Based on previous statements, it's pretty clear they intend to make more 2D Metroid unless this one bombs spectacularly.
Zero mission flopped, but arguably not "spectacularly", and they didn't make a 2d metroid for 13 years.

You're not gonna get this game on your XBox One, there are more XBox 360s out there so buy that system if you wanna play it!People want Samus Returns on Switch now for the same reasons they want Ultra Sun+Moon on Switch. It's the hot item. They want it on their TV in HD. Limited Games = More Exposure = Higher Sales

Too bad the Switch wasn't the hot item when these games were being developed years ago.People want Samus Returns on Switch now for the same reasons they want Ultra Sun+Moon on Switch. It's the hot item. They want it on their TV in HD. Limited Games = More Exposure = Higher Sales
Sakomoto has been involved in development of every metroid since the 1st one with the exception of prime 2 and 3 and FF(jurys not out on hunters AFAIK)
You have very low trust in him
not really comparable. The 3ds is a handheld, the switch is a homeconsole.
Nintendo calls it a homeconsole.Oh really? I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but your Switch comes with this thing called a "Dock", and the Switch connects to it to display on your TV. But, you can also take it off the Dock, and it will suddenly become a portable console! Shocking, I know. It's almost like Nintendo named the system for your ability to Switch between the two!

Either way, this whole thing has been ridiculous. Sakamoto gave an offhand remark to gameinformer and was being honest. He wants to make more 2d metroid and will if this sells enough.
Nintendo should only release games for systems that are exactly 3 years old.
If they release a game too early, it will bomb because the fans don't have the system yet! See Splatoon 2, it could have sold a million day 1 in Japan if it was on Wii U!
If they release a game too late (say, six years) the usebase will be there but fans will have moved on from that old piece of shit hardware!

The Switch is actually a handheld.
I'm about to take it to the toilet while I shit my guts out. Can't exactly do that with a home console. nice try tho

Tell that to Nintendo then.
I don't remember people complaining about like A link between worlds or some other games not being ported.
The Switch wasn't even a thing when ALBW came out, that's why.
The wii u was a thing though.
Plus the switch wasn't a thing when they started making Samus Returns.
The Wii U wasn't a portable though, you keep making weird arguments.
Most 3DS games tend to look a lot better in person, especially in 3D. Really, YouTube videos and still shots don't do 3DS games any favorsThis game looks ugly in videos and still shots, even when tiny
Does it look any better in person? Because I want to save 3D Metroid, but I gotta know this first

They probably would have complained if ALBW came out on a last generation system.
People complained about Pokemon BW2 on DS over 3DS, people complained about GoW2 on PS2 over PS3. This isn't anything new.
Huh, that's weird, I've never owned a Gameboy Advance link cable and yet I can still play the original Metroid in Zero Mission no problem.It's hilarious when you consider that you miss out on say, additional skins and galleries and even the original Metroid if you didn't link ZM to MP2.
Whatever your personal opinion on it, positioning wise 3DS is not a last gen system. Switch replaced Wii U and 3DS has even recently had a new model, its line lives on as Nintendo's current handheld. As a line it will presumably fold into Switch, but right now it is current gen.They probably would have complained if ALBW came out on a last generation system.
