Presenter Hints at 3DS Metroid Reveal

Could Samus be making an appearance this Wednesday?


Nintendo's to announce its plans for the 3DS launch across Europe and North America this Wednesday – and the host of the European event has hinted that there could be a few surprises in store too.

UK TV presenter Jonathan Ross confirmed through his Twitter account that he'll be fronting the European event at Amsterdam this Wednesday, where it's expected that Nintendo will nail down pricing and date details for the release of the 3DS, prompting a flurry of queries from his followers.

"I don't expect you to spill anything, it's nice to have a surprise" wrote Twitter user darrenkerwin, "I have my fingers crossed for Metroid..", to which Ross replied "I think you're going to be pleased then..."

Jonathan Ross has got previous when it comes to leaking big games – the former BBC star brought the first news of Fable III via his Twitter account back in 2009.

The idea of a Metroid game on Nintendo's new handheld is a tantalising one. One of the Nintendo DS's showcase titles on its debut was a bite-sized demo of Metroid Prime Hunters, a game that in its full-fat form went on to bag a 9.0 on its release in 2006.

A further Metroid game – Metroid Dread – was planned for the original Nintendo DS, though the Intelligent Systems-developed adventure game never saw the light of day. Could it be due a reveal this Wednesday? We'll be at the event and will be bringing you the news as it happens.

Thanks for the heads-up, SuperWilliamLeonard.
