I enjoy the Prime games very much, and the Gamecube titles are among the best games of this generation. The good thing is that while Retro have transformed the series on the home consoles, 2D games have continued to be released on Nintendo's handhelds, catering for those who don't like the change of direction. As long as both styles of game continue to be made, then I see no reason for the Prime series to be ended just yet.
