Despite rumors and speculation surrounding a possible 2D bounty-hunter adventure called Metroid Dread, Nintendo has other plans. Take not making a 2D Metroid game, for instance. How's that for a good plan?
Straight and to the point, from Computer and Video Games:
"Nintendo is not making the 2D Metroid at this point in time," Nintendo told CVG.
Oh, good. That's great. Well, at least that'll free up Nintendo's devs to spend some quality time making the games gamers want to play. Like crossword puzzle titles and fourteen Brain Age spin-offs. Because, you know, the readers of Martha Stewart Living would never be able to wrap their heads around a 2D Metroid title, so what's the point?
Maybe Nintendo will hear our exassperated sighs and change its mind. Or hey, I hear online petitions work.

How much is this worth to you?
(old man voice)
Darn you Nintendo!!
Then again, we can't even get Nintendo to release us games that already exist. Mother 3 says "Hi."
Really, i mean, is ok to attack the no hardcore of the gaming, but, at the end of the day is the hardcore audience that spends more money in the industry.
Nintendo is making a mistake with this hardcore non-hardcore approach.
Somone please tell me there's another game I can get.
And don't mention the words Mario and Strikers together.
Seriously Nintendo. A 2-d Metroid would kick so much ass. I've been playing the hell out of Super Metroid via VC.
There are plenty of other characters Nintendo could breathe life into, Kid Icarus on the Wii? something like that maybe.
Having said that, why shouldn't they make Metroid Dread? I just can't work Nintendo out - "Right, we've got a choice between another Kirby racing game, Mario Party 9 or that complete, fully realised, non spinoff 3D Pokemon RPG everyone has always wanted and would sell by the millions...Mario Party 9 it is then."
How can they not make Metroid Dread? Not to worry, Mario & Sonic At The Olympics has a DS version too.
I love Mario Strikers. If it's not your thing, it's not our job to rationalize you buying a console with games you don't like.
@zardoz,
I think a big reason they might seem hesitant to make tons of metroid games instead of MP9 or brain age 42 is that metroid doesn't sell so well in japan. Mario Party and brain age, on the other hand, sell extremely well worldwide.
How about a new punch out guys? huh? hello? Little Mac? If he isnt in the new smash bros. Im just giving up on this franchise altogether.
But I would totally love for this to happen.
Kid Icarus sucks. Kid Icarus has always sucked. Metroid was a least cool till it went 3d.

It also could be the cool flipping Samus does.
I've heard that before lol.
