Talk:Metroid Dread

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

This is the talk page for Metroid Dread.
Here, you may discuss either the subject or discuss improving the article.

  • Be polite
  • Assume good faith
  • Do not insult other people

So basicly, it doesn't and never existed. Then why does half the article (such as Release date: TBA) say that it's upcoming/canceled? Wiismartey 22:24, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metroid Dread

No, I disagree, Metroid Dread was mentioned in Corruption and Nintendo wouldn't have let that pass under their noses for no reason. Now the big question, how did the metroid and the Sa-X survive in order to make a sequal to Metroid Fusion?

That unfortunately was a joke by the developers. It really ticked us Metroid Fusion fans off though. MarioGalaxy2433g5 23:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Also when did it say the Sa-x survive? MarioGalaxy {sysop-bureaucrat} My talkpage 21:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
If I recall correctly, a piece of the space station containing Metroids were released into space. For all we know, that piece might have crash landed somewhere, or retrieved by Space Pirates.
If it crash landed, it would have probably blown up killing the Sa-X and the Metroids. If the Space Pirates get it... that would be really bad assuming the Metroids don't kill the Sa-X by then. MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 20:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Do you suppose that SR388 survived? The extremely bright explosion doesn't necessarily mean that the planet was vaporized. Perhaps only half of the planet was rendered uninhabitable; the half of the surface containing Samus's original landing site from Metroid II. But of course, this is just wishful thinking. Armantula513 03:12, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

First off, the section that broke off exploded. Second, SR388 probably went boom (because that was the point of destroying the station). MetVet

You guys are forgetting one form of possible return of the Metroid species. The theories of the jettisoned metroid lab and/or SR388 surviving aren't completely accurate. However, there is one thing that occurred in the events of Metroid Fusion that you guys have overlooked: the strands of Metroid DNA infused into Samus. Don't forget that, while the reasearch lab and SR388 have a minimal chance of return, Samus got out of the station unharmed (well, maybe not unharmed, but at least alive...), and she still has the strands of Metroid DNA inside her. If someone, or something, was able to extract the strands of Metroid DNA from Samus... Well, you get the picture.

see Forum:My idea for Prime 4. It's missing a step between fusion and it but it does address some of the points you've mentioned. Metroidhunter32 12:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Shouldn't this be taken off the game template (or at least moved to a new sub-section on the temple, like cancelled?)

Why was all that info deleated. Metroidhunter32 00:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I think user 96.250.226.90 deleted all of the Metroid Dread info. For what purpose, that is unknown. What is behind the reasoning of those sinister vandals among us?? Armantula513 05:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

They want attention. That is why you don't want to give them much of a reaction. MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 21:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

True, true. But they seem to be magnetized to this page for some reason. Maybe because it's such a controversial subject? Eh, I don't think anyone who's not a member would even think to look at this talk page. They might just enjoy the idea that they're fooling somebody into believing false info. But, that's just my hypothesis. Armantula513 21:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Due to points brought up here, I have permanently semi-protected the page. --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 02:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Upcoming this year.....?

Does anyone still have hope that Metroid Dread might make an appearance at E3 2008? Nintendo never denied the existence of a 3-D Metroid Dread, so it could either be a side scroller similar to "The New Super Mario Bros.", a 3-D shooter on the DS similar to Metroid Prime Hunters, or a full blown 3-D adventure on the Wii. But there could still be more possibilities, since the first stages of development of Metroid Prime were based around a 3-D third person adventure.

If they fail to show something at this E3, they might just show a remake of Metroid II. It makes a lot of sense since they just finished up the Prime trilogy, and the game really deserves a remake. Any comments, anybody? Armantula513 07:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

That is assuming E3 2008 isn't going to be in a shoe box. MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 18:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's why the world has the gaming media. G4 is going to be getting some high ratings starting on July 14th...Armantula513 22:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I guess not

No new Metroid title has been announced by Nintendo at E3. It truly is disappointing. However, at the Nintendo Press Conference, they did mention some of their major franchises would be receiving new installments soon, and they did show a picture of Samus at one point. If there is something in development, it must not be ready to show to the public. Now we should wait for the Tokyo Game Show upcoming this September. [1]

Whatever is happening to Metroid next, let's just hope that Yoshio Sakamoto (did I spell that right?) has a hand in it. Long Live the Squees! Squeemaster 17:58, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Face it people, Metroid Dread probably isn't coming out. MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 22:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I WILL NEVER ACCEPT THAT!!!!! Metroidhunter32

Don't worry, I took care of the absence of a source. Armantula 513 01:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I meant cite where it says Metroid Dread isn't coming out :P --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs•Logs) 01:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
It was not heard, it was using common sense. If anything, a sequal to Metroid Fusion would probably be released under a different name or something. MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 01:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I think that it would be best to at least express this idea in the article. It's been 3 long years since it was unofficially announced, and we haven't seen so much as a peep out of the game. The absence of evidence seems to be all of the evidence we need. We can't stay in denial for another 3 years, you know. (Unless it comes out by then.) Armantula513[ADMIN] (Talk•Contribs) 08:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

