In Nintendo's E3 press conference this morning, NCL president Satoru Iwata showed off the Nintendo Revolution console and revealed some details about the upcoming system. "Next generation versions of Mario and Zelda are already underway," said Iwata, leading into a brief video clip of Samus Aran and her newly-redesigned ship. "We also have big plans for Metroid in our Revolution, a franchise that has evolved constantly with each appearance. And with Revolution, Samus will take you places you've never gone before." The clip ended with a large numeral "3" filling the projection screen, probably implying that Metroid Prime 3 will be a Revolution title.

Although over 700 upcoming titles have been made known at E3 already, and both Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime Pinball are on the list, there's still no word of the rumored "Metroid Dread."
