The Metroid Prime name carries a lot of weight with it. There are a certain number of expectations that come with a title, such as a sense of loneliness, exploring the unknown, puzzle solving, and slowly finding ways to progress through the world. However, the [Federation Force] trailer above makes it abundantly clear that this new game is a multiplayer shooter. Is this a bad thing? Certainly not. But as a fan of the series, one can’t help but feel a little distraught.
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.
No, it being a straight up shooter is a bad thing... Getting rid of the the franchise heroine as the main character is also a terrible move. It seems like Nintendo just wants to kill Metroid
Yea dude this is a bad thing for any metroid fan. Capcom did a similar move with Umbrella Corps. Fans of this series do not want this and fans of the competitive shooter genre aren't going to give this game the time of day.
So why make this? Oh wait, Nintendo being Nintendo, my mistake.