It was going to be made at one point in time. IGN obtained a software list back in 2005 and Metroid Dread was on it. That means, it was going to be made, but Nintendo, A) gave up on it, or B) is being secretive. MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 17:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


If A is true, (And in the possibility that the game is of the Metroid Prime 3 style) then the game must be using revolutionary Wii motion sensitivity mechanics that are sooooo impressive, they must be using secrecy to avoid being copied. (Like when Nintendo was delaying the unveiling of the WiiMote) This is being highly speculative, of course. Not to mention optimistic. Armantula513[ADMIN] (Talk•Contribs)

Or maybe it is a 2 D for the DS and they are trying to keep a ultra acurate angle touch sensitive aiming system secret. Not just straight, straight up, and 45 degrees. Make it so you can fire at any angle. Would that be worth keeping secret? Metroidhunter32 22:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

If it were me I would keep it secretive. That type of gameplay would be a revolution in the Metroid series. Well, at least to me it would be. Piratehunter{ADMIN} (Talk•Contribs) 22:52, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Once samus gets popular like mario (Aim for kids nintendo but dont make it cheesey.) thats when dread comes out.Samusiscool2 13:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

If metroid becomes a kiddy game I abandon the series. I want them to get harder and more adult with every instalment. Metroidhunter32 13:34, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm talking about a toy line cartoon and stuff but the games are still awesome Samusiscool2 16:58, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Stuipid NEW VARIA

Samus was supposedly shown @ E3. What suit was she in?Samusiscool2

It was just her Varia Suit from MP2, 3, & Hunters. Nothing special, you see, but the casual fans seem to like it. Armantula513[ADMIN] (Talk•Contribs) 08:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

WHAT HAPPEND TO PRIME1'S SUIT!!!!!!!?

Why is there a problem with MP2's suit? MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 13:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Prime 1's suit is better. It still has the deep full colors before all the light air brush effects come in. Metroidhunter32 13:55, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Prime 1's suit is more originalSamusiscool2 16:52, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What the?!?

I tried to edit the page and it accused me of vandalizing it! Samusiscool2 22:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I realize what is going on, you typed in a certain word triggering the spam filter. MarioGalaxy2433g5 10+ {talk/contribs/Logs} 22:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

It still wont let me! Samusiscool2 02:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So, it's almost 2009 now...

E3 was a letdown and Nintendo's fall press conference ended a few days ago. Plus you can't expect to hear anything at TGS seeing as how The Big N doesn't like to show it's face there for some reason. Can we officially call "Dread" dead? Sure it may be in developement somewhere, and I don't think we should delete the article or anything, (seeing as how Metroid 64 has it's own article) but I really think it needs to be removed from the Metroid Series template at the end of all the game pages. Plus somebody should add "Presumed Canceled" in the Release Date box. Just a thought.Zabbeth 20:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I would but this account (but not me on wikitroid) is new. 2 days to go. Samusiscool3 03:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


[edit] The Scan

Reading the Matt Manchester blog, I'm led to believe that the artisits had a lot of freedom to write scan dialog. I wouldn't doubt that Retro gets insight into Japan's Metroid workings, but this is starting to seem definatively more like a joke that everyone liked enough to get by.

Maybe someone could ask him?ChozoBoy 11:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] E3 2009?

I recently downloaded Super Metroid onto my Wii, and it resparked my interest in the side scroller Metroids. We haven't had one since MZM! If Metroid Dread exists it will more than likely be a side-scroller. I would really like to see a new side-scroller Metroid, and will be looking all over E3 2009 to find one. Everyone check on 6/5/09!

[edit] VGMaps.com's April Fools' joke: Metroid Dread maps

Seems every April, VGMaps.com chooses maps of a non-existent game to be the Maps Of The Month as an April Fools' joke.

For April 2009, the April Fools' joke is a complete map set of what Metroid Dread could look like. It's a mishmash of Super Metroid and the two GBA Metroid games, but a classic 2D style Metroid game on the DS would probably look similar. There is a brief mention of possible DS features, such as the Scan Visor and first-person interactivity using the Touch Screen.

While it is an elaborate joke by a fan and nothing more, it might be worth mentioning, as the infamy of the rumoured Metroid Dread has led to this.

See the maps of Metroid Dread here: [1]

That might not be a good idea. But at least you asked before hand instead of just posting it on the page like most annonomus users.Zabbeth 17:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sequel to Other M? Or Fusion?

This title sounds ominious, so it may take place after Other M, or (more likely) after Fusion. Just, you know, thinking.--Ridley Kid 01:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
