The rumors were true: Metroid Zero Mission is an all-new 2D game for the Game Boy Advance! Early screenshots revealed by Nintendo show a very classic-style Metroid adventure, devoid of the twists found in Fusion and looking more like Super. Also, both the screenshots and the first piece of official Nintendo art for the game show Samus wearing her original Power Suit -- not the version with the beefed-up Varia shoulders featured in Metroid II and beyond -- which, along with the title of "Zero Mission" and the very original-Metroid-looking blue and gold logo on the game's title screen, indicates that this game may very well be a prequel to Metroid 1! Old-schoolers rejoice -- this one looks fun!!

Hopefully, more information on both Zero Mission and Metroid Prime 2 will be revealed as E3 2003 rolls on this week.
