Topic: Metroid Prime Federation Force (and Blast Ball)

In the grand scheme of things, 3244 is a worthless number.

It's just not a good enough amount of people.

Yeah I know, just a bit of friendly teasing and I found it a bit ironic.

Played Blast Ball a bit today and it was a lot of fun. I do want to try out the story mode. (mission mode maybe?) To settle the argument over this being a Metroid spin-off, I would like to turn things over to Batman.

Batman: "This isn't the Metroid game Nintendo Fans need, but it is the one they deserve."

Thanks Batmam

(Hours later after recovering from fanboy rage)

I came across a screencap from an imageboard (probably 4chan) where the anonymous OP, who may or may not be from the inside, answered questions about Federation Force. With the most interesting ones being:

-Nintendo didn't want to leave Metroid out of the Digital Event so the trailer was added in last minute, which is why it lacks any context in the presentation
-The game is meant to be a spinoff compliment to a true Metroid title currently in development (...!)

While it should of course be taken with a grain of salt, it sure makes the whole thing sound more logical. I can't see Nintendo giving Metroid a 5 year break only to make Federation Force.

I'm pretty sure the phrase goes the other way.

I'm still boggled as to the fact that there's a petition against the game: https://www.change.org/p/nintendo-petition-for-cancelation-of...

Not for this game

Apparently according to the Unseen64 guy on Twitter who always leaks games, there was two other more traditional Metroid for 3DS games that Nintendo canceled before this game.

They were probably bad games if they were canceled.

Metroid has cancelled a lot of games even from way back when. Metroid 64, and metroid dread are what come to mind.

Nope...

I think the game will turn out fine as long as it maintains the whole Metroid style of exploration that has made the series great.
It seems like it will be difficult to have a FPS Metroidvania in 4-person multiplayer though...
If it's linear, it won't be too good.

Change.org is only alive now to feed petitions like these that lack any real reason to be made other than a small disagreement.

The petition has gain 6606+ signatures. It literally doubled since I last checked it.

Reading the comments for this petition I doubt the intellect of some of the people who are petitioning for this.

I wouldn't mind seeing a demo for this game releasing. I feel it would negate some negative press.

So is there any single-player mode attached to this then? It sounds like the main mode is 4 player team based and the other mode is the Blast Ball.

We don't really know.

Being a portable game by Nintendo, it would be extremely unusual if it didn't.

y cant samus break ball?

No girls allowed in the team.

And Adam is not here to authorize it.
