People have been forecasting Metroid at E3 every year since 2012.

Yes, but last year Nintendo acknowledged that they planning new Metroid games.

Except that, Metroid was on two previous consoles and gamepad is perfect for Metroid game. I say that are pretty good chances to see Metroid at E3.

The first link is only really confirmation that they haven't mothballed the series, not an admission that they had anythng in the works at the time, and the second is just the result of a poll of Kotaku's userbase.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but at the last three E3s the internet predicted HD Metroid, and every time it wasn't there.

I feel sorry for the people that Wii U is their primary gaming device. For people like me that have gaming pc and/or other consoles it is ok to wait some time for Xenoblade Chronicles X , Fatal Frame V and Zelda .

-First link, that was last year after E3, they certainly wont say we are working on Metroid for Wii U in that time.

-Second link was answer to Miyamoto question what games they want for Wii U, and Metroid was on first place by far, that is very obvious indicator to Miyamoto what fans would wanted to see on Wii U.

-For this E3 they said "we have new games that using more gamepad", like I said, Metroid is perfect for gamepad.

-Also, GC had 2 Metroid games, Wii had 2 Metroid games, I cant see Wii U without Metroid game.

-Rare start to work on new game at end of 2013.

-One of the first Wii downloadable games for Wii U was Metroid Trilogy.

 

For me chances are pretty good for Metroid at E3.

The poll was taken from just one website (Kotaku) though, we don't know if Metroid was the most requested game in the channels Nintendo monitored.

Metroid would also be a risky proposition on Wii U, as it would likely be expensive to make but may not sell well due to the small console base.

I'm not saying abandon all hope, but I'd keep my expectations in check.

How do people have enough free time to play a game a month?

Like I've said before, u need both the handheld and console to get the full Nintendo experience. Having 3DS+Wii U, there are really never any droughts and tons of games to choose from. Just another reason why I believe Nintendo should fully unify their hardware and release all games on both form factors.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Don't feel sorry for us, we're doing just fine thank you.

I have no shortage of things to play and I've got a PC as my secondary device for a couple of indies. Most of the AAA third-party stuff just looks so boring to me.

Almost every Nintendo Wii U game have very good attach rate and there current around or above 1m (if you closer look worst selling Nintendo Wii U games are cheaper and smaller games).

I mentioned multiply reasons why I think we will see Metroid on E3, for me chances are around 70%.

The releases are in store shelves.

Metroid has a hint since 2013, so no. Nothing points to a Metroid game this E3 and even less when Retro choose to do DK rather than Metroid.

Well, they do at least have Zelda for 2016, which is the only game on that list confirmed for that year as far as I know.

Aside from that, that's a poor reason. You can't say they won't have anything in 2016 without these games, because you don't know what they have planned for 2016. We didn't know about a lot of 2015 titles until E3 2014.

And honestly, I don't think 2014's first half was THAT much better, if at all.

Zelda is TBD, not 2016.
