In the February 1999 issue of Gamers Republic, there is an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, and the following Q&A exchange is contained...

GR: What remaining 16-bit sequels might we see on the Nintendo 64?

Miyamoto: Well, Metroid, although I am not the Metroid producer. Whenever I come across the opportunity in a company meeting, I try to suggest it.

...Miyamoto goes on to say that Fire Emblem and Kirby are also future possibilities, but I found it promising that he mentioned Metroid right off the bat. It's quite obvious that NCL is fully aware of the demand for Aran.
