>the Metroid minigame in Nintendoland >Metroid StreetPass

Metroid was almost certainly never considered dead internally at Nintendo, but prior to this E3, the last real Metroid game came out 7 fucking years ago.

And the last good one was a few months shy of a decade ago.

>Can we all admit that Metroid was never dead and we were just overreacting?
Yup, everyone was overreacting.

F-Zero is the only truly dead Nintendo IP.

That's what I was telling you fucks from the start.

I believe it was coming too, I even stated multiple times Sakamoto and his group was making a 2D game that wasn't pixelated, but everyone just thought I was a lying idiot who was just a delusional faggot.

Metroidfags are almost as bad as x-menfags

Truely

It was dead in the sense that we've only gotten mediocre titles for like ten years and the fact that nobody acknowledged its fucking 30th anniversary.

Actually, it was technically acknowledged in Miitomo.

Not the greatest, but at least it's better than radio silence.

metroid was like schrödingers cat
it got some support but nothing really as great as it used to be
alive and dead at the same time
we got a short peek inside the box and the cat seems to be alive but we can not say for sure yet
