The $60 price tag seems a little high, but won't stop me from buying one of my favorite games, and enjoying it for dozens and dozens of hours. Now bring on DKC Returns remastered in glorious HD!
At the bottom of the screen at the end of the video, where it says coming 2018. It says 2018. Not 2014-2018. Also says Original game. As well as Hal Labs. Not Team Sora. It's a new game folks!
I think i'm most concerned with whether there will be a headphone/mic jack on the pro controller for online game chat. Although the tablet part was shown having a 3 pole jack being plugged into it in the airport scene.
I just recently sold all of my physical copies to switch over to digital. I figure it will probably be the best shot of backwards compatibility with NX ( I have a feeling NX wont have a disc drive. Could be cartridge or download or both.) I wont be repurchasing my library or new games until Nintendo Account launches. I want those COINS!!!
If Nintendo wants to sell its users a game they need to make the game appeal to its fan base. This game fails on so many levels. First it throws salt in the wound of the fans who have been waiting so long for a main series follow up. On top of that we know they had no current plans for a follow up to the main series. Second it is a multi-player shooter on a handheld that seems to have had the title "Metroid Prime" slapped on and apparently a story that is supposed to bring this into the Prime canon. (although I don't know how much story there will be in an online multi-player game) And finally if that was not enough to sour the fans taste for this game, it not only looks nothing like a Prime game (outside of having first person elements) but they decided to take one of the only dark and more mature franchises they own and kiddify it with a horrible chibi art style. It's like we have been asking for this awesome action figure and when they finally deliver we get something from the Superhero Squad. Don't tell me they couldn't make this look like Prime on the 3ds. Hunters did a pretty good job and that was on the original DS. Imagine Prime asthetics with the graphical detail of say, Monster Hunter 4. It would have been so much easier to swallow that pill.
I'm going to stay optimistic that they learned their lesson with Sticker Star, but my gut tells me otherwise. The game does look beautiful though. Lets hope PM returns to its former glory.
@Wolfgabe I understand that, but I have no interest in this direction at all. Also I just don't enjoy this style of game on a handheld. Same goes for Monster Hunter, I just can't sit there huddled around a tiny screen sinking dozens of hours into a game when my TV is right there.
My problem with Federation Force is that it looks nothing like a Metroid game. The art style sucks and I can not get past that. This would have been a cool idea if it were on Wii U and actually looked like the Prime series.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force is Coming Sooner Than Expected
It's clear they want us to like this so bad, but really didn't offer anything to change our minds. I love Metroid, but can't get behind this game.
