I think when Tanabe made his statements regarding a Wii U Metroid, he was specifically talking about he and Retro working on a Metroid Prime game. I wouldn't be surprised if Sakamoto were working on a 2D Metroid. Even if he completely struck out with Other M, he's still capable of creating a good, gameplay heavy 2D Metroid game that only has enough story elements to provide a setting for the game.
