so basically it's either Pikmin 3 or a MetroidMetroid 2 remake by team ninja?

awesome!!

also, isn't this Ross character the painter with the happy clouds? I thought he was dead...

You're thinking of Bob Ross. This is Jonathan who is a former BBC talk show host and is also the husband of Jane Goldman, the co-writer of the film adaptation of Kickass. He also voiced Barry Hatch in Fable 3 and has done various BBC mini series such as Japanorama (he's a big anime/game fan)

Anyway, finally hearing about a release date will be nice as well as seeing some new titles. Pikmin would be nice to see, but maybe we'll get some 3rd party stuff too. I can't see a new Metroid already, though if Team Ninja and Sakamoto really HAVE started on another one, then criminy

My guess is if SPD1 is being set to anything, it's likely a WarioWare 3DS. WarioWare probably beats Metroid sales, and would certainly be more profitable even at similar levels, and Nintendo might be squeamish on committing to another Metroid so quickly.

More like announcing one merely FIVE MONTHS after a previous installment would never happen. It's not a choice of "if" for a flagship franchise like Metroid, merely "when"

Guys I wouldn't take the Metroid comment seriously. The guy was probubly just getting the readers excited. Notice his comment didn't specifically confirm anything. Also take note that it says the fan was happy there will be a suprise and Ross responded "I think you'll be pleased then" he may have not been talking about Metroid at all or he might have just been riling the fan up.

Killjoy! :P

Anyway, can't wait for this 3DS badass-ness.

I reckon it will be a new Metroid developed most likely by Retro Studios, perhaps part of the Prime series? I do remember seeing a leaked picture not to long ago.

I demand that you show that picture to me.

Now.

I think he's talking about this: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=122445

Note: you should read the whole thread before getting excited :(

Thank you for posting this, I have seen many games in similar situations that were eventually announced. Hold on is that on DSi? :(

That screenshot is definitely the 3DS - you can see the slide-pad and the 3D slider

Yes it's on 3DS. That was @ E3, and it was just a static character model you could view from different angles to show off the 3D effect. Kind of like Smash Brothers' trophies. There were models for Link, a bunch of Mario characters, and even Pikmin, too. It's not from a Metroid game.

As for this rumour, IF there's going to be a Metroid game shown, it won't be a Prime 4, I guess. Retro hasn't had the time to make it so quickly after DKCR. And I doubt Nintendo would let some other studio develop it.

I read somewhere that while they were working on DKCR they had another project in the works as well. Can’t remember were though

I hope it is a FPS/A Metroid!!
