Nintendo’s Eguchi is sure that Metroid will appear on Wii U
A couple of Nintendo franchises were represented on Wii U at E3 last week. New Super Mario Bros. Mii was available to play in prototype form while Zelda was on display in full HD glory. Metroid, however, was absent, aside from a few nods in Battle Mii.
But just because Samus wasn’t in action at the show doesn’t mean that she won’t be starring in an adventure on Wii U. Nintendo’s Katsuya Eguchi seems quite confident that the franchise will show up on the console.
Eguchi told Kotaku:
“I can’t give you any details now, but I’m sure there will be a new Metroid release making use of the new controller, not just to control Samus and her ship but also to give the player a new source of information. Maybe the player is looking at the screen but has the information that they need to defeat the enemy in their hands.”
It’s kind of strange to hear Eguchi talking about Metroid since he hasn’t really been involved with the series. If Yoshio Sakamoto was at E3, perhaps he would have provided more insight!
