Igarashi would be 'incredibly honored' to work on a Metroid game

Coming from Koji Igarashi...

Nintendo is very careful about protecting their IPs and making any changes to their games. Around the time that I was proving that I could do multiple titles and do them well, Nintendo had shifted to Metroid Prime and they were having success turning their 2D games into 3D. So they probably decided from that point on that Metroid was going to be a 3D game series, and by that rationale, my style of games didn’t really fit their criteria. That would be my guess. I would be incredibly honored.

Man, that would probably be a fantastic 2D Metroid outing. The question is, would Nintendo ever do another 2D Metroid?
