It actually looks pretty cool in action, too bad it won't be as fun when you're either playing alone or with random idiots on the internet.

A dual-analog FPS with a max of 3 enemies on the screen at once that appears to be around 640x480 and with an FoV that looks like you're viewing things through a ship's porthole. I can't even imagine how much fun I'm going to have.

that is a lie, it's the same game just it called different levels as "games". and the only other games are mini games that mobile devs fart out in their sleep.

granted this is a lie too since it's like saying a co-op mode and death battle are 2 games in one.

Now you all know how it felt when Rare released Banjo Kazooie Nuts and bolts.

We must pummel nintendo into submission so that they may rise like a pheonix and make good titles again.

Cast out all amiibos, excommunicate all DLC. Don't let them slip into the cycle of ease, for we may wind up with Mario Boom Fire and Ice.

This is a radical concept, but that Animal Crossing game doesn't look very appealing to me so I'm not going to buy it. Some other people are probably looking at it and thinking it looks great and so they will buy it.

I didn't see much of the stream so I don't know if they talked about all the control options but the default control scheme uses gyro aiming which is fine.

Gyro aiming on a portable, in a genre where you will inadvertently move the device in the heat of the action.

gyro aiming as a fine tuner for sticks is actually very good. play majoras mask on 3ds you'll never miss a bow shot.

Gyro aiming for some pseudo death star run that makes you look at a bad screen instead of your tv is probably less cool.

I hope this is a prequel and the (apparently) frustrating controls are to show what a bunch of incompetent gently caress-ups the Federation Troopers were before Samus started doing everything for them.

Oh my god Nintendo. What is this? This is just ridiculous. This isn't the Metroid I know and love.
I mean, what next?

Mario racing?

Zelda Dynasty Warriors?

Wario mini games?

They've really jumped the shark here. They might as well of just made Metroid pinball. Lol could you imagine?

The difference is that all those ideas were uproarious because they were bizarre and interesting, this game is literally the most boring way to take the franchise possible. It's like if EA was publishing, not Nintendo.

Dunno why they felt the Metroid brand would help here. I'd think people would respond to this more positively if they made it a completely new IP in a unique setting. They could keep the gameplay exactly the same, just change the look of everything. Cause really teasing people with a Metroid game that isn't actually Metroid is just cruel at this point.

Also none of those series were dead and buried at the time those spinoffs were released. There wasn't a reaction like this when Metroid Prime Pinball was released because there wasn't a sense of "this is it, this is what Metroid is now?"

I am literally crying in anger and frustration I took my 3DS and my Wii U and threw them out of my 5th story studio apartment window right into the dumpster in the ally below I cannot believe nintendo took my favorite video game franchise character and reduced her to a non-entity I am punching holes into walls and stomping my feet so hard that all of my blisters have burst it makes me so angry that nintendo will churn out the same stupid poo poo all the time a new mario platformer that is exactly like the last but when it comes to metroid we get this chibi multiplayer ballblasting bullshit its not fair at all and I am going to get all of my nintendo tattoos removed because I am so loving done with this company I have spent the last 25 years of my life playing nintendo games all day every day sacrificing my personal and professional life in the name of gaming but no more today is a new day a day without nintendo today is the day metroid died.

To be fair I'd rather Metroid be this than Other M.

Also IGN spoke to Kensuke Tanabe about it. It doesn't sound like Metroid Prime 4 is currently in development but that Federation Force might be testing the waters for it. Though personally I could hardly care less about Sylux.
