if anyone is wondering....yes, this account is legit, because the president and ceo of retro studios is following it.
but it has nothing to do with the random pr messup on nintendo's site. any connection between the two is reaching way too far.
I would be legit pissed if Retro were making a new Metroid game and it was on the 3DS.
That said, I don't think it's really related.

It's still there.

People called Romanes they go the house?
I'm in the USA also, and I see no mention of Metroid, and don't see a Mario on the games section.

I'll believe it when I see the game running on a 3DS...

Well, now. This did happen before the page was posted here though, for whatever it's worth.

and done....
well it's nice to see metroid return i guess, i was hoping for a wii u game but 3ds is ok.
Come to think of it, it's very un-nintendo like to release the trilogy on wii u before announcing a new wii u game at e3 so this makes sense.
in the past nintendo waits until the new game is out and then after put the older versions on virtual console e.t.c
So metroid for 3ds it is...
"Do you see me?"
"No one wants to see your crazy tweets"
"You wanna go?"
Uh.. Yeah. GAF.
I think it might be happening guys.

It was in an interview post E3 but Miyamoto said that they were working on two new metroid games but they had nothing to show yet.

I think around E3 they said they were looking into a 2D and 3D Metroid, I think it was Miyamoto.

Couldn't you play peekaboo on Hey You Pikachu for the N64? I could see that game getting a sequel before Metroid.

How cool would a close together or simultaneous launch be, with each game sharing linking stories. 2d Metroid on 3DS and a new Metroid Prime style game on Wii U!
(or they could be Nintendo and fuck with us by doing it vice versa)

After the success of Luigi's Mansion 2, I could see them returning to their Metroid project...

Why would they prioritize Metroid 1 and 2 over other series? They could have said Fire Emblem, or Zelda, or Donkey Kong, or Kirby, or several other series, but they went with a series that only has an NES game and GB game on the 3DS.

Here is the reality:
Shinya Takahashi, General Manager of SPD confirmed that both 2D/Third Person Metroid and 3D/First Person Metroid were both franchises Nintendo planned on working with in the future.
The distinction lies that Sakamoto is the IP Manager of 2D/3rd Person Metroid and Tanabe is the IP Manager of FPS Metroid.

Not the Metroid I want, but probably the one I deserve

But again, why Metroid? Fire Emblem is a bigger game for Nintendo right now than Metroid. Or how about Kirby? Kirby consistently outsells Metroid. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, IIRC, is still doing well for Nintendo, so they could say Donkey Kong. Metroid has almost no presence compared to other, more popular Nintendo series. In both examples of the page's appearance, we see (collectively):
Mario (Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7)
Pokemon (Pokemon X/Y, Pokemon OR/AS)
The Legend of Zelda (OoT3D, MM3D, ALBW)
Animal Crossing (New Leaf)
Super Smash Bros. (Smash 3DS)
Metroid (...Metroid and Metroid II?)
Metroid is, by leaps and bounds, the least significant to the 3DS at the moment.

They remember Metroid,
I still see it. Everyone is overreacting. I have Metroid, Metroid 2, and Metroid Fusion on my 3DS, so the statement is correct whether there's a new 3DS game in the works or not. As for the RetroStudios Twitter, they're working on something, that's for sure, but even if it is Metroid, this statement does not allude to it.
He said they are thinking of what to do with Metroid, not that they are working on it. Probably he thinks about it when he is in the restroom.
It was not even Miyamoto:
Thanks guys. I didn't need a reason to drink tonight but it's nice to know I have one now.
