Well, there goes my only anticipated Wii U game for the rest of 2015. I'm sure it'll be vastly improved by 2016 though. Miyamoto knows what's best!

Oh how I miss game manuals. I've had a similar source of artistic inspiration with them when I was a young'un; except they were GBA and Gamecube ones. All the Mario, Metroid, and Sonic games from back then had fantastic artwork in their manuals!

Gross. Also its very strange seeing the Prime Trilogy's arm cannon on Samus' Other M model.

Samus' power suit is a redundant choice for a costume. Why not a GF Trooper suit instead?

Too creative I know.

@rferrari24 Why is K. Rool being fat a... problem?

Captain Hook is required by law to be included.

@allav866 I agree with F-Zero fans being worse off. But the sad fact is that Nintendo doesn't seem to think its worth bringing back. Hopefully that will change in the future, as I'm a fan as well.

The main reason why I compare fans is because during the days after E3, I saw so many people belittling Metroid fans who were upset about FF. People saying offhand things like "deal with it", "stop whining", "at least you're getting something", etc. Meanwhile new Mario and Zelda games were revealed with positive reception.

Why are Metroid fans suddenly being perceived as bottom feeders who should be grateful for anything, when not too long ago we had gotten a trilogy of some of the best games in the past decade? That's what I'd like to know.

Metroid has been apart of the "big three" forever; pioneering gaming and setting standards in the industry. Its seems that it could slowly be veering off into the territory of dormant franchises like F-Zero.

Metroid deserves better than that, all the well-known franchises deserve better than that.

@allav866 Well again, Metroid's status as been unstable since 2010. Most just want to see a return to form sooner rather than later.

Spin-offs are fine, but we need another main series entry that wasn't released 5 years ago to compliment it. Something like Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland wasn't released after 5 years of nothing.

I'll give you the petition, that's going too far. But let me ask you this: how many Zelda games (CD-i ones notwithstanding) have been considered "bad", or at least on the same level of mixed opinions like Other M?

Zelda fans have it pretty good from what I see.

@LztheQuack Fine, every other year. That's still miles better than:

2010: Metroid Other M
2011: none
2012: none
2013: none
2014: none
2015: none
2016: Metroid Prime Federation Force

Getting games released at a steady rate is better than nothing at all. Remakes can be great for people who want to experience them again, or for the first time. We could've easily gotten a Metroid II remake, or a collection of the 2D games within that time span. It surely would've satisfied a good portion of fans.

@allav866 Nah man, Zelda fans can be worse. Much, much worse.

Metroid fans haven't had the best of times for the past 5 years. Other M wasn't exactly a stellar entry, cancelled games like Dread and the untitled 3DS game have been dug up, and now the wildcard that is Federation Force is, as far as we know, all that's coming in 2016 with the Metroid name. Can you blame the fans?

Meanwhile Zelda fans flourish in multiple titles every year; something that just started happening in recent years, yet still aren't satisfied...

Can't wait! I've been looking forward to for some time now. Glad to see it won't be unreasonably-priced as well!

I've always loved this picture.

Iwata, Reggie, and Miyamoto were always working hard together, to deliver the most unique gaming experiences that no one else can. Thank you for everything Mr. Iwata, you were a truly fantastic man, and Nintendo will never be the same without you. Enjoy yourself up in Heaven.

Wow... this is unreal.

Thank you for everything you envisioned Mr. Iwata. Thank you for bravely leading Nintendo, and keeping its spirit alive and well through the recent decades. Thank you for giving us amazing games and brilliant gaming systems that forever changed the industry.

You were a one of a kind leader, and a truly great man. We'll miss you Mr. Iwata.

Inafune is no better than Capcom at this point.

All he's doing is tickling people's nostalgia with somewhat-familiar imagery, and delivering a very mediocre product.

I'm so, so, SO sick of Frozen... -_-

All this incoming info would've been nice to hear during the E3 presentation...

It really bugs me that people are telling Metroid fans to get over Federation Force and deal with it.

If there wasn't a Zelda game for 5 years, and they came out with Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, would the Zelda fans "get over it?"

I highly doubt it.

The good news just keeps comin'...

Amiibo will be a touchy issue with fans for a long time, it seems.

Me personally, I love the idea of collecting little statues of Nintendo characters who have never had any physical merchandise before. But my gosh, why can't Nintendo seriously try and fix these stock issues? Its gotten ridiculously out of hand at this point!

I was finally able to find a reasonably-priced Captain Falcon on ebay recently, and he was supposedly released in the US last November?

You need to get it together Nintendo...

Its pretty sad that guy's kids didn't know who Mickey Mouse was. You can't go anywhere without seeing his face on something, like in grocery stores.

@Link41x Here, here! Assault is my favorite Star Fox game!

Well, that's it for me. Assuming the NX will both replace Wii U and be backwards compatible, I'll probably sell my Wii U.

This generation hasn't been very good for the big N. I only have 5 retail games for Wii U after all this time. Aside from Star Fox Zero, the future Wii U releases look pretty bleak for me; its very saddening.

Here's hoping the NX knocks it out of the park, in every respect.

If this game was announced alongside a new "true" Metroid, then I wouldn't have any issues; I'm all for expanding the Metroid universe!

But I think a new main title reveal, along with FF to hold us over would've been the wiser move. Especially taking the 5 years since the last game into account.

But the fact they just released a trailer for FF with no explanation whatsoever is baffling. What kind of reaction did they expect? "Yay its something with Metroid in the title?"

As a big fan of the series; to say I was disappointed from the reveal would be an understatement.

This really wasn't the best title to show following Other M's polarizing reception. I'm sure the game itself will be fun, but this is all we get almost 5 years later? At least Star Fox looks good I suppose...

