Metroid 64 was the supposed title for a Metroid game that was to be released for the Nintendo 64. After Super Metroid, many fans were eagerly awaiting a sequel. It was supposedly slated for the Nintendo 64, but while the game was referenced several times,[1] it never entered production, because "they couldn't come out with any concrete ideas".[2]
Metroid Database interview with Dan Owsen
MDb: Finally, Dan, spill what you can tell us about the possibility of a Metroid64.
Dan: Obviously, the guys who worked on the Metroid series are still working for Nintendo in Japan. They love the characters. Many people here at NOA love Metroid (besides me, I know Ken Lobb is a huge Metroid fan, along with probably everyone in the Treehouse, our testing groups and the Nintendo Power staff). So "the love" is there.
I think what it will really take to get a Metroid game off the ground will be some technology or programming discovery for the N64 that would allow for an innovative game play mechanism that can be fit in to the Metroid universe. Beyond all the economic considerations that are always there, I think it just has to make sense, from a game play standpoint, to create a Metroid game. I don't think the developers in Japan just want to make it for the sake of making it. Does that make sense?
