If Metroid Pinball is done by one of the internal development teams, I think it'll be pretty darn good. This is all conjecture at this point, so I wouldn't get hyped up too much either way.
A full-fledged 2-D Metroid game for the DS would be nice, but since Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes were both released fairly recently I don't think it's entirely necessary. Actually, a pinball game will be a nice change of pace for the franchise. I'm a huge Metroid fan, but I don't want the franchise to get overexposed (and no, I don't think the pinball game is overexposured b/c it's a side project as far as I'm concerned).
