	Games - Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread is a Metroid video game in development by Nintendo. It is believed to have been cancelled, but this appears to have been contradicted by reports from both IGN and Nintendo of Europe.

History

Dread was first announced in the June 2005 issue of Game Informer, and further details emerged on the magazine's Internet forums. According to the forum moderators, the game was a 2D side-scroller being developed for the Nintendo DS, and its story was set after the events of Metroid Fusion.

On September 19, 2005, IGN reported that Dread is indeed in development but will probably not be announced for some time. Nintendo had neither confirmed nor denied its existence.

On October 7, 2005, the Nintendo-Next website reported that the the project is dead, but did not reveal their sources.

On February 17, 2006, the British Official Nintendo Magazine included Metroid Dread in their "Official Release Dates", listed under November 2006, albeit as 'TBC' (to be confirmed). However, on March 16, 2006, in the second issue of the magazine, the game was marked with a vague '2006' release date, although ONM highlighted the ambiguity surrounding the game, and suggested to wait until E3 2006 for some more concrete information.

On March 23, 2006, the website N-Sider reported that the IGN editor Craig Harris was asked about Metroid Dread, and his response was that it was too early to show at E3 in 2005, but that it would be shown later this year. This lends credence to the possibility that the game has not been cancelled, and that this could have been reported falsely.
