E3 2009: Dread Not Dead

In an interview held at the Electronic Entertainment Expo this week, Metroid producer Yoshio Sakamoto answered our inquiry about Metroid Dread, a DS game that existed at one time but mysteriously vanished a few years back. In the interview, he confirmed that it did exist, and that the concept may make a return sometime in the future.

IGN: [Metroid Dread] popped up on an internal Nintendo release list awhile back and we haven't heard anything about it since.

Yoshio Sakamoto: This is quite awhile ago. A few E3s back. I can only say right now that this is Other M, it is not Metroid Dread. But as a concept the Metroid Dread idea does still exist within my mind so maybe sometime in the future I will be able to bring that to you.
