For some the 2-D Metroid Series on Game-Boy Advance have been some of the greatest handheld games ever and needless to say these people were disappointed when Metroid Prime: Hunters was annouced and released for the DS as a 3-D game. And their hopes were further squashed when Metroid Dread, a game found on a list of TBA DS games, was unofficially cancelled. Metroid Dread was suppose to be a 2-D DS game that went back to the roots of the Metroid series. However, there still might be hope for Dread from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Early reviewers of the game have found a mysterious message in a world from researching a panel.

“Experiment status report update: Metroid project ‘Dread’ is nearing the final stages of completion.”

Is this the proof of a 2-D DS game? Retro having fun with Metroid fans? Who knows, really; but, then again who doesn’t love a mystery.
