The first link is only really confirmation that they haven't mothballed the series, not an admission that they had anythng in the works at the time, and the second is just the result of a poll of Kotaku's userbase.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but at the last three E3s the internet predicted HD Metroid, and every time it wasn't there.

-First link, that was last year after E3, they certainly wont say we are working on Metroid for Wii U in that time.

-Second link was answer to Miyamoto question what games they want for Wii U, and Metroid was on first place by far, that is very obvious indicator to Miyamoto what fans would wanted to see on Wii U.

-For this E3 they said "we have new games that using more gamepad", like I said, Metroid is perfect for gamepad.

-Also, GC had 2 Metroid games, Wii had 2 Metroid games, I cant see Wii U without Metroid game.

-Rare start to work on new game at end of 2013.

-One of the first Wii downloadable games for Wii U was Metroid Trilogy.

For me chances are pretty good for Metroid at E3.

The poll was taken from just one website (Kotaku) though, we don't know if Metroid was the most requested game in the channels Nintendo monitored.

Metroid would also be a risky proposition on Wii U, as it would likely be expensive to make but may not sell well due to the small console base.

I'm not saying abandon all hope, but I'd keep my expectations in check.
