GAH! Craziness! In the course of a single week, suddenly the prospects of a Metroid 64 are looking up! An MDb visitor (I dunno if he wants his name disclosed so I'm withholding it) recently wrote the big N an email simply telling them that he'd love to see a Metroid 64... and believe it or not, they responded quite favorably indeedy!! Check out their response:

While a Metroid game for the N64 has not yet been officially announced, it's very likely one will be produced. Keep checking our website for the latest product information, announcements and updates. New information like game announcements and release dates is first posted there! There is an extensive amount of upcoming game and system information throughout the site. If a release date isn't listed in our pages, then it means the date isn't yet known.

...how 'bout that?? "very likely" is a heck of a lot better than what they usually write back-- something along the lines of "there are no plans at this time" or whatever. As I said in the last news bit (see August 7, below), I think that after Zelda is released, we Metroid maniacs should start being a bit more eagle-eyed in our examination of the latest game mags and videogame news websites--I have a hunch that some info is going to sneak out towards the end of this year or early next year. Perhaps the MDb will actually start getting exciting again! ^_^
