Question: Is Nintendo making a Metroid 64 game? Answer: Nope. At the last CGDC, I think Mr. Miyamoto told some of the more annoying members of the gaming press that someone at Nintendo Japan was working on a new Metroid game so they would quit pestering him with this question. Wait, would it make a lot of money? Well then, I guess we might be.
