Whats stupid about the whole thing with the games being too close to each others release date is that Nintendo Japan is happy to release SMG2 and Xenoblade a couple of weeks apart, both big games which both probably take 30-40hours or more to complete.
Its great they wanna polish Metroid up, its just sad we are having a Nintendo-lite year on the wii, and at this rate I doubt we will see Zelda this year
