While DS owners are anticipating Metroid Prime: Hunters and playing the unique Metroid Pinball, it appears development on that platform's 2D Metroid Dread has been cancelled. While it's true that the game's only previous hint of life was a pre-E3 list, and it never even made it there, fans were still looking forward to a side-scroller running on the relatively powerful DS hardware. With the GBA reaching end of life, and the Prime series landing on a handheld, will there be any room left for an old-school Metroid?
