In part of the interview, MTV had a Q&A session with [[Mark Pacini]] (''Corruption's'' game director), [[Tod Keller]] (art director), and [[Bryan Walker]](game producer) in which ''Dread's'' reference in ''Corruption'' was discussed and cast aside as a "fluke".<ref>[http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/09/26/retro-studios-answers-the-dreaded-metroid-dread-question-and-other-prime-exclusives/ MTV's extended interview section with Retro Studios on ''Corruption'']</ref> | Late 2007, MTVNews interviewed a couple of [[Retro Studios]] producers on the then-new ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.
