Well, Metroid64 didn't show up at Space World like we hoped. Big surprise. However, it was mentioned by Shigeru Miyamoto at a press conference...the incident occurred thusly, according to EGM:

• Did Somebody Say Metroid 64? Yes, Mr. Miyamoto did. When asked if the game was in the works at today's Q&A session at Space World, he replied that right now, the game is NOT in development. He did however say that there's a chance that the game will surface sometime in the not-too-distant future, and he followed that up with a question for the game press: "Would you like to see a new Metroid?," he asked. As you can imagine, the answer he received was a resounding "YES!" from everyone in attendance (EGM included). So it may not be here yet, but I think we can safely say we're one step closer to seeing our favorite female in action once again. By John Ricciardi, Electronic Gaming Monthly

...Oh, those wacky NCL guys. Well, as we should know by now, anything Nintendo says should be taken with a grain or three of salt, but at least they acknowledged the fact that we're waiting for Sammer to return so we can assist her on her next mission.
