The Metroid rumour published back in November from another source. Sabi says that the Metroid game is related to Metroid Fusion and is likely to be a sequel.

> Having looked into it for a bit, I find it reliable enough to complete back the mentions of Paper Mario and Metroid (not prime 4) for 2020. I’ll tweet out the details I back based on talks I had.
