Very interesting.

i hope its a new game! but its probably not

maybe a story conscerning the backstory of the hunters, but as for what it is i think its a manga, a gaiden game would seem to weird after MP3s ending

Metroid Dread, anyone?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

 Metroid, Metroid II Return Of Samus, Super Metroid (Metroid 3) and Metroid: Fusion (Metroid 4) are the main storyline.

Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption are a sub-series taking place between Metroid and Metroid II.

I'm guessing a manga. They've done it before and it's totally not Nintendo's style to reveal a new Metroid game in some obscure corner of one of their game sites.

the thing is metroid, metroid II, super and fusion, follow samus' struggle with metroids and metroid prime follows samus struggles wih metroids. what prime did was place samus in a different time, as oppose to placing her in the most linear matter after fusion, this way the storyline acquires more depht and players are left expeculation when in the timelien does priem takes place. i can be wrong but this is what i think.
