There has been some hate online since the brief glimpse Nintendo gave of METROID PRIME: FEDERATION FORCE last year at E3. And when Nintendo showed off a new trailer for the game at their Nintendo Direct last week it didn’t get much better.
But perhaps I’m in the minority here, but I think the game looks pretty fun.
Sure there are some changes to the look of the game, which is what people are likely upset about. The game’s look and art style is a departure from the METROID PRIME games for the Nintendo GameCube, as well as METROID PRIME: HUNTERS for the Nintendo DS, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I personally think that the look of this game feels like a hybrid between the PRIME games and the METROID games of the Game Boy Advance days, specifically METROID FUSION.
One commenter online even pointed out that some of the people hating on the game might relent if the “PRIME” part of the name was removed. But let’s face it; this isn’t exactly the first time Nintendo’s made a multiplayer adventure game based off of one of their piller properties. NEW SUPER MARIO BROS Wii featured four player co-op in a Mario game. Even just as recently as a few months ago we had THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TRIFORCE HEROES, and that game was heralded as a great game.
So what is this game even about?
