I could wait 7-8 years if we get another game the same quality as Fusion.

I agree it's a matter of time. I'm hoping for a 3rd person 3D Action Adventure Metroid set after Fusion, and I'm probably the only one.

Gimme a spot on dat der train!
I agree. People are acting like it's dead. It hasn't even been that long since the last game.

Metroid didn't have a Nintendo 64 game, but that certainly didn't make the series dead; the games that followed that particular hiatus were among the best, if not the best, in the series.
They aren't going to make a high budget Metroid game for Wii U after the bomb that was Other M. Not enough time has passed for them to take a chance on a new Metroid, especially not on a struggling home console like the Wii U. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there were no more high budget Wii U games announced from this point forward. It just doesn't make any sense.
3DS is our best bet for a new Metroid game. Think NSMB or LBW, but for Metroid.
it's even weirder to consider that we are as far removed from twilight princess now as twilight princess was from ocarina of time when it released.
A 15 year wait between entries sounds pretty gloomy to me.
Well the previous game was a massive bomb on all fronts, and the series has been in sales decline since Prime/Fusion. That doesn't sound optimistic for the future, particularly with Sakamoto indicating that he will not be returning to the franchise anytime soon.

Pokemon's release dates get me harder than Zelda's. We're now farther from the firered/leafgreen remakes than the remakes were from the originals.

Watch Pokemon Tekken, or whatever that Lucario thing is supposed to be that everyone is saying is Pokken, turn into Urban Champion X Tekken.

Yeah I think it is. I know that the Financial results is on the 7th, and then the Investors one will come some time after. Great. I almost forgot about it. We learnt about the E3 Nintendo Direct during last years one, yeah? I wonder what kind of goodies will come from this one.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
metroid still gets tons of promotions, its not like they forgot about the series or anything, it still gets alot of shoutouts by nintendo themselves for it, you people are making it worse than it is.
I'm honestly very surprised to see how many people think it's a fighting game. It's pretty clear to me that it's a new Stadium/Battle Revolution type of game.

Maybe this year we will be spoiled again by the Lanyard about the games that will be playable on the booth.

According to GF that wasn't an actual game.

Look at those games in plain sight!
Best case scenario, just replace WiiU Metroid with 3DS sidescrolling Metroid that makes great use of the 3D for depth: moving diorama.
Yet they trademarked Pokken Fighters. I believe it's an actual thing in development at Namco. That fits with Nintendo's current strategy of cooperating with other companies to create games for their well know IPs (Metroid and Team Ninja, Zelda and Tecmo Koei, Smash and Namco). I think Iwata himself aknowledged this modus operandi in the investors' metting (or was it financial?).
If Pokken Fighters even ends up being something it will probably have nothing to do with the thing he was talking about. That honestly didn't even look like a fighting game and the explanation they gave made sense.

Because to me it seems dodgy as hell, if anything it reinforces my beliefs.
Also to you this doesn't look like a fighting game?

A new Pokemon Stadium would be great. One as good as 2, please.

It looks like a normal Pokemon game and according to GF its just a look at what Pokemon could look like in the future(which makes snese given that it was shown at the end of a timeline video). People just assumed that it was related to the Pokken Fighters trademark because of how close we saw the two and how it looks it looks like a console game graphically.
To me it looks like how a mainline pokemon game could look on future hardware. I can totally buy it as just a concept video or a future Wii U game. But the camera angle is definitely the typical pokemon battle angle. In fact that kind of 3/4th camera angle isn't even good for fighting games.
It's not in a stadium though, it takes place in the streets and they chose two humanoid pokémon to show, nothing cute or weird.
I suppose that wouldn't be the way the camera is placed in the game, in fact you can see it is circling around them in the gif, probably to show the models and stage from multiple POVs.
Besides versus fighters are something Nintendo always lacked, having a Pokémon versus fighter would do wonders for WiiU and Nintendo in general.

Oh no, I was going to write an explanation on the things that felt similar to me from the trailers, but I can already feel history rewriting itself to account for me not having played either MH3 Wii or xenoblade for "5 minutes".
Either I get lucky and when history is repaired, I'll have invented a machine capable of creating a time dilation field and be rich, or forgotten everything about both, as I've not played them for even an hour, apparently.
Damn.

Other M flopped because it was a horrible game. Though Metroid Prime bombed too iirc and the WiiU's install base is really low, Nintendo has done crazier things like Sin and Punishment lol.
In fact I think this could be the perfect opportunity to reveal a new shiny Metroid game.

Would be really GREAT if the 2011 Japanese Garden tech demo turned out to be a title in development!

There is a slight air of mysteriousness to it as when questioned who made it Reggie wasn't allowed to say, but was kinda grinning the whole time. At the 6 main mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7jk-O-RETk#t=357
We know from the sonic boom reveal that even after a while - what looks like a tech demo can be a title that no one was expecting (and is well known!) It was shown at GDC 2013 as a cryengine tech demo.

metroid was never super popular. the top-selling game in the franchise is either the first metroid or metroid prime at 3 million units. everything else comes in between 1-2m units or slightly less.
i feel that the expectation for metroid on console would be to have it be sakamoto taking cues from uncharted again with its dumb cutscenes and unlikeable characters, and that a handheld version of the game would allow for a smaller game, similar to how a link between worlds was fine being a classic 2d zelda.
why? the wii brand is dead so why put energy into turning it around? nintendo had their chance not to fuck things up and we are now about 3 years removed from that time.

Geoff: "Who made them demo...? Wetrow..?
" Lolit's not a direct but a 'digital event' at 9am pdt. the difference between that and a direct? who knows. they're also running/streaming interviews about demos all day every day at their booth.

Pokken Fighters, and Pokken Tournament got trademarked, not long after this clip was revealed. Ken means fist in Japanese. You can see a fist in a logo in the background. Both pokemon are in fighting stances, with clenched fists. The backgrounds look like something that suits a fighting game, not any stadium game ive seen before. You can see a short barrier, preventing the pokemon from leaving the area. As in, that'd make more sense for a fighting game, then a stadium game, where you can't move the pokemon on your own.
The camera angel is irrelavent. If they were to have the typical fighter camera view, it'd reveal that it is a fighter. I'm sure they didn't want to give things completely away.
Iwata has spoke about doing collaborations with 3rd party developers. Namco has been close with Nintendo and developing games.
I'd actually be surprised if this wasnt a fighter, and the trademarks that were filed never came to be anything.
I mean renaming the console to something else (with or without the word Wii in it), repackage it with a different look and kick off a new marketing campaign. It will definitely add more confusion to certain degree but considering how the mainstream still sees Wii U as a peripheral it's a risk worth considering.

I was about to edit, but...
That logo in the background with the fist, also has a crown on top of the fist, as well as a pokeball underneath it.
So Pok(pokeball/pokemon)ken(fist) Tournament(crown) sounds like it fits that logo well.
