So they said that last night, a few hours has to be in the morning, lol, right?
This from the IGN Tweeter page:
Muramasa hands-on and video on the Wii site. Tune in at 10:00 a.m. PST for our next big exclusive. We think you'll like it. -- @mattign

DAMNIT the excitement is killing me! Too much goodness, and its only MONDAY!
Now they've got be wearing my hype running shoes. (I'm still not gonna get a ticket for the hype train just yet.) Let us see...
@Bentendo
At the time of posting this, that'd be in 1 hour and 30 minutes (it's currently 11:30 AM EST).
@Blk_Mage_Ctype
I doubt it's gonna be Retro announcing Prime Trilogy since we already know about it (I'm pretty sure the guys at Retro are very aware that IGN already unveiled it, since IGN is a big name website).

It could always be Metroid Prime Trilogy announced for Europe...it wuld technically be surprise news.
You guys seem to be forgetting that Nintendo owns Retro Studios... it's impossible for them to partner with Microsoft.
@KillerHeroes
I thought Metroid Dread never really existed. Wasn't it nothing more but a rumor that was only kept alive by the fans yearning for a new 2D Metroid? (I just saying.) I mean, I'd love a new 2D Metroid as much as the next guy, but I have a feeling that if another Metroid game is announced anytime soon it's not gonna be done by Retro (they said that after finishing up Prime 3 they want to take a break from the series, and I'm not sure if we can really say Prime Trilogy is any sort of indication that break is over).
@Tagg
This guy speaks the truth. Nintendo owns Retro completely so it wouldn't be like what happened to Rare (the Stamper brothers owned 51% of Rare and they sold it to Microsoft when some problems arose, which effectively made them a Microsoft owned company just buy how much of the company Microsoft owned, so Nintendo later sold their 49% of Rare to Microsoft since they figured it's be kinda useless since Rare couldn't develop for their home consoles anymore [now Rare can only develop for Nintendo's handhelds]). Only way Microsoft will ever own Retro would be if Retro did something to tick off Iwata badly enough to sell them, but I don't see that ever happening since Iwata is a bit more level headed than Yamaguchi.

"Finally, we are pleased to announce the next installment in the Metroid Franchise.........On the Xbox 360!!!"

Come on, show me what you've been doing since Prime 3!! I'm preparing for awesomeness...don't let me down 
If the news is about the Metroid Trilogy, then I will let loose much fury.
They need to branch out.
@Eternal Rain
I believe you mean Yamauchi. It hasn't been that long has it.

It's 10:50 over here, I'm not sure if that's Central time or what. It's Texan time 
So I think the IGN update should be up in just over an hour.
Also, going by Matt's choice of words: "exclusive" "we think you'll like it", it probably means it is a new game. Or Red Steel 2 because we haven't had a hands-on with that game since it was announced.
What do you think?

@Dr_Peace
Ah, thanks. I keep forgetting how to spell the guy's name, and as a kid I always read it as "Yamaguchi" because I heard a name similar to that on some old anime.

I have IGN's live coverage stream rolling, as well as several twitter pages refreshing automatically - ITS E3 BABIEZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!11111
I don't think it's going to be a Metroid game.
And Metroid Dread DID exist. Atleast that is what I choose to believe. I think everyone should have a belief system of some sort, and Metroid Dread is mine. Developed as god intended by the remnants of R&D1.

I hope they do something new, but at the same time their older projects weren't very interesting. I hope the experience of Prime helped them.
oh god, now I'm hyped...
oh god, now I'm hyped...
So... apparently it IS true and it is NOT Metroid related. Project started before October of 2005!!!!!
Now I'm a little excited.

Are you sure it's really an official twitter account?
Why would they use wallpapers from fansites?

I don't know. It was something I'd like to hear.
Of course it probably isn't even Metroid related. But "pleasently surprised" doesn't sound like a whole new title to me, so maybe it is some Metroid variation.

Yep, it turns out it's just the E3 trailer for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (the first trailer showing the game with the English cast). Deux will probably have it posted soon. (it's a pretty awesome trailer.)

Guess Retro meant wait until Tuesday or something? If Retro's got some news it's probably not gonna come until Tuesday.

Retro Studios is fully owned by Nintendo making them a first party developer. Whatever game announcement they have, it will be on a Nintendo system.
Whoa! Factor 5 AND Retro Studios are developing Kid Icarus: Return of the Angel! Yes! 
I am actually surprised no one has thought of the most excellent game Retro worked on back the days of 'Cube...a game that was most definitely NOT Metroid, but rather...
CUSTOM ROBO!

surprise is always better
i wish i didn't read that
still waiting for metroid trilogy in europe confirmation
although it certainly isn't retro decision, and they probably didn't even touch the games themselves
