In Metroid Prime: Federation Force join a four-player local or online squad in this co-operative sci-fi shooter set in the Metroid universe. Hop in a specialized battle Mech suit and work with your teammates to take down enemy forces and complete objective- based missions. Then, take a break and play a fun, pick-up game of Blast Ball with fellow troops.

'Super Metroid' flatlined in Japan. It's never been a popular franchise there.

But it's the fact that we haven't had a proper Metroid game in a while. Fans are screaming out for it but Nintendo won't listen. (Probably still sore about Other M?) You would have thought that they'd make something special for the 30th anniversary...

Heat for cheapest pre order price. I will get this but like the multiplayer Zelda game I think this will sink like a balloon in price very quickly, so will wait till sub 15

Metroid had always been great at giving a sense of isolation...whose idea was multiplayer? :neutral_face:

It's a spin-off. By definition it can't be the same kind of experience, just takes place in the same universe.

This is a really good game, a Metroid spin-off but in this title it's about team work and as such, playing solo is a tedious chore.

I hear you, man. Not sure where this idea came from that every game has to have multiplayer these days. Much prefer playing in isolation (Witcher, Fallout, etc). "Then, take a break and play a fun, pick-up game of Blast Ball with fellow troops." Jesus actual Christ.

Won't take long before this drops further - absolutely flatlined in Japan. I'm sure it's an ok game but has ticked off a lot of Metroid fans

Gamers need to be a bit more open-minded and realise that this is a spin-off. Metal Gear Rising is not a MGS game at heart but it's pretty awesome and speaking of MGR, I want a sequel already god dammit! :man:

I seriously wish people would stop using the failure in Japan as a metric from Metroid fans to support their argument that this game didn't need to exist. Every single Metroid game sells horrifically in Japan, they all do, its just not a liked series there. Similarly unliked is F-Zero and Star Fox. I agree with you that we need a new Metroid game that's a proper one, but this doesn't help anyone's case.

The reveal for this ranks as one of the biggest disappointments I've ever seen. People teased that we might get a new Metroid, and this is what we got. It was like a monkey's paw wish.

I'll wait them to start shifting this for under a tenner. Which will happen. The game absolutely bombed in Japan.
