Yep, that's right folks.

In this article by Eurogamer, when Team Ninja lead Yosuke Hayashi was asked:

"Actually for the Metroid collaboration, we had help from Nintendo and they're really friendly with us. But the concept of Dead or Alive as the best version of the game means Samus Aran or Metroid is something different. That's why we are not focusing on that in terms of the concept."
He continued: "So talking about Samus Aran, is she playable or not? This time she's not playable. But Samus Aran will be shown in the game. She comes to help the player. That's the collaboration shown there [in the trailer]. But how you can unlock Samus Aran? Please find out by yourself."

Sad news, indeed. At least Samus will be "shown," but to how much exactly remains to be seen. Let's hope it's more than that quick Morph Ball shot.

In other MDb news, our forum was hacked. The staff highly recommends that you reset your password at least every 6 months, but that is normal practice by internet standards. Please read this thread by Jesse D for more information on the matter.