@MrMario02 Well, obviously.

But "Why?" is what I would've liked to know. Metroid's never gone in this direction before, and we need more than a short trailer to get on board with the idea of playing a Metroid game without Samus.

It definitely could've been MUCH better than what we got.

Too much padding on previously-announced titles, or ones not suited for the Digital Event, and not enough time spent on the new (riskier) ones; especially titles like Metroid Prime FF, which is still rubbing me the wrong way.

It started out amazing with the puppets and Star Fox Zero, then... what happened?

Stuff like Metroid Prime FF could've used some context; like "why did they decide to go in this direction with the series?" While stuff we already knew about got developer stories...

It didn't feel like an E3 presentation overall, just an hour long Direct. WAY too many games didn't need to be in the presentation.

Nintendo, you're better than this!

Looks fun! I love on-rails arcade shooters, hopefully this will be released on Wii U at some point.

Roy? Yawn. (Why does he look like a palette-swap of Ike?)

Ryu? Double yawn. He makes as much sense as a Tekken game with Nintendo character costumes... wait.

Eh, I've honestly never cared for Paper Mario.

I've played TTYD and SPM, but they didn't leave a lasting impression. The art style is cute, but I never liked the "trying too hard to get a laugh" writing the games had. When it comes to Mario and RPGS, I prefer the Mario & Luigi games.

But hey, kudos to everyone who like the series.

I'd prefer sticking to the Assault's gameplay style of switching between vehicles within a single mission.

Star Fox is kinda boring when its ALL on-rails shooting. There I said it.

I'm almost certain we'll see something Metroid-relate announced this year. What I'd like to see is a sequel to Fusion, with new elements like dogfighting and actually hunting bounties. I'd prefer the Prime style, but despite the problems Other M had, that gameplay style was good as well.

I'd take anything at his point. We need Metroid Nintendo!

I want to love amiibo, I really do.

I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to stuff like action figures, but the whole stock issue just puts me off. In fact, it started when I couldn't find Captain Falcon in any stores around my area that carried amiibo, but he was apparently released on the east coast of the US. (I live in the pacific northwest)

I truly hope to see this issue fixed very soon, as I'm never going to buy off a scalper. I have faith in you Nintendo!

Looks great, if not soley because this may be the only legit Star Wars game to come to Wii U. I don't like the fact that if you want to play in both SW eras, you'll have to spend twice as much. I might just buy some of the figurines first.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I know I definitely will. "Jar Jar's the key to all of this."

I'm definitely excited! We're finally going to see a new Star Fox after almost a decade!

I'd really love to see a new Metroid announced too. I'd be squealing like a schoolgirl if a new Star Fox and Metroid would becoming out within a couple years!

@Yellowkoopa That's true. They're already on the right track!

Hopefully we'll see something much better than what we got for the 25th anniversary.

@KodyDawg Ep. III is awesome! It easily outdoes VI with its emotionally powerful climax, and dare I say rivals V with its much darker tone.

When it comes to Jar Jar, I'm a bit of a superfan. (I plan on dressing up as him for VII's premiere!) I've never seen the sheer hatred you commonly witness online for him even compare to how people are IRL, which is barely noticeable.

I consider the SW fandom online and IRL as two different animals. One's pleasant to be around, the other I'd rather steer away from entirely.

@KodyDawg You're not alone friend, I love the Prequels as well. I grew up with both trilogies, and Revenge of the Sith is my personal favorite of the saga.

Fans that are (at this point) still talking about how "bad" the Prequels are might be the ones with a problem, not the movies.

That's awesome news! QUBE was a game I was really looking forward to when it was first announced for Wii U.

I was worried it would never be released. Glad to know it still will be!

What's with the unfitting music in the videos?

Anyways, it looks interesting enough, and nearly anything Metroid-related gets me giddy. But could they of made the game look less... drab? The original Metroid was fairly colorful. Samus is just shades of blue here, while in the original she had separate hair, skin, and outfit colors.

But yeah, still not giving up hope for a Metroid announcement at E3!

@JellySplat Better than a Link or Pit clone.

At least Dark Samus has her own abilities (Phazon-powered attacks) that don't mimic Samus' beams or missiles in any way.

I'll be very happy if it turns out as exciting as the trailer! Since Wii U isn't getting Battlefront, this could be the next best thing in terms of content and amount of playability.

Just give me Darth Vader and Jar Jar figures, and I'll be set!

If I go into a store in the near future and see Captain Falcon on the shelves, I'll be very happy Nintendo.

@Grumblevolcano I'd expect Nintendo to at least acknowledge it this time around.

Zelda got plenty of attention with its 25th anniversary.

A new Metroid is always at the top of my E3 reveals.

Here's hoping this year we finally get something! (Especially with the series' 30th anniversary being next year.)

The Epic Mickey games were truly some of the most uniquely designed and imaginative games on the Wii. I enjoyed both games (the second one a bit more) and its saddening that we may never get a third.

Its also puzzling that Disney didn't want to even make an EM movie! That would've been incredible! Guess they assume people just want more princess and superhero movies... :-/

@SheldonRandoms Heck yeah, I demand Jar Jar too!

I might even buy the game when he's released.

@mjc0961 "I can't believe it's 2015 and people still get hung up on "swearing". They're just words, they're only "more offensive" or "bad" because you personally chose to think they are, not because they actually are. If people would stop getting hung up on these words for literally no reason, they wouldn't even be used that much anymore. Getting hung up on swearing is such a massive sign of immaturity. It's about time the world grew up and realized there is nothing wrong with these words."

Wow, so much wrong with this paragraph. I don't even know where to start.

"This is the Sonic game we all truly want"

Riiight... it looks ugly. I'll stick with Sonic Colors.
