How do you know NINTENDO isn't being *that* secretive? It's just a DS game, you never know.
Not just any DS game. This is Metroid we are talking about!

2D Metroid. :-O Well...you get my point.

When I said "It's just a DS game" all I meant is that it's not the same as releasing a big game for the Wii or anything.
Indeed its not a Wii game. But still, if its going to even live up to the expectations of Metroid then the game has to be in development for a while. They cant just rush it because its a DS game.

Which is why if Dread comes to be, I'd expect it next year.
As long as there's something, I'm willing to wait.
Wasn't there an official announcement that through that rumor down?
i havent seen anything, ya got a link
Yes, I posted it somewhere.
I believe its in one of the recent Metroid Portal posts.
so no metroid ds game in development or plans to do one???
Nope, not by the sounds of it.
But I'll definitely be keeping my ear to the ground just in case.
oh well that sucks :/
*Sticks ear on ground to see what hes talking about..* *Hears loud sounds..* *Notices.. ITS A TRAIN :O AND IM ON THE TRACKS*!!! NOOOOOOO SWOOSH! Splat..
