new metroid details from ign
 

interesting article on the history of metroid, the storyline of the original games, and the update in progress.

on a side note, i think this game is going to rock!!!

hopefully it will be playable at E3.

I'm not big on FPS, but I love Metroid and if I had a GameCube I would be all over this title. Definitely waiting for Metroid IV for GBA.

Just old news in the article. But I do agree that Metroid Prime is shaping up to be great. It's going to be a great year for Gamecube owners with Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventure, Metroid Prime, maybe Zelda, all the EA Sports games, full Sega Sports support including college football and basketball. :D

I can't wait for Metroid IV for GBA, is this decided yet?

I pass by Retro Studios every day on the way to drop my son off for school. I sometimes get the urge to just drop by and ask to see it in action. Maybe even offer to game test it for them. :P

Oh well...

What do you mean by "decided?" It's been under way for sometime so it's definitely coming out if that's what you mean. All I know of the plot is that Samus "merges" with a metroid somehow and gets new powers.

If you mean release date, that hasn't been announced yet. Maybe at E3. I think there's a good chance of it being playable at E3.

My guess is that it will come out around the same time as Metroid Prime, and that is rumored to be coming in November.

What are you waiting for man, get in there and give us the scoop!! ;)
