The Story Of Doodle Jump: Brotherly Love And Digital Snacks Don’t get too excited. It’s just the Metroid preview channel, turning up a few months late because…well, Metroid is turning up a few months late.
Oh boy! To celebrate the release of Metroid Prime 3 in Nintendo’s lesser territories next week, Nintendo have gone ahead and put Super Metroid on the Virtual Console. I’d say that’s fair compensation for the game’s late release on PAL consoles, but then, we’re getting Super Metroid late as well so… I won’t. Ah well, it’s here now, and for 800 points you can go see what all the fuss is about.
That Metroid Dread rumour? The one where Nintendo were meant to be working on a new Metroid handheld title? And which was supposedly alluded to in Metroid Prime 3? Yeah, no. No dice. Seems there was a cock-up in the game’s creative process, and something that was dreadful but not in any way related to any possible Metroid handheld games made it into MP3. Game director Mark Pacini: We actually had a fictional element of something else in the game that by a large coincidence could be read that we were giving a hint about “Metroid Dread” which was not the case. It’s a complete and utter coincidence.
Glad that’s sorted. Kind of. See, they go on to make a complete mess of that explanation, stumbling over all kinds of comments like “That’s all I can say on it”, which will no doubt serve as further fuel for the faithful’s great fire of handheld hope.
