My guess is that Metroid Prime 3 will be months in the timeline before Metroid 2 Return of Samus at which point I think we'll see a remake of that game. I'm wondering if Retro is thinking of taking the series in to Zebes or reinventing another story which is probably closer to their plans.
Right now the full plot is:
Earth Colony is attacked by Space Pirates.
Orphaned girl Samus Aran is picked up by strange old man
(Chozo religion states that a savior will be found in the form of a child)
Old man revealed to be Chozo being, trains Samus
Metroid Zero Mission: Samus, now an adult, finds Space Pirate base on Zebes. Steals federation ship and infiltrates Zebes
Destroys living computer Mother Brain (1 of 3 known organic super computers used by the Space Pirates) and discovers animal called the Metroid used by the Space Pirates as a weapon
Metroid Prime: During her travels back from Zebes recieves a strange transmission from Tallon 4; Investigates to discover another Space Pirate base and their experimentation with a naturally occuring element called Phazon which under supervision and care can manipulate and mutate genetic material
Destroys Tallon 4 Space Pirate base and 'happy accident' Metroid Prime; A 'Tallon 4' Metroid (cloned imperfect Metroid) subjected to massive exposure to Phazon. This mutant created a hive towards the core of the planet where the most pure form of Phazon existed. In it's death throws it tries to survive by absorbing any phazon in the area incluing Samus Aran's Phazon suit.
During investigation of Tallon 4 learns that Space Pirates have many bases of operation including plans to reinstall on Zebes.
Metroid Prime Echoes: After leaving Tallon 4, crash lands on planet Aether. A defunct planet in a constant state of deminsional flux. Learns of a species that once was in close relations to the Chozo. Learns of a war that took place recently between the 'Luminoth' species and the alter deminsional beings called Ings. Samus is asked to fix the Luminoth's planet by powering generators which will destroy the alter deminsion created by the Luminoth
Space Pirates investigate Aether for it's possible Phazon desposits, Metroid Prime also is attacking the planet ripping it of any Phazon deposits, this incarnation of Metroid Prime takes on the form of Samus and it is using the alter deminsion to gain strength and use the Ing as its personal army
Samus kills Ing leader and shuts their deminsion out. Destroys Metroid Prime again and saves the Luminoth people (who now exist in a spiritual form)
Metroid Prime 3 ..... logic says that based on the last 2 Prime's is that is it will be a completely new planet so it's hard to make a prediction.
Metroid 2 Return of Samus: Finds Metroid homeworld planet SR388 and wipes out all Metroid. Discovers that Metroid is a larvae that if left alone will mutate and grow in to an adult. Wipes out all but one infant Metroid who finds Samus upon birth and doesn't attack her. (also learns that this planet was once the home to the Chozo)
Super Metroid: Samus takes the infant to the federation for experimentation to learn what and why it exists and if its energy syphoning ability can be produced to benefit mankind. General of the Space Pirates Ridley a man-made sentient monster who resembles a dragon with the brain of a genius steals the infant under orders from the remade Mother Brain who is reinstalled on Zebes. Samus leaves to investigate Zebes.
Destroys Space Pirate base on Zebes, and with the help of the infant Metroid the second Mother Brain and then evacuates the planet before its self-destruction.
Metroid Fusion: Now working for the federation of a bounty hunter Samus Aran recieves orders to investigate SR388 for a possible alien infestation. Discovers an animal called the X Parasite. This animal was once a natural predator to the Metroid, now that SR388 has been wiped out of Metroid the X have began to mutate and to attack any life forms and inanimate objects on the planet including Federation soldiers and Samus.
After her attack she is pronounced terminal though by introducing Metroid genetic material in to Samus could possibly negate the X Parasite infection. Her Chozo-made suit is so badly infected it must be removed until further study. Samus Aran's body has changed because of the Metroid genetic influences with in her. Learns that a Space Station orbiting SR388 has been infested with X Parasites; investigates.
New ship's computer 'Adam' guides Samus through Space Station and systematically destroys all X Parasites. Learns that the X Parasite are using Samus Aran's Chozo suit as a viable transportation off the Space Station. The station has every form of animal from SR388 including a creature that resembles Ridley and Metroid. The X Parasite infected suit called the SA-X is destroyed and the space station cannot be saved, everything on board it is also destroyed.
Metroid 5 .... Samus gets pregnant and grows a dick.
