Metroid fans seem wary of the upcoming cooperative spin-off, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, because it lacks the series exploration-focused gameplay, but perhaps most of all, because it won't prominently feature the series' iconic heroine, Samus Aran.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Now that the series seems to have found its footing again, it’s a good time to revisit one of the most maligned titles Nintendo has ever released and ask the question – Metroid Prime: Federation Force, was it really that bad?"
It's the Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z of Nintendo. Who had this idea in the first place?
Ever just look at a game and go, "who wanted this?" We take a look at 11 ill-conceived Nintendo games that rose that question.
CGM (painfully) revisited a game from each year between 2010-2019, highlighting releases that surprised players - for all the wrong reasons.
Other question: Does anyone here plan to buy this game?
You mean can it survive without having anything Metroid related towards it.
The game seems like a minigame, one you would expect from Nintendo Land. It's pretty obvious they put "Metroid" in the title to add more appeal to it. Only problem is that the Metroid fanbase isn't falling for it.
Why not? The Other M basically spat in the face of everything we knew about Samus and made her a whiney reluctant hero - people still liked it for the gameplay though.
My problem with this game is that it looks like crap - not graphically, but the overall art. It looks like a game you would find on Android for a few bucks. And from the gameplay videos I've seen, it doesn't seem to control great either. I think it's a huge missed opportunity; it could have been great with the gameplay of Metroid Prime Hunters and the actual art style of a Metroid game.
