Well, not really, morse aside the second screen is pretty unintrusive.
I have a more interesting idea. Announce just one thing: a Direct.
The most bizarre Nintendo should do at these moments is put another PG exclusive that's not Bayonetta3
We have the Scalebound revival by Nintendo. There's still the Halo games coming to Switch many swear by (not related to Platinum)
Okay you guys ... i have my well-earned nightly sleep, only to wake up to read stuff like ... a ... Super Metroid ... remake?! Y'all do this on purpose when i sleep, right? The leakers know i would get angry with them.
Being serious again ... Super Metroid doesn't need a remake. I just played through it again recently on the Switch SNES stuff, and it's still great. If you want to "remake" this game, update the controls to be a bit more streamlined, and re-release the game as it was back then and is now. Same for Fusion ... the best remake is simply a re-release and be done with it.
Let MercurySteam have a shot at a new 2.5D Metroid game, either a follow up to Fusion, or some in-between game for the existing ones.

Damn I would love a Metroid Fusion remake. But getting that atmosphere right in a remake is probably an impossible task.
I'm a little disappointed if it's another 2D Metroid remake...it's almost 2 decades since a new 2D Metroid.
First post in the new thread, right in time for the Game Awards speculations now that it's approching.
Also team january for the Direct. I don't think they would wait until february in order to release more infos about Animal Crossing.

Yeah, I don't really see the need for a Super Metroid remake. The original title has aged excellently and it's been easily available on Nintendo systems for the last 13 years, since Virtual Console launched. It's been available on Wii, Wii U, 3DS, SNES Mini and now Switch. I'd much prefer to see a new 2D Metroid.
Anyway, LeakyPandy doesn't have a great track record, do they? Hit and miss, I thought? It's a pretty easy prediction to make and one that a number of us have been making for 12 months or more. Prime Trilogy HD makes a lot of sense and is surely only a matter of time; some sort of 2D Metroid following on from Samus Returns in 2017 makes sense and was first rumoured in 2017; and obviously Prime 4 is the one confirmed Metroid title we have.
So I'm really not sure on the veracity of LeakyPandy or their sources, but the idea we're getting 3 Metroid titles in the next 2 to 3 years isn't that far-fetched and it's what I was already expecting. I'd just prefer to see Metroid 5 over Super Metroid HD.

Yeah I'm calling bs, no need for a Super remake, Fusion too if there's a GBA Online coming (no rumour just assumed at some point). Metroid 5 or bust!
Are people still being delusional about Metroid ?
Like "insiders" have basically been saying that it will be announced at every single event/direct for more than a year, and it never happened.

I think it's weird that Nate replied to the Pandy tweet saying "it was just a questipn whether the 2D Metroid was a remake of Super or Fusiom, the ending of Samus Returns hinted at Fusion"
Did he even 100% the game?
There was the whole picture gaölery of X-Parasite stuff you unlocked, but the Sequel hint was the Evil Chozo picture you got after you collected all of those and unless they change stuff in the remake there is no evil Chozo ever seen or hinted at in Super or Fusion.

Yeah, the ending of Samus Returns was more about unlocking the dead end they built in Fusion, to allow them to make Metroid 5 or similar.
There's nothing "hinting" at a specific game already existing.
I think people are reacting to the leakypandy rumor because Nate quoted it on Twitter and said that based on the events of Samus Returns the only question would be if the next 2D Metroid is Super Metroid or Metroid Fusion.
This is confusing people because everyone assumed the next 2D Metroid, which we knew for a while now is in development, would be a new entry in the series.
I expect one, but after the general direct.
Unless they do multiple specific directs, they tend to do a specific direct close to the release of the game, like one month before.
Like maybe he knows more than us because he has inside info or something like that or he did just didn't look at all the unlock 100% rewards, but from the unknowing public's point of view only going off that 100% tease it was definitely a hint at Metroid 5.
And I just don't want another remake.
Yeah Nate Drake just seem to think that Samus Returns hints at Fusion's remake, doesn't seem to know more than "a 2D Metroid has been in dev for Switch for some time now"
Honestly I'd really like a Super Metroid remake. Some of the set pieces would look incredible in 2.5D, and you can't play SM too many times. Plus a SM remake now doesn't preclude a Metroid 5 in the future. In fact a SM remake could help build the fanbase.
Man I don't want any more Metroid remakes. Fusion and Super still play absolutely fine, and a lot of what constitutes as modern 2D Metroid was cemented by Super. With Mercury Steam's excellent work on Samus Returns I'm hoping this is all nonsense and they're working on an original 2D Metroid.
I really hope that the success of Link's Awakening didn't send the message that going forward we want to see as many remakes as possible. While I don't mind occasional remakes for games where it makes sense I want to see new entries for games like 2D Metroid or 2D Zelda because the last new entries in these series, especially Metroid, was a while ago.
Speaking of remakes, especially ones that are pretty much just graphical with some QoL, Mother 3 would be a slam dunk.
The artstyle for LA remake is pretty much a perfect fit.

Links Awakening just released. It has no impact on whatever 2D Metroid they started developing a couple years ago.
Remakes do not bother me as long as they are good AND don't prevent Nintendo from developping new games. For exemple we can hope that the commercial success of Link's Awakening will help Nintendo to release a brand new 2D episode of Zelda before the end of the Switch.
Metroid is a bit different since Super Metroid is absolutely great the way it is and Fusion did not age bad either. However, a port of Samus Returns would be interesting. The game was good and nobody playyed it on 3DS.
MPT + Samus Returns HD ports would be just fine before MP4.

I remember last year.
Watching TGAs all the way through, believing beyond a shadow of a doubt that we'd see Metroid in some form... Even Reggie wearing a Metroid shirt.
Then, it ended. No Metroid.
I questioned a lot of things that day, but I'm ready to be hurt again.

Baseless speculation follows:
The problem with Metroid 5 is that the premise set up in Fusion is a little too good. Actually, scratch that. It's WAY too good. Samus has absorbed both the Metroid and the X powers? Galactic Federation may consider her hostile now? The most understandable ally of hers is actually based on quite a prick? (Okay, M:OM injected the last one, but still.) This sounds incredibly exciting! But not to Nintendo, precisely for the same reasons it does for me. I actually don't remember any Nintendo developed game with such an ending right now; everything that comes to mind is return of status quo plus minus relatively minor changes, or everything getting calmer.
If they're actually remaking Super Metroid, I wouldn't be surprised if it started as Metroid 5 pitch, but then someone mentioned the story and they couldn't fit the Fusion ending in, so they threw out the 5.

Reggie wore a Metroid shirt while taking a picture with Geoff and Wolfgang Puck lol. I swear it felt like he lead us on so hard.
Yeah, that was pretty painful. The worst part was, I was watching the game awards with a friend who wasn't in to Metroid, and the whole show I was like "This is it, here comes Metroid." After every new reveal, I knew it had to be coming. Then goddamn Joker drops out of nowhere, and said friend, who is a huge Persona fan, loses her mind while I lie on the ground in anguish.
I tried to play through Super Metroid for the 2nd time in October. Probably made it about halfway through, or more, but just couldn't find motivation to finish and I kept getting completely lost and wandering around. I last attempted to play it back in 2014 or so on the Wii U. I definitely made it further this time.
Yeah. I had told a buddy of mine that Metroid was a lock.
His "lol" text after the 3-4 hours watching the show was heartbreaking.
