews.  Metroid: Samus Returns takes Metroid II: Return of Samus and reimagines the title while keeping the 2D side-scrolling, instead of making it a straight port of the original game.

With Samus Returns being so highly rated, you'd think remaking another Metroid title would be a done deal. Apparently, it's not.

In an interview with Game Rant, Samus Returns producer and Metroid franchise co-creator, Yoshio Sakamoto, revealed that there are currently 'no plans' to make another Metroid remake.

“It really depends on the reasons you have for undertaking such a challenge, whether there’s a need for it, and your own motivation, but at the moment I have no plans for another remake. I think we need to spend time considering whether fans are only wanting remakes going forward, and what that might mean.”

Basically, it's up to the fans and that means, it's up to how many people buy Samus Returns.
