I loved the direction the series went with Metroid Fusion, and more recently with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, so I'm pumped for this news!
Finally, the world will know Samus' backstory for real (and more).
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
