Tilmen from Tilmendomination has heard from a source that there’s currently a Metroid game in development for the Nintendo NX and it’s heading to the system at launch this year. Tilmen has heard that we will see the first trailer at E3 2016 and a special announcement on August 6th (30th anniversary). I think if this is legitimate then it’s safe to assume that it is being developed by Retro Studios who haven’t produced a game since the brilliant Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze in 2014. I guess we shall find out for sure at E3 which takes place in June this year.
Thanks, Tilmen

This rumor BETTER be true. Zelda isn’t the only 30th anniversary we’re celebrating. Metroid is also 30 years old.
While it sounds so fake, I hope this is one of the few rumors that is true. Seriously, PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE
I don’t think it sounds fake at all. The last Metroid game we got was Other M for the original Wii. No doubt there has been a main series Metroid game in the making for quite some time now, as Nintendo is not going to just abandon one of its core franchises. If it doesn’t release this year, It will no doubt release next year.
It’s not the idea of a new Metroid that sounds fake. It’s the fact that this is just a guy in his room whispering at the mic. It almost sounds too noobish to be true
Yeah, the WiiU will sadly be the second console with no Metroid game.
[Side Note] I believe there are a lot of cancelled WiiU games because NX will be taking them, a Metroid game is one of those.
Thought about that too, Pikmin 4 probably being an obvious one.
it is still April so.. April fools!
Does anyone ever look back at Project Cafe rumors? They’re pretty bizzare.
Yeah right. Nintendo working on Metroid? If true good. But I doubt it.
Of courses their working on Metroid. Like every core Nintendo franchise, main series games takes anywhere between 4 – 6 years to develop. (unless it’s a sequel where they can re-use assets.) Since Other M released in 2010, that would put the new Metroid game right on schedule. The timing of this rumor is no coincidence.
To be fair, we’ve been getting a “Retro is making a new Metroid game” rumor every fucking E3 since Tropical Freeze. And before that too, if I recall correctly.
What gave you the idea that it takes 4-6 years to develop? The only thing that legitimately takes 4-5 years to develop are Zelda games because they’re huge, free-roaming worlds. Most other AAA games take 2-3 years on average, Nintendo’s included. Doesn’t matter if it’s a sequel or from scratch.
The producer admitted that it would only take them 3 years to make a new Metroid, but also inadvertently saying they haven’t even started it yet. So there’s no way we’re getting a Metroid game this November if they haven’t even started:
“If we started for Wii U now, it would likely take three years or so. So it would likely now be on Nintendo’s NX console”
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-17-next-proper-metroid-prime-would-likely-now-be-on-nx
Again, and for the last time:
Kensuke Tanabe is the producer of the Prime series. Sakamoto oversees the whole Metroid series. Just because Tanabe said they’re not working on a Prime game doesn’t mean a Metroid game is not in production.
If Sakamoto is working on a new Metroid game, hopefully it’s one to retcon Other M. I love the stories he gave us in Super, Fusion, & Zero Mission so I want to give the guy the benefit of a doubt & hope he redeems himself. I just hope he keeps Anthony’s appearance & personality, though, since he was one of the best things that came from Other M. That & I did enjoy the Ridley going through a metamorphosis subplot from something that looks harmless to something extremely dangerous. Speaking of metamorphosing from something cute to something evil & dangerous, I seriously need to get Gremlins 1 & 2 on Bluray!
To be fair, Sakamoto only have us Fusion (a slightly disappointing entry) and Zero Mission (while it’s a damn good game, it’s also a remake). Super was mainly Yokoi’s (and Sakamoto’s wife’s, oddly enough) input. Anthony can stay, don’t know about Ridley. That seemed to be more of a one-game thing, considering how out-there the idea is.
Actually he didn’t say it would only take them three years to develop a new Metroid. He said it would AT LEAST take them three years. At least, meaning a minimum of three years. In reality it would probably take them 4-5 years to develop a new Metroid game from the ground up. And I can assure you one has been in the making for a while now. And he didn’t inadvertly say anything. These people are very careful especially when speaking to the media. All he did was confirm that there was not a Metroid in the Wii U’s future. They are not allowed to speak about any future games that are currently under development, so even if he was working on one he would never in a million years tell a media outlet.
