To be honest, Federation Force looks pretty cool. If Nintendo had made it into a new IP, I would be positively hyped. Unfortunately, it's not a very good Metroid game. It's kind of having the same problem that Nuts & Bolts had: good game, poor use of an existing IP.

  • I can't understand why some people want this game cancelled. Sure it wasn't the Metroid game we expected, but at least it shows Nintendo still remembers the series. This is more than what the F Zero series has gotten.

    Cancelling it is too much, but they definitely need to reconsider releasing this as a new Metroid game. After Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. did poorly (unfortunately), this could have been their next big 3DS IP.

    Yeahs1
  • Who at nintendo tought ir was a good Idea using the name of a high profile franchise to this game? If it was called Federation Force and people noticed the metroid prime universe. It would have worked. Now this game has drafged the entire presentation down

    Exactly. Kind of like how Portal and Half-Life are completely different styles of games, but they share a universe.

  • Wouldn't this game sell less without the Metroid brand though?

    Yeahs0
  • Tell that to splatoon

    Based on the response it's been getting, I'd say that it would sell more if it DIDN'T have the Metroid brand.

  • Either way, its failure would be a loss. As a brand new 3DS IP, it could just be a commercial failure and kill Nintendo's interest on making new IPs for the 3DS. As a Metroid spinoff, it could convince Nintendo not to bother with the Metroid series anymore. Still, I don't believe this game will fail.

    Not if they gave it a big marketing push like Splatoon had.

    Yeahs1
  • Maybe it'll be like a Metroid game. Imagine if this game had online. Hunting down enemies with your friends,Kid Icarus style multiplayer combat. Oh it would be sweet.

    Yeahs0
  • Splatoon was a lightning in a bottle. I doubt it would work as well again.

    Yeahs1
  • I think that it's going to be online. And honestly, I think I could accept it as a part of the Metroid universe if it weren't so... generic. Take that Snow Beast level, for example. Why don't the generic tundra to Phendrana Drifts (complete with music) and change the generic Snow Beasts into Sheegoths.

    Yeahs2
  • *why don't they

    Yeahs0
  • I'll just wait and see how development goes. I hope we get new and old upgrades.

    Yeahs1
  • It's like Nintendo just took a space shooter, slapped the metroid branding on it, and called it a day.

    Yeahs1
  • At least when Dinosaur Planet was retooled into Star Fox Adventures they kept the main characters...

    Yeahs1

    Now that I know that Federation Troopers is a set-up for Prime 4, I feel a lot more comfortable about it!

    Yeahs0
  • Super Metroid Strikers. Today's Digital Event was very unexciting. Some of my honest opinions were "Skylander amiibo...hope I can get one of the four that release in America..." "Oh wow. Is this Starfox 64 HD?" "Metroid, one of the most innovative series in gaming, having it's own sub-genre named after it for its open world exploration. How do we capture that? Mission based gameplay, of course!

    Yeahs0
