Aren't they constantly hiring someone? I doubt this means too much, but it's cool to know nontheless^^



Woah what the hell happened to the formatting?



How long have they been working on this one? 5 Months?
Your question, whether they will show this or not, is redundant.
I'd love to see a new metroid game though...

You never know with Nintendo ^^ maybe they'll show concept art, or atleast mention the fact that this game is in development.

and the Metroid option is still there, so is it a Yes, No or a No, No?

As optimistic as I am, I say yes , but no ;)

I assume that it won't be revealable at E3..



Hopefully the bosses won't be as horrible as those DKC - TF bosses. I'll hand out boss 2 and 3 to them, but the rest were not fun or good.

Hardly anyone works there who worked on Prime 1. Even if it WAS Metroid, how do you know it'd be Retro Metroid?
