Nintendo has an event scheduled for this week in both Europe and North America to reveal the 3DS and its launch date, price, etc. in those territories. The European presenter, UK TV personality Jonathon Ross has tweeted, hinting that a Metroid for 3DS might be a part of the festivities.

Replying to a tweet from a reader to Ross hoping that Metroid would be at the event in Amsterdam, Ross replied, "I think you're going to be pleased then..."

The 3DS is already putting gamers in a tizzy, and the inclusion of a Metroid 3DS title would only bolster a software lineup that is impressive.

Awsome, hopefully we can get this series back on track!

Listen Nintendo don't put Metroid on the 3DS. I am already going broke and if you release this ,along with everything else already announced, I will be forced to sell my kidneys to pay for everything.

That would make it a buy for me!

Please let it be true. One of my two favorite video game franchises. Tied at the top of my list with Mass Effect.

Lets' hope so. Could it possibly be Metroid Dread? You gotta believe.

metroid lives!

I love how many games are coming out for the 3ds. I hope it's not too expensive.
by Blackhawklz Monday, January 17, 2011 at 11:49 AM

I sure hope this is legit, because the 3DS is shaping up to be one of the best console launches.

Other M 3D?
by Ghostpig Monday, January 17, 2011 at 11:53 AM

I guess it would be a bit nincompoopish for me to hope for a new 2D Metroid on a 3D system, eh?
by Orlando Villanueva Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:01 PM

I would mess up my pants...

Does a bear take a crap in the Woods??? Of course they are. Nintendo has 10 games and they rehash them all the time. They do it on every console or device they have. Metroid, Mario kart, Donkey kong ,Zelda, Super Mario bros, golden Eye they will all be on the 3DS.
by Ryan Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:05 PM

OMG!!! Just one more month, one more month and I will have the cash to go and reserve my 3Ds.
by Daniel Jacobsen Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:12 PM

I hope it has 2D gameplay at least. 3D character models and effects is fine though.
by Elfstrum Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:16 PM

3D is cool, but I still wish Nintendo would use a more powerful chip-set. But then again the Wii uses the gamecube stuff and it sold like hotcakes
by f00gers Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:18 PM

So, it would look like Shadow Complex?
by Mike Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:19 PM

If Team Ninja is still collaborating with Nintendo, I hope they learned from the mistakes made on "Other M."
by Nomari Monday, January 17, 2011 at 12:29 PM

Yes another one.

This just cracks me up. I'm sitting here watching the Xbox 360 go casual, with a ton of kiddie games launching right behind the Kinect, and at the same time I am watching Nintendo go core again. With a ton of core games for the Wii and 3DS. I guess they switched roles again.
