In each mission, you'll choose your role on the team by selecting from different subweapons and MODs to customize your Mech and maximize your chance of survival. Whether you focus on healing allies or increasing your arsenal, your greatest asset is teamwork. Work together, tackle missions, take down bosses, and defeat hostile creatures as one powerful unit. The dangerous Metroid Prime universe is now at your mercy. Honor your vow to protect it and fight back...before there’s nothing left to fight for. The next chapter in the Metroid Prime™ saga is here.

2016 is turning out to be the year of long awaited titles, whether its games like The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy XV, or Persona 5, we are finally getting games that have been in development for a long time. One game releases soon to join this company and promises to deliver a heart felt story with great characters and gameplay that the whole gaming community has been waiting for. Thats right, Deus Ex Metroid Prime: Federation Force is just around the corner. Since its reveal at Nintendo's greatest e3, 2015, Federation Force has had everyone talking.

Very few games from their initial announcements can get such a reaction. There are even some fans that cannot handle such an amazing addition to the Metroid Universe that some fans have been petitioning that the game cease its development in fears that it would just be too amazing for their senses to contain and it would take over their lives for the foreseeable future.

After such an astounding reaction from fans of Metroid, Nintendo had to let it sink in for a little bit, so fans could catch their breath. That is until Nintendo said, they have endured enough and dropped another bombshell during a Nintendo Direct in March of this year. Starting development in 2009, it was confirmed that Federation Force was to originally have been made for the DSi, but it was moved to the 3DS because Nintendo feared it would cause the older DS model to melt from the sheer intensity of the game. Federation Force is a better game for this though, bringing fans back to the days of Metroid Prime Hunters on the DS by boasting its nostalgic graphics that deliver a truly immersive experience. To achieve full immersion, Nintendo took out all the distractions the previous game had by kicking out other characters nobody cares about like Samus and adding in the chibi-est the Federation had to offer.

Now by this point you are probably saying to yourself "where can I preorder this masterpiece?", but you better strap in because Nintendo isn't done melting your mind yet. Thats right, we have Blast Ball™. Move over Rocket League, theres a new soccer star here and it has guns. Nintendo is just oozing confidence right now and to wet your appetite for it, they decided to give you what you were asking for, a demo for Blast Ball™ and fans are loving it.

Now im assuming everyone has run out to your local gamestop to rob them for their entire shipment of the game, but once you get back its time to meet the team.

Nintendo dropped the ball on this one.

Edit: Ill be fair and say 5/10. Itll be average at best.

One of the best hype threads, thanks aigis!

I'll definitely look through this thread later, but it looks good! I'm guessing 7/10 here!

Hoping for good scores all around! Might just pick this up sooner than later.

@King_Dodongo: Thank you :)

5/10

Nintendo should know better.

I'm 90% sure that this hype thread is going to be better than the actual game....the thread gets a 10/10

the actual game is probably going to be a 4/10...gameplay seems generic and its yet to wow me

Great work @aigis

5/10 for me

1/10 An abomination against mankind.

3/10

The game that made me never want to see Nintendo make a dedicated handheld ever again.

Im hyping this 10/10 just to point out how stupid the hype system is around here.

@DocSanchez: you mean you dont think it will be a 10/10?

@aigis: this is the greatest hype thread ever and it has me absolutely hyped for that score.

7/10. I pre-ordered it today.

Famitsu Reviews Metroid Prime: Federation Force

• Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS) – 7/8/7/8

7/10 looks like it will be a fun game even without the metroid branding

This hype thread is probably the best that will come from this game. its score: 10/10

On topic, the game looks like a 5, but I'm gonna be optimistic and say it will get a 6.

I'm just waiting for @iandizion713 at this point

I'm going to go crazy and vote 4/10. I hope it does that well.

10/10 will buy. /s

5. It just seems so...so...meh.

4/10

I'm feeling generous today.

@aigis: Im going with an 8/10. I think Peter Brown will find entertainment with the game. It should be a good challenge for single player and lots of fun with coop play.

7/10 and that's being very generous. Still waiting for a real 2D Metriod game....

@Ghost120x: Sakamoto shouldnt be long. Lets just defend until Samus is ready to take off again.

BTW I will vote for a 7. Can't be worse than the POS that is Other M.

Great thread. That final gif is spectacular.

Blastball > Lucioball > Rocket League

BUt seriously, I could see this game landing anywhere between 4-6. Guess I'll go with a 5.

Yeah not really expecting much from this game. Doesn't inspire confidence that Nintendo's last attempt at making a famous, beloved adventure serious into a co-op game didn't go over too well.

5/10 and being generous. :P

why make a hype thread for a poopoo title? why no one made a hype thread for Big Rigs?

4/10. Abomination in the making. Some Nintendo fans will call this a "gem" lmao.

Judging by how Nintendo has disabled comments on their videos for this game, and also won't show a like/dislike bar, I hope they've learned something.

5/10

7/10

Awesome hype thread. Great job. Hopefully the game is half as good as your thread.

I'll go with 6, it honestly didn't look too good imo.

Jeff DESTROYED this game on the GB cast. A true Nintendo """gem""".

I'll give it a 6/10 and that's as far as I can give it. I don't know if Nintendo even knows what there fans want but the fans ask for a true Metroid Prime sequel, not this spin-off.

You must be joking. Nintendo learning something? We'll see more of the same "we know better than you when it comes to what you want" nonsense.

Sounds fun, just a different kind of Metroid it seems

@silversix_: Brad had the best quote in the podcast regarding the game. "Metroid games don't sell." That should silence anyone who wanted the game to be a "real" Metroid Prime game. The backlash over this game doesn't match the sales numbers of past entries. Are people just looking for things to bitch about.

I'm a HUGE fan of Jeffs, but I would NEVER take his opinion of a Nintendo game seriously.

My hype is a 7/10. There is no game like this on the 3DS so I am welcoming it with open arms.

Using the logic of the person quoted, quite a few Nintendo games should never see sequels because the games do not sell but they continue making them. Nintendo could have made this game not some sort of traditional and/or familiar Metroid game more so than the current installment.

Hype: 8

It will be a pleasant surprise.

Like what? If the game dont sell, Nintendo eventually drops it. Nintendo studios dont care to make games no one wants to play.

Theyre right though, the backlash dont add up. So where are these people coming from?

Pikmin.

The underlined sentence is bad bad bad hyperbole.

@aigis: Awesomeness

@Solaryellow: Pikmin series is good for 1 million usually and doesnt require much advertising. Pikmin also has good popularity in all regions, which is a plus.

Yeah, i had to delete that cause i couldnt get it worded right. I was trying to say has never had this amount wanting to buy a Metroid game, but Metroid has had the hate crowd for awhile, so no matter how i worded the sentence, i couldnt get it to sound good.

Now Metroid doesnt sale good everywhere. For some reason, it doesnt do good in Japan at all. Dont know what it is, but Japan dont seem to care for it.
