Despite being unofficially canned in November 2005, Metroid Dread, the rumored 2D-throwback project for DS, is back on the radar. New evidence has been uncovered by IGN (and other privileged Metroid Prime 3 reviewers) while scanning a certain panel found mid-game in this week's Wii release. Using Samus's scan visor, the message reads:
"Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion."
Is Dread back from the dead? Maybe -- or perhaps MP3 developer Retro is just pulling an insider's gag. It's time for Nintendo to fess up.

Metroid Dread is currently a legend, it was mentioned at some point as the sequel to Metroid Fusion, a DS side-scroller, but Nintendo never said anything official about it
My guess is that they're just pulling our chain, though. I mean Gruntilda made an allusion to a "Banjo-Threeie" at the end of Banjo Tooie, and that game never materialized on a Nintendo platform, and is still only in a developmental state, many years later and under a different company

Dear Nintendo,
Please officially announce Metroid Dread, so that all of us can pick it up. Also, get off your asses and make a DS remake of Metroid 2 for all those who missed it. I will have played all of your Metroid games if you do.
Sincerely,

don't forget that Dread may be a plotline item .. like the prime from metroid prime ... so Dreads may exist in metroid universe even without the Metroid Dread game
