Late 2007, MTVNews interviewed a couple of [[Retro Studios]] producers on the then-new ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. 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]]''.

<blockquote>'''''MTV: What's the story behind the [[:Project "Dread" mp3 Screenshot.jpg|apparent reference]] in "[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3]]" to "Metroid Dread," the rumored but never-confirmed 2D game some fans hope is being made at [[Nintendo]]?'''''<br />[[Mark Pacini|Pacini]]: "It's not what you think it means… it was something that was overlooked and wasn't in any way indicating anything about the handheld game. We know no information about the handheld games. <br /><br />'''''MTV: Are you suggesting that you got in trouble or something?'''''<br />Pacini: Not at all. We actually had a fictional element of something else in the game that by a large coincidence could be read that we were giving a hint about "Metroid Dread" which was not the case. It's a complete and utter coincidence.<br /><br />'''''MTV: OK.'''''<br />Pacini: That's all I can say on it.<br /><br />'''''MTV: That only makes me more confused. [laughing] I'll see if I can parse what you just said to me.'''''<br />[[Bryan Walker]], Producer, [[Retro Studios]]: I think the bottom line there was [that there was] no innuendo in the reference that you're mentioning.<br /><br />'''''MTV: But you guys expected that some people would have a reaction to it. That it would be the stuff of news stories, yes?'''''<br />Pacini: We didn't think anything of it.<br />Walker: Purely innocuous, really.<br /><br />'''''MTV: Really? Honestly?'''''<br />Walker: We're not that clever. No conspiracy.<br /><br />'''''MTV: [pause, laughing] You're not pulling my leg here. Definitely innocuous?'''''<br />Walker: Yup.</blockquote> | <blockquote>'''''MTV: What's the story behind the [[:File:Project "Dread" mp3 Screenshot.jpg|apparent reference]] in "[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3]]" to "Metroid Dread," the rumored but never-confirmed 2D game some fans hope is being made at [[Nintendo]]?'''''<br />[[Mark Pacini|Pacini]]: "It's not what you think it means… it was something that was overlooked and wasn't in any way indicating anything about the handheld game.
