First! Now I will maturely read the article... Done.

YAY!

Wow a 2nd Metroid!? YES,PLEASE!!

This seems a bit misleading. The trailer seems to make it clear that it's a full 3D adventure, no matter how much I'd love for it to be "2.5D." Maybe there'll be 2.5D segments, but that's definitely not the whole game unless the trailer is a lie.

Also, the fact that Metroid Dread is a different project should be clear. It was under works a long time ago, pre-Wii. It's supposed to be a 2D game, from what I heard. I hope it does see the light of day eventually, though.

Yes, yes, yes! Side scroller baby!

@weirdadam: Well now it's absobalalutely confirmed that the project didn't turn into Metroid: Other M.

I hope Metroid Dread is being worked on. The last 2D Metorid was Fusion, and that was a while ago. With new 2.5D offerings of Mario and Zelda, Nintendo could complete that Triforce with a true 2.5D Metroid. Come on, Nintendo!

@Chicken- That's Dreadful.

@Chicken: I dread the prospect. Oh!... Okay, yes, highly likely.

Oh I hope it's a awesome looking 2D game for the DS!!

As of now, Dread is vaporware. It's not confirmed to be released. In fact, around MP3 times, it was confirmed to NOT be released, despite a misleading file you could scan in said game.

Cool. Metroid Dread is an awesome name. I hope it does come out soon.

Reply to Objection Blaster post #11: Ooooooh. A 2D Metriod would be awesome. Too bad you've had to flush many fans dream. Oh well, at least we have Metroid: Other M to look forward to. And it's been in development since 2006? By the time it's release, it would have match Final Fantasty XII development record, delay it until 2011 and we have a new record for the longest time a game was in development. Either way, it'll be an amazing Metriod game that surpass Metriod Prime 3: Corupption in every way. I am so buying that!

so it really is being worked on...if its for DS then we get a game for Wii and a game for DS

If I were a DS, I'd be feeling unloved by Samus. If Metroid Dread came to me (if I were a DS, remember), I'd feel happy. Simples.

Ah, my favorite word in the english language, boob-tastic.

I just have high hopes for Other M, Dread would be icing on a tasty cake.

I'm really looking forward to Metroid Projetc M, and I agree, it seems more like a full 3D game... has there been any confirmation about it being 2.5??

BTW, I'm sure many games have been in development for more than 4 years... Frontier: Elite II which took more than 5 years until it was released in 1993, comes to mind...

It's called Metroid Other M. I think Project M is what Team Ninja and Nintendo's collaboration is being dubbed as.

I'm pretty certain there's some 2.5D sidescrolling in the trailer.

Could it possibly be a 2.5 scroller that has some 3d stages? That's my vote. Seems to be in the spirit of 2.5, playing with perception, yes?

Maybe it will be a 2.5D side scroller for DS that would be awesome. 2D will be just fine too. Metroid Fusion in my opinion is the best game in the series. I want another and this is hope.

I love me some Metroid!!!! Great news...

Yeah this looks like some kick butt in a can!

@PhoenixSage: Actually, Zero Mission was the last 2D Metroid game. Not all THAT much more recent than Fusion, but it does still exist, y'know.

Anyway, another 2D Metroid would be so SWEET! Also, is anybody else amazed that Other M has been in development since 2006 and we never heard a PEEP until now? Nintendo sure knows how to keep secrets!

A new 2d Metroid would be sweet!

I'm getting a permanent (gaming) hard on since E3 (if you pardon the expression)

@Stuffgamer1: Oh yeah, forgot about Zero Mission. I was probably thinking about brand new Metroid games, and since Zero Mission was a remake, I forgot about it. Also, my Zero Mission is screwy and I can't really play it, so that probably helped.

I wouldn't really call Zero Mission a "remake." It's more of a "reimagination," I think. Barely similar to the original Metroid, really. Covers the story more than anything else, and it adds to that!
Even so, I more or less understand your point. People seem to forget about Zero Mission a lot, which seems odd to me since "Zero Suit Samus" is named such because she debuted in Zero Mission!

hoorah, Metroid dread, sounds cool

@StuffGamer: Right again. I should think about what I type before I type it. Zero Mission was very different from the original.
Yeah, you would think more people would remember Zero Suit Samus. That had to be my favorite part of Zero Mission. The tension of that sequence was awesome.

Maybe the metroids will have dreadlocks.... oh wait some already do!
