Topic: Metroid Dread?

[IssunZX]

I was browsing Nintendo Life and, according to an interview on Kotaku, another Metroid game besides Other M might be in the works.

It's not entirely confirmed, but the director said that it MAY one day be released. It seems they're focusing on Other M right now though.

I wonder would this be a hand held or what? a 2D console metroid?! I'd buy it.

IGN: [Laughing] We guess that answers it then. Okay, we have to ask about Metroid Dread. It popped up on an internal Nintendo release list awhile back and we haven't heard anything about it since.

Yoshio Sakamoto: This is quite awhile ago. A few E3s back. I can only say right now that this is Other M, it is not Metroid Dread. But as a concept the Metroid Dread idea does still exist within my mind so maybe sometime in the future I will be able to bring that to you.

IGN: Are you burned out on the prospect of doing another 2D Metroid, or does the possibility still excite you, maybe for WiiWare or DSiWare, if nothing else?

Yoshio Sakamoto: It's not as though my team or myself have grown tired of creating 2D games, but I think it's all what the concept is, what the game design is, and what best suits that whether it's on the Wii or DS. So moving forward, if an idea comes up that is best suited for DS then we'll pursue that.

Sounds pretty non-concrete to me. :/

Who would have thought this day would come? Might be one of the few games I plan to buy day one.
