Why dont you inform yourself better? New metroids have been confirmed to be in the works. One 3D and one 2D.

Chilax and be patient. Get some Xenoblade X and Zelda goodness while you wait. I got no doubt that Metroid will be Nintendo's big 2016 game.

Don't lie, it's not confirmed.

Not officially, but i think it was Miyamoto himself at E3 that confirmed that they would have metroid back and there will be something for the 2D fans of metroid aswell. If this isnt confirmation, then i dont know what is besides an official announcement.

He specifically said that about the 2D part, he wasnt asked that part, he brought it up himself. That is a confirmation of at least a 3DS 2D metroid in my book. Why else would he even mention that?
