I bet it's a 3DS game hehe
Another 3DS Metroid game...that's 2D wouldn't make people that upset.
I can upset people. And it'll be in tune with Nintendo's thinking towards Metroid.

Another breakthrough and one step closer to the Nintendo Kart so many are clamoring for.Retro's game being Metroid Kart Racing would elicit an interesting response...
Kotaku asked Miyamoto which style of Metroid he preferred: 2D or Prime? Miyamoto said he liked them both, and that future installments were planned for both types of games. The Prime game was Federation Force (lol).

Stephen Totilo, Kotaku: The following is the conversation [from June 2014] I just had about the series with Shigeru Miyamoto, who runs Nintendo's EAD development group, and Shinya Takahashi, who runs Nintendo's SPD group which oversees everything from Smash Bros. to the new Amiibo project to...that series with the female bounty hunter who can roll into a ball...
Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo: The original creators of Metroid and the director who was the director of the Metroid Prime games who worked under me when I was producing those both now work for Mr. Takahashi, so you'll have to ask him.
[You'll notice that Shinya Takahashi is credited as the General Producer for Federation Force, not Miyamoto.]
Shinya Takahashi, Nintendo: So it has been a while since we released the last one and we're having discussions internally about what we can do next. So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them...
Totilo: I'll get back to that in a second, but which of the two styles do you guys like better? The 2D or Metroid Prime?
Takahashi: I like them both. They both have a different style of appeal.
Miyamoto: I have the New Super Mario Bros. series [for 2D], so I like Prime. I think there's still a lot of new things that could be done with the Prime series.
Totilo: Okay? So Metroid and Samus haven't been just relegated to Smash-roster status, nor does it seem like either beloved style of Metroid game is being relegated to history's dustbin.
You've been here for a long time, you should know that "insiders" hinting stuff without outright telling is not cool and could possibly end up in a ban.I suspect the Climax part isn't going to be what makes people angry.
We were born to suffer.These Metroid rumors are killing me. Why would we be angry?!

If you've got something to say, say it, or else you'll just come off as the 100th attention whore.
Yes, people like to forget DKC Returns sold more than the Prime series combined. Even Tropical Freeze, hobbled by the Wii U, outperformed two of the three Prime games (including 3 which was on the red hot Wii)
Probably not honestly. DK has never been a good franchise, and I think the cool reception to TF was reflective of this.
Federation Force 2, here we go
Hm.
There's varying degrees of accuracy in here, but probably the most inaccurate part is calling SMD anyone's good friend.
Okay, let's keep in mind this is 100% rumor and no one should hunt for heads if it doesn't pan out.
About a year and a half ago, I was told Nintendo was working with a British third party on a Metroid title. At the time, it was nascent and had either not been greenlit or barely started pre-production. I made some hypothetical lists with some other people about who would make it, and Climax was on that list. I was pulling for Sumo Digital or even Ninja Theory to some extent, but Climax seemed a solid bet.
Like...a week ago, I was talking about the Rabbids leaks with someone and they mentioned Metroid by Climax. We talked some details, I talked to some other people who said they had heard the same thing from other sources, etc.
I suspect the Climax part isn't going to be what makes people angry.
Again, Brandon's game discography runs the gamut of genres (and after Retro hired an artist from Naughty Dog to work on Donkey Kong I'd figured we'd be done with this whole "based on this ONE previous project from the new hire, we can totally guess their new games tone!" game), he's local (which makes him more favorable to someone working long distance), and he's done work as an audio engineer and converting music to lowerend systems (we dont even know if he's working there as a composer, just that he's working there). Theres nothing you can really piece together from what the project is going to be based on the statement "Alexander Brandon is working at Retro", the dudes career is not one note enough for that.
"He did Deus Ex and Unreal so this next game is going to be dark!" has as much weight as "He's done a lot of music conversion, so he's compressing David Wise's Tropical Freeze soundtrack for the 3DS!" or "Hes creating sound effects/additional tracks for a new Donkey Kong while David Wise composes the majority of the game"
Also my dude, your post is three lines long not an essay there is no reason to bold anything to catch my attention, im going to see it.
they are going into a E3 reveal clean, with no pre-leaks, not even rumors. astounding for a western dev. in this day and age
Deus Ex is my favourite PC game Soundtrack§.
I don't think they could hype me more with this decision.
Brandon composed most of Deus Ex, but UNATCO is a Michiel van den Bos piece.
Another Metriod disaster? What are you alluding to? Hinting about?

Let's see if he comes back lol. Posters know by now, like someone else said, don't leave stuff like that and just leave. We went through that for over a year with the NX.
Because it's supposedly a 3DS game, or at least started as one
No. You read too much VG Chartz
You assume incorrectly. This was already addressed and corrected by another poster pages ago, but in your rush to drop some condescenion you flew right by it.
I forgive you.
We're going to get a Metroid game where you're a true bounty hunter. Multiple targets, different planets. Something like how Prey 2 would have turned out years ago.
Okay, let's keep in mind this is 100% rumor and no one should hunt for heads if it doesn't pan out.

Why speculate on it being 3DS whenit could be mobile

... so, let's speculate, what about a Metroid game would make us angry? Federation Force 2? Other M 2? Samus talking too much? No Samus at all?
how much time do you have?
think of everything that doesn't make it Super Metroid-like or Prime 4 and Switch-only.
Metroid diehards are some of the worst, most whiny babies (pun fucking intended) in the wider complainosphere.
I'm always excited to see what Alex is doing next. I've worked with him several times in the past and he always delivers.
Many months ago I too heard of the Climax rumor but with one difference: they are only providing assistance with development.Okay, let's keep in mind this is 100% rumor and no one should hunt for heads if it doesn't pan out.

A good Metroid-themed multi-FPS + gaf meltdowns? Sounds like a win-win to me ; )... so, let's speculate, what about a Metroid game would make us angry? Federation Force 2? Other M 2? Samus talking too much? No Samus at all?

Ohh yes the juicy details. Climax with assistance.Many months ago I too heard of the Climax rumor but with one difference: they are only providing assistance with development.

Hmm so where does this take us now? Retro doing a new IP and Metroid and they needed some assistance with Metroid.
Many months ago I too heard of the Climax rumor but with one difference: they are only providing assistance with development.
Yeah. Certainly don't take my comment to change any thing. The info could be wrong, but I just wanted to expand on his comment a bit. It'll be pretty crazy if the Climax rumor ends up being accurate.The Climax Metroid rumor has been shared by a lot of people, though like Alberto said that doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate.
However, as for Retro, I'm gonna stick by my never believing any Retro rumor rule. It has served me well in the past.
And especially don't believe SMD's Retro rumors.
