Possible 2D Metroid hint ?

I think if Metroid was to make a return it'd be a 3d entry, but they're making a 2d pikmin game. So really anything can happen.

Comparison doesn't make much sense as Metroid started as a 2D game and all the 2D entries were well received. 

Huh? It was simply a post saying I don't expect Metroid to return to 2d but Nintendo does things I'd expect even less. Not a comparison...
