Seems like something big is happening next week because there's a major maintenance for Wii U and 3DS: http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=181743474 Maybe the DeNA account system?

I think there will be a Direct before Monday that also talks about Twilight Princess HD.

No Metroid game if Tanabe didn't lie here:

No mainline Metroid before 2018.

Offcourse he didnt told true.

That Interview was right after E3, Nintendo certainly wouldn't say if they working on new Metroid Prime and not showing it, or saying on this years E3 "yes new Metroid Prime is in work but we will showing it for one year and its for NX platform you dont know anything about and that we will be revealed to next year too".

I am pretty sure that new Metroid Prime is in development from 2013-2014, very likely moved Wii U project to NX and 1st years NX game. Saying that, we will see new Metroid Prime on E3 next year.

Please, he wouldn't give Eurogamer an interview and say that hasn't been able to collect a team or the resources to do a Metroid Prime game if there was a secret one in development. He would say nothing at all.

I think a high-budget Metroid isn't on Nintendo's priority list because the sales don't justify the development costs.

Maybe a sidescrolling MEtroid from Retro is a possiblilty, but I doubt that.

Agree with you.

And by the way, few days ago I was thinking how wonderfull would be if Retro made Metroid 5 with the Tropical Freeze engine, it could be a truly gorgeous 2D Metroid game that make long time fans of the franchise very happy and since it´s a 2D game it could be relatively cheap to do so it would be easily profitable on WiiU. Sadly is not gonna happen... I would cry of joy though.
