Nintendo showed their new Wii U Zelda tonight off-screen which tells us it's a ways off in development. We can only imagine how far off a new Metroid game is when they are so reticent to show an already announced game. Metroid is dead. Get used to it.

 

[legacyzero]

Wrong.

Spoiler

please be wrong.

 

[Cody_D165]

good thread.

It's not dead, your body just isn't ready yet. Give it time.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Notice how they didn't announce a new game?

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

I disagree. Give it time. They can't show everything at once. I am willing to bet that Retro or some studio is working on it as we speak. I expect an announcement within a year.

 

[Green Mamba]

Metroid isn't anywhere near the draw that Zelda is. Even if they were developing a Metroid that doesn't mean they would necessarily show it before Zelda.

 

[Zalman]

Holy shit, they show off Zelda gameplay and people still complain.

 

[Pappasman]

Well Retro has gotta be working on something.

 

[injurai]

There can only be one coquettish highlander amazonian warrior at nintendo. It's the decade of Bayonetta right now.

 

[TheMoon]

Eh, you're making connections where there are none. Who knows what team they may have had tucked away somewhere working on one already.

You're jumping to random conclusions.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Hyperbole.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Nintendo at E3 said that they are interested in both 2d and 3d Metroid still, and hinted at Retro working on it. The short version is, you're wrong.

 

[Moff]

I was so sure reggie would say people always ask him about metroid

I would ask him about metroid

 

[GalacticMouse]

Correct me if I'm wrong but no "AAA" titles were announced at the show. I think this is a step in the right direction but huge pubs like Nintendo, Sony, EA, etc. aren't going to announce a huge new title on an unproven award show.

Metroid is an E3 surprise type of game when they get around to making another one.

 

[Mellahan]

Certainly, OP. This was the end-all-be all event.

 

[SalvaPot]

Pretty sure the next Metroid is a title for the New 3DS made by Retro Studios in 2.5 with the Donkey Kong engine.

Fall 2015

 

[Admiral Woofington]

good thread.

Get ready for "We're not getting a new Crash for a long time" this weekend

 

[Phamit]

Metroid is 2016, no need to show it now.

And if if it skips the Wii U, doesn't mean it's dead

 

[Chuck]

remember that instant when reggie said "people are always asking me about..." and you were screaming in your head and maybe aloud, "METROID"

yeah...

 

[Sheroking]

Retro's last game came out 9 months ago.

Needs time bro.

 

[Oersted]

How many new games got revealed at this advertorial? 1? 2?

 

[Schryver]

Yep was hoping that would be the final thing they showed. So sad :/

 

[SolVanderlyn]

After that Star Fox release date microton, and random Nintendo Directs popping up out of oblivion, I don't believe this for a second.

One day I will wake up and new Metroid news will be all over the internet.

 

[Surface of Me]

remember that instant when reggie said "people are always asking me about..." and you were screaming in your head and maybe aloud, "METROID"

yeah...

it hurts

 

[Hidden One]

I want a 2D metroid. Not a fan of the 3D ones.

 

[Feichaw]

You're wrong, OP. The Last Guardian is dead. Half-Life 3 is dead. Shenmue 3 is dead. Metroid is just in a coma. It'll wake up eventually.

 

[Bluenova]

Hey I wish there was some Metroid hints or a surprise TOO. I prefer its Sci fi, and for me above the rest of Nintendo's ips. I don't think its dead but also I don't see one even by 2017.. lol maybe that's too far

 

[xmajinjoshx]

I was so sure reggie would say people always ask him about metroid

I would ask him about metroid

You and me both buddy.

 

[Schnozberry]

I hope we get some news at E3 this year. Nintendo's 2015 is pretty stacked so I'm not really worried about it.

 

[Floridian]

E3 2015 always.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Oh, you're still around?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Holy shit, they show off Zelda gameplay and people still complain.

Because everyone wanted Zelda.

OP, they said a new Star Fox is coming out BEFORE the new Zelda, and yet nobody has seen anything from it. It could very well be into development as we speak, which it most likely is. It's probably a 2016 title at the latest.

 

[Satch]

reggie is shit

"people always ask us......."


???


"what about the new............."

?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"zelda?"

just fuck off

 

[skLaFarebear]

People expecting a metroid announcement tonight lol.

 

[entremet]

You guys are hilarious with your Metroid anticipation. Let retro cook. It takes time.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

8 years is the biggest gap between Metroid games. When we reach that point, you can worry.

But I'd love to see one soon.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Like another year? Hold your goddamn horses

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Uhhh...they didn't announce any new games tonight.

A lack of Metroid at this event means NOTHING. Jesus.

 

[Astral Dog]

Yeah, this was obvious, after other M they really need to be careful with the franchise, just try to enjoy the other niche games Nintendo has released for now.

 

[Chris R]

Metroid as a launch title for the next console in 2016.

 

[KarmaCow]

Both Sakamoto and Retro thought pushing Metroid with a traditional narrative and restrictive progession was the right direction for the series so clearly Nintendo has no idea what made the series great in the first place.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

reggie is shit

"people always ask us......."


???


"what about the new............."

?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"zelda?"

just fuck off

lmaoooooooooooooo

I'm cryin'

 

[Tenki]

Metroid is dead because they decided to hype their biggest 2015 game instead. Yep.

 

[Azure J]

Boy there sure are a lot of facts and citations to back the claim in this thread!

Spoiler

[Dénouement]

Nintendo and their handling of F-Zero and Metroid is why I have trust issues.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Why are Metroid fans so dramatic about it being dead all the time?

There was like an eight year gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime, the last Metroid came out in 2010, and if you disregard that, seven years ago Prime 3. It's not really dead, it's just taking another break because it's not really a yearly series.

Samus gets a decent amount of references by Nintendo, just because an IP doesn't have a new game out every console doesn't mean it's dead. Dead is when a series is completely ignored in every way.

 

[RPGCrazied]

If I don't see one by next E3, I'll lose all hope and say Samus is dead.

It's not dead! The last one is just in captivity! The galaxy is at peace!

 

[WickedLaharl]

what if not everyone cared for zelda and liked metroid instead? what a crazy world that would be!
