Bubble Bursting time again:

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/09/26/...ime-exclusives/

To spell it out for ya:

MTV: What’s the story behind the apparent reference in “Metroid Prime 3? to “Metroid Dread,” the rumored but never-confirmed 2D game some fans hope is being made at Nintendo?

Pacini: “It’s not what you think it means… it was something that was overlooked and wasn’t in any way indicating anything about the handheld game. We know no information about the handheld games.

MTV: Are you suggesting that you got in trouble or something?

Pacini: Not at all. 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.

MTV: OK.

Pacini: That’s all I can say on it.
coincidence my ass.
Sorry, but there is no damn way that anyone at retro or nintendo would just coincidentally make a message about "progress on metroid dread" without knowing that everyone who's interested in metroid has been looking for hints of Dread for years.
No, it's not a coincidence, that is complete and utter bullshit.

It of course could be a prank to tease metroid fans, but I like to think some godly writer at retro sneaked in a secret message for us

The 2D Metroid games on the GBA are some of my favourite handheld games of all time.

Actually, I think the first one is my number 1.

I think nintendo were working on it when prime3 was in production but it got canceled and they forgot to remove it. They've probably got most their developers working on wii fit and brain training 3

Nintendo would have to be absolutely retarded not to make another 2D Metroid. I believe one will eventually surface.

I'm not sure that sounds reasonable... If they had the time to scrap a whole game that was "near completion" then couldn't they have removed a small easter egg?

was it ever at near completion? don't think so. pretty easy to forget about a small easter egg like that when you're trying to get your game out.

don't get me wrong I want 2D metroid just as much as you guys do. I just don't know why nintendo would put the easter egg in then formally retract it unless the game was canceled.

What you were speculating was that the easter egg was true but they scraped the game and forgot to take out the easter egg. If the easter egg was true, which you were implying, then according to the easter egg it's "near completion."
