I honestly think Metroid will beat Pikmin to the 3DS, as they are already releasing a Pikmin on the Wii U and Metroid needs to make up for the stinger that Other M introduced upon the world.
I really do hope Metroid gets a proper revival, if I've read my sources correctly they were still thinking of implementing ideas from the Dread project or something
Looks like a storyline's gonna be a given though :C
Pikmin on a handheld, ehhh it works so well with the Wii remote it doesn't make sense to me to have it on the 3DS. Although a 2D or 3D Metroid I'd welcome. Although I wanna see an HD Metroid game on the WiiU because it'd look sexy. :3
Metroid has already been done on a handheld before so I could see it done. It'd be great to see something like the original Metroid games in 3D. About Pikmin, well why not, but I highly doubt it'll happen anytime soon.
It'd be nice to see both get new games but considering that Pikmin doesn't really do spin-offs and it has the third coming out shortly, I'd see a Metroid coming first.
Seeing as there is another Metroid game on the GB, I'd expect it first. I can't really see Pikmin coming to the 3DS just because he's gonna be on the Wii U.
