As reported by Tendobox, Metroid was once again mentioned/asked about/hinted at at today's Nintendo press conference. Quoth the Box:

In Nintendo's press conference earlier today, Nintendo let loose the implication of an upcoming Metroid game. During the Q&A session when prompted about it, Mr. Arakawa replied, "Not this season."; followed by some direct smiles to Peter Main, which led to an awkard silence filled with smiles by both. Despite not releasing any further information on which platform we might see on, it's at least a sign that Nintendo knows Metroid is in demand.

And as reported by Daily Radar's Michael Wolf:

...Neither Arakawa nor Main had an answer to a question posed regarding the state of Earthbound 64, although when Arakawa asked Shigeru Miyamoto if he had an answer, the resident Nintendo genius declined to comment. In the same vein, when asked about the possibility of another Metroid game, Peter Main stated that although Nintendo would love to use Samus as a character again, Nintendo isn't ready to announce a Metroid game at this time.

Guess what? We get to play "wait and see" some more. SIGH.
