C'mon. Was Metroid Prime 1 that bad? No, it was excellent. But then nobody here said it WAS bad... *checks posts* Yep, nobody said it was bad. All I said was I preferred sprites to polygons in 2D games, Kohta said they didn't like NST's MP Hunters... that's about it. Lots of NST bashing though

I'm guessing that Retro will stick to Metroid and cause Metroid to become...sorta...second party...does it even work that way? Yes, it can work that way... for example, Donkey Kong was technically second-party under Rare for ten years. However, like Intelligent Systems, the makers of 2D Metroids since Super, Retro Studios is a fully owned subsidary of Nintendo, and thus first-party.

Er, sorry to say this but, I've never heard anything about Metroid Dread. Can any of you people fill me in about it?

Nothing really to fill you in with really. On an old official list of games scheduled to be shown at an E3 a couple years ago, Metroid Dread showed up as a DS game. It was the only game on that list not shown at the event, and hasn't been shown or mentioned since.
Except, potentially, this little nugget in Metroid Prime 3.
EDIT From Wikipedia:
-------------------------------- Metroid Dread was first announced in the June 2005 issue of Game Informer, and further details emerged on the magazine's Internet forums. According to the forum moderators, the game was a 2D side-scroller being developed for the Nintendo DS, and its plot follows the events of Metroid Fusion.[2] On 2005-09-19, IGN reported that Metroid Dread is indeed in development, but would probably not be formally announced for some time.[3] Nintendo had neither confirmed nor denied its existence.[3] On 2005-10-07, the Nintendo-Next website reported that the project has been canceled, but chose not to reveal their sources.[4] On 2006-02-17, the British Official Nintendo Magazine included Metroid Dread in their "Official Release Dates", listed under November 2006, albeit as 'TBC' (to be confirmed). However, on March 16, 2006, in the second issue of the magazine, the game was marked with a vague '2006' release date, although ONM highlighted the ambiguity surrounding the game, and suggested to wait until E3 2006 for some more concrete information. On 2006-03-23, the website N-Sider reported that the IGN editor Craig Harris was asked about Metroid Dread, and his response was that it was too early to show at E3 in 2005, but that it could be shown later that year. This lends credence to the possibility that the game has not been canceled, and that this could have been reported falsely by Nintendo-Next. [5] The game failed to make an appearance at E3 in 2006 or 2007, although this is not necessarily an indication that the game is indeed canceled. Matt Cassamassina, when asked about Metroid Dread in a podcast on the August 24, 2007, mentioned that "a wink to the fans" about the game was in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, although he clarified that this was by no means a confirmation of the title. This was later explained as an in-game message in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (by scanning a panel within the Pirate Homeworld, in the research lab) stating "Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion."[6] --------------------------------

I'd actually like to see a Metroid game set on Earth or something. You know, not in space? Or space station? That would be (IMO) a change for the better.

For some reason I don't think we will ever see Dread. Albeit not that name anyway. I feel that the metroid series is far from over with the conclusion of the Prime trilogy though. I'd actually like to see a Metroid game set on Earth or something. You know, not in space? Or space station? That would be (IMO) a change for the better. I prefer the spacestations mainly because of the futuristic aspect and the atmosphere. I wonder does earth even exist in the metroid games?

Earth is either destroyed, or the human population moved to other parts of the universe.

3D Metroid games were great, thought I prefer 2D old good Metroid, Fusion, super MEtroid and the other GBA one were great stuff...
hope we'll get another one soon!
