I just want to throw in something I've heard about Metroid 64, so that I know I haven't missed anything:

I've heard that the game may not be a Metroid game (that is, feature the metroids or Mother Brain) but rather another adventure starring Samus. While I really wanna see a floating, pulsating, 3D rendered metroid flying around, I can understand why they wouldn't want to continue with the metroid storyline--after all, this is Nintendo's "dark" series, and while Bowser can kidnap Princess Toadstool over and over and it's acceptable, I guess they can't keep bringing the metroids back.

HOWEVER...(and I thought this part up all by myself ^_^)...the Metroid games were very loosely based on the Alien movies, right? Well, the new Alien movie (the fourth) is called "Alien Resurrection"-- could the new Samus quest be "Metroid Resurrection"?! Hey, who knows!! ^_^

Finally, I just want to say that since Nintendo has NOT officially announced a new Metroid game for the N64, very little information is available. Don't bother emailing or calling Nintendo for info about Metroid 64, as they will deny its existence (they're good at that) until they decide to go public with it. All info about its development comes from other sources and may or may not be accurate--but hey, it's all I've got!! (I'm jealous of my friend Niels right now, who has plenty of news on Zelda 64 to play with! When's it gonna me MY turn, Nintendo?! ; )