That is the creepiest video I have ever watched about Nintendo content. This guy has some serious problems and due to the way he made this video I do not trust his information AT ALL! What a weirdo! People like that need to be banned from the internet due to spreading rumors that they made up in their creepy minds! That prediction is something everyone made so its not like this guy is using any facts on his own! HECK, I did predict to all my friends Metroid NX will launch with the console and my predictions actually have never been wrong! It is just when weirdos do a video like this they hope to state the obvious and gain credibility as a result and he has done NOTHING to gain credibility! So if there is a Metroid NX as a launch title, give the credit to me; Tetroy64
the only problem is that some people think this guy is a dumb ass but i’m not saying he is, i’m saying that these rumors might be real or fake.
lol @ Tilmen
Wow. That was a pathetic grade school comment.
-||What if it’s Tilmen trolling Sickr?||-
well then i knew this is gonna happen but i think i believe the case that these’s rumors might be fake depending how some people believing about these’s rumors. they could at least give us more info about this and more proof to prove that this metroid NX might be real but i’m sure but whatever the guy is saying on the video, i’m really not sure about this because some people won’t believe this rumor.
Any Rumor with Metroid in it is fake. Retro Studios sick of Metroid. They don’t want to work on Metroid. They want to do something else. They chose Donkey Kong for a reason.
I’m not saying it as a fact. The only fact is Retro Studios chose Donkey Kong for a reason. The reason they said is they felt they had more work to do with it.
Or they felt that Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze would sell better than a Metroid title would. If the Metroid Prime games would’ve at least sold 5 to 6 million a piece I think Retro would be breaking their backs to make another Metroid title. I think it has more to do with profits than Retro wanting to venture to other projects just because they’re bored
Everything is not about sales. They made 3 Metroid games. I can’t say this for sure but seem like they want to signify a new franchise that is not already established. Monolith Soft would like to work on something other than Xenoblade as well. They too may be working on something different other than next Xenoblade.
Where was that stated? Because as far as I know, Takahashi only said their next project will be different, not part of a different franchise. In fact, he even mentions that the Xeno- name is going to be used to encompass the different games he works on, making it a Final Fantasy-type of franchise.
See: http://time.com/4149809/xenoblade-chronicles-x-director-tetsuya-takahashi/
http://www.gamnesia.com/news/the-next-game-from-monolith-softs-takahashi-isnt-a-xenoblade-ti
Here is the link. I would have posted the direct area but on my phone. I think it is in the 3 or 4 paragraph.
The way I see it, their next game is going to have Xeno- in the title just by virtue of being a Monolith game, but it will not be related to the -blade games in any way. I could be wrong, but that’s the impression I get, and it fits Takahashi’s MO.
It could be an another Xeno title game. Sometimes developers just don’t want to be that they make one certain type of game. They would want variety in their cataloge.
Sure. I mean, Xenogears, Xenosaga and Xenoblade are all pretty different from each other, but they all fall under the Xeno- umbrella. I’m all for different, variety is hardly ever a bad thing.
Didn’t Takahashi once say having Xeno in the names of his games is his way of saying this game is a Takahashi production?
That he did. It’s a kind of signature.
The chose DK for 2 reasons:
1. They made 3 Prime titles in a row.
2. They had leftover ideas from Returns that they wanted to include in another game.
Those two reasons are moot now. It’s been quite a while since the last Prime was made (almost a decade now) , and a lot of Retro’s staff has gone. There are lots of new faces that have only worked on Tropical Freeze, or maybe not even that. I don’t see how Retro, as it stands now, can use being “sick of Metroid” as an excuse.
They have expressed they want to do something different. That was said before and after Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.
I replied to you with a link, but it seems it went down the drain.Trying again:
From Retro’s CEO Michael Kelbaugh, March 3 2014:
“You’re not going to find a larger bunch of Metroid of Metroid Prime fans than at Retro studios. We’ll be lucky to someday, maybe, work on another one. There’s a lot of people in the studio left over from Metroid Prime that are very passionate about Metroid… If the fans keep asking, then maybe we’ll answer.”
http://www.usgamer.net/articles/interview-the-secret-of-donkey-kong-countrys-redemption
All I could find about Retro wanting to use a different IP was Liam Robertson’s speculation about what Retro could be working on. He wrote he doesn’t think they’re making Prime 4, but doesn’t write off another Metroid title.
