amusing that we should hear this from someone who's never touched the Metroid series (Eguchi is probably best known as the director of Animal Crossing). The statement sounds more like speculation (or wishful thinking) than actually admitting that there is a new Metroid in the works. The context of this came from Eguchi's Wii U demo called Battle Mii in which Samus' ship was used. It could possibly be an homage on his part or a hint.
If this is true I could see some cool ideas for the controller, such as using it as a scanner or having it display the map.I'm sure Sakamoto and his boys could think of more than a few things
