I reckon it will be a new Metroid developed most likely by Retro Studios, perhaps part of the Prime series? I do remember seeing a leaked picture not to long ago.

I demand that you show that picture to me.

Now.

I think he's talking about this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=122445

Note: you should read the whole thread before getting excited :(

Thank you for posting this, I have seen many games in similar situations that were eventually announced. Hold on is that on DSi? :(

That screenshot is definitely the 3DS - you can see the slide-pad and the 3D slider

Yes it's on 3DS. That was @ E3, and it was just a static character model you could view from different angles to show off the 3D effect. Kind of like Smash Brothers' trophies. There were models for Link, a bunch of Mario characters, and even Pikmin, too. It's not from a Metroid game.

As for this rumour, IF there's going to be a Metroid game shown, it won't be a Prime 4, I guess. Retro hasn't had the time to make it so quickly after DKCR. And I doubt Nintendo would let some other studio develop it.