So that’s where the other IP came from. Sorry, I recant my other IP wording since I like to use only facts. Thanks. Links always helps.
No problem. There’s enough missinformation surrounding this title as it is, so I try to back my statements about it with official sources whenever that’s possible.
Forgot to add: Miyamoto also went on record to say that the team at the head of Nintendo’s list of candidates for developing a new Metroid game is Retro. Between that and the previous statement, I can see the possibility. I don’t think it’s what they’ve been working on, but it would explain a couple of things, like the Federation Force fiasco.
Unfortunately, I agree
Thank you.
-||Yes but they chose DK for that time, not forever||-
-||Although I’m not saying that they will be creating Metroid games again||-
Yes that is true but they also said they want to do something different as well. It could be another team Nintendo want to give Metroid too.
-||Indeed, I’d like Retro to do Ice Climbers or F-Zero||-
Yes, please, a new Ice Climber after 30 years, taking the classic NES game and completely revamping it- as drastic a change as Uprising was for the Kid Icarus series.
Then let’s see Sakurai leave them out of the next Smash because they “have no future.”
No cuz then he’d just say they “aren’t popular enough!”
Rumor: Will these rumors EVER stop?
Once the NX is revealed, console rumors will stop but game rumor will go on until the next new hardware.
They’ll never stop. Some people just want to be spoiled and ruin it for everyone else.
Inb4 enhanced version of Federation Force.
Even worse, the Federation Force Soldier Joins Smash NX’s roster.
Lol! XD
Honestly, as long as it continues the story in an acceptable fashion from where Metroid Fusion left off, I wouldn’t care if it looked like Wind Waker. Actually, seeing a noir-ish, sci-fi game represented in cel shading would be pretty hilarious; it would sort of remind me of Invader Zim.
-||…||-
It will probably just be an enhanced version of Federation Force tbh
Metroid is a great game to show the muscles of your new hardware and Retro had a new project on the Wii U that probably got cancel and brought to NX… so yeah, this rumor can be true and makes total sense to me but it still a rumor and don’t you think Nintendo is actually testing the water with FF? trying to understand if the Metroid saga can sell well, so what’s the point in make such a huge investment, in a new high budget game, before even understand if the saga has the right numbers and a wide enough public…
If that is the case, another fail for Nintendo! You shouldn’t decide the fate of a franchise on a damn spin-off’s success. *gives a moment of silence for Chibi-Robo which was a victim of this stupid plan*
If this turns out to be true, and it’s a real Metroid experience with all the required elements, we go back to pre-Other M Samus, and no cartoon chibi-style graphics, I can *somewhat* forgive Federation Farce. Somewhat- the chibi style is still a cardinal sin.
Agreed. But not likely
-and you still ignore the fact Federation Force would probably not have worked well with realistic graphics. 3 huge, fully detailed mecha suit models, full size?
You’re out of your mind. Even the graphics of Xenoblade Chronicles had to be dumbed down for the New 3DS, and that was a damn Wii game.
Protip: if the fundamental design is flawed, maybe the game is not worth making at all.
Then it shouldn’t have been on 3DS to begin with. 3DS gets EVERYTHING; it’s the Wii U’s spoiled cousin. Hell, former Wii U-exclusive Hyrule Warriors got ported to 3DS much to the chagrin of many Wii U owners, including myself.
And the 3DS, or at least the New 3DS, could undeniably do more realistic graphics without sacrificing much in performance- just look at Smash for 3DS, capable of running at a silky smooth 60 FPS with very few drops, and with very good graphics to boot.
And Xenoblade’s graphics were not cut down by too much- it still looked decently realistic, still beautiful, and most importantly, still played very well despite its world size on a small cartridge.
So yes, FF could have been made with more realism; more importantly, it could have been made to look like what Prime is, because that chibi style? That’s not Prime in any sense of the title.
God, I hope not. I feel like Im the only one smart enough to see how garbage the Metroid games are. The absolute worst platforming, the Prime games turned into the worst FPS ever made, migraine inducing music and poor controls no matter what system it ends up on. And I honestly do not see whats so appealing about taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back; progress for a few minutes, get stuck at a roadblock, backtrack for double the time to go get a new item to pass the roadblock, go all the way back to said roadblock, repeat untill over.
And I swear to god if anyone says its because they like the story, theyre fucking lying. Metroid doesnt have a story, dont act like it does.
