Wait for December direct or e3? Nintendo did say they are planning to work on a 3d and 2d Metroid 6 months ago so... they definitely havnt given up on it...

I've been waiting for the past 3 E3s and god knows how many Nintendo Directs. How long am I supposed to keep waiting?

Keep waiting! This generation aint over.
