Liam Robertson of Unseen64 fame has once again uncovered something interesting. In a video published on Nintendo Life, he reveals that Spanish developer Mercury Steam, who worked on the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, started working on a first-person Metroid game for both Wii U and 3DS. Samus was the main character, but you were also able to play as seven other bounty hunters. Supposedly they pitched this prototype to Nintendo but were turned down. The current state of the project is unknown, though Liam believes that they stripped the Metroid IP from the project and instead turned it into a new IP.
Obviously none of this is 100% confirmed, but Liam Robertson has a pretty good track record when it comes to uncovered info about cancelled games.

Nintendo has provided GamesBeat with a statement concerning this month’s NPD report.
According to the company, Wii U software sales in the U.S. have risen 10 percent through the first seven months of the year compared to the same period in 2014. That’s largely thanks to Splatoon, which is now sitting at almost 540,000 units sold in the region. As was announced last month, the game has sold close to 1.6 million copies worldwide.
“Much of [Wii U’s software] growth can be attributed to Splatoon, which inked nearly 85,000 total units in its third month to bring its lifetime total to nearly 540,000 total units in the United States alone. As of June 30, the game has sold more than 1.6 million total units around the world.”
Nintendo also shared the following regarding 3DS hardware:
“Through the first seven months of 2015, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by nearly 35 percent over the same time frame in 2014.”
