I've been skeptical as to what the dev Intelligent Systems has been doing. They're responsible for the high quality IPs that are Advance Wars, and Fire Emblem, but their last release of even a game from what I've heard was a Fire Emblem game released in July of 2010. IN JAPAN. Their last Advance Wars game, which mind you, are ALL incredible games, was in 2008. It's been three years. What in the hell have they been doing? Also, their last game for even the west was a remake of the first Fire Emblem game, which I didn't like. Why not just make another new story?
As for Nintendo on Metroid, the last time I played one on a handheld was in 2004, which was Metroid: Zero Mission on GBA. Ever since the DS launched, I was expecting for Nintendo to make one for the DS, as it (imo) would be a no brainer. But instead, we got Metroid Prime: Hunters, which I thought was decent..But to this day, I have yet to see a high quality Metroidvania like Fusion and Zero Mission. In the past few months, I have played Shadow Complex, and Monster Tale, which are great Metroidvania type games, but I personally think they're just a shadow of what they strive to be. Which brings the question..Why aren't they making one? It's been quite some time.. I've heard rumors in the past, but still nothing.