-and most people would call you a moron, and for good reason.
Also, what makes you think you’re some authority on what makes good platforming, story, music, etc?
Don’t even pretend you are.
-||Xbot, go home||-
Metroid Prime isn’t an FPS game and shouldn’t be judged as one. Perhaps you should understand the subject matter before you insult it.
As for the music, well if electronic music isn’t your thing then I highly doubt the music in MP will appeal to you. But saying it’s migraine inducing, especially the beautiful ambient sounds of Phendrana Drifts only shows that you’re a very sensitive strange individual.
“the Prime games turned into the worst FPS ever made”
It probably has something to do with the fact that they are not your average FPS games. That’s like saying Super Mario 64 is the worst brawler ever made.
Besides, I don’t think you’ve played many platformers if you think Metroid games are bad at it. There’s a reason why Super and Zero Mission have such an active speed-running community, those games are tight as hell.
Oh, you mustve misunderstood FPS. I meant First Person Scanner! Silly me.
Also, the platforming isnt anywhere near tight, its floaty as fuck and the walljumping makes me want to smash my controller with a mallot.
Well, people who actually know how to play videogames disagree. There’s not much you can use to support your argument, history disagrees with you.
Other than that, you should look up the meaning of floaty.
you are funny :) you probably also believe zelda’s 10 second looping songs are the best things out there
You do realize that is how ALL Metroid games are structured, right?
I’m guessing you only played Prime 2 Echoes, easily the worst offender in the backtracking department, but still a very good game nonetheless- just ask Quadraxis here. They all have backtracking.
And yes, many of us liked the story simply because of how much or how little you wanted to gain from it thanks to the scan visor. Want to play with no background on the game’s story (save for imperative tidbits like the artifact locations in Prime 1), or scan everything and dive into the intriguing lore of the world around you? Your call, do as you please.
I pray to God this is true but it sounds it’s too good to be true. I mean a new 3D Mario title, Zelda Wii U port, Smash Bros Definitive Edition, and a new Metroid title? All at launch? I want to believe this so bad but I can’t just yet……Nintendo gotta show and prove this news because I would be mad as fuck if I get my hopes up and believe this and then be disappointed
Rumors are never %100 true and you shouldn’t believe them until they’re officially confirmed/proven wrong. Nintendo has much more important things to deal with then going around and debunking every fan rumor that pops up.
Oh COME ON, this rumor is the one that hurts me the most!
Here we go again.
People are only going to be disappointed by this.
Worst of all is, I’m excited already.
Also, if it turns out to be true (and if you trust Tanabe), don’t expect it to be a Prime game.
Sounds fake as hell. Who would be making it?
unless retro is making metroid 5
it may be true, it may be BS.
this rumor comes from tilmen, the guy who says “do not support amiibo garbage” and in this video i see he owns a samus and a zero suit AMIIBO GARBAGE.

weeks ago he told me you are lying, he is not a xbot
-||He is what I say he is||-
It’s fake. The Metroid producer himself said no other Metroid was in the works and that it would take at LEAST three years before another one was ready for reveal.
No PRIME game.
Tanabe said that, and he’s only the producer of the Prime games. He can only speak about that series in particular. Sakamoto (Metroid’s producer) didn’t say that no Metroid game is being produced, only that he has no personal interest in developing such large titles as of now (he made Tomodachi and Miitomo). For all we know, a Metroid title might be in development, but it’s a safe bet that it won’t be Prime 4.
I hope so, but considering the internet’s track record of rumors, I’m not holding my breath.
I may not have had the best time with Fusion, but I’ll gladly take a new side-scrolling Metroid after 15 years to get the bad taste of FF and Other M out of my mouth.
#MetroidDeservesBetter
I’d kill for another side-scroller. Zero Mission is probably my favorite game ever, and I’m biund to end up loving a more up-to-date version of that.
Other M the hope: it’s going to reinvigorate side scrolling Metroid in 3D! Other M the reality: why, god, why!? Why did he make this abomination!?
Ugh! I made way more comments on here than I intended! Then again, I am a huge Metroid fan so of course I’ll go above & beyond what I intended! Come on, Sakamoto! Redeem yourself from the tragedy that was Other M & give us a reason to ignore Federation shitForce even further with a true Metroid experience!
