To me it is obvious Nintendo has either started creating it or they have begun the process of making it. I'm just happy Nintendo is acknowledging the existence of both Metroid Prime and Samus Aran. Brighter days ahead.

Let's hope so. Retro Studios was absent at e3 and Reggie did mention wanting to surprise fans with a Metroid game release.

I would not expect it soon though.  Maybe nx  launch title if it launches in 2017 or later.
