Metroid Prime: Blast Ball was set to be part of the Metroid Prime: Federation Force release later this year, however Nintendo just released the game for free on the E-shop, Kensuke Tanabe, producer of the game, explained that he hopes that the users get used to the controls of Blast Ball so that they'll have a better experience playing Federation Force.

Nah, I'm too busy playing nothing atm.

I don't know if i should feel sorry for them. This game has been a PR mess since day 1

I don't like to be pessimistic about Nintendo games, but this should rip.

Before I clicked on the link, I assumed that the video was going to be heavily thumbed down -- I was not proven wrong.

FREE STUFF!!!

eh, it's a nice idea to try and get more people into buying Federation Force by giving for free to everyone Blast Ball, even tough Federation Force was hugely backlashed Blast Ball was a "Blast" for everyone who played it at E3 2015. Also the Amiibo functionality is pretty good aswell !

It's amusing to see this getting such a negative reception.

Yeah I know, i think the game looks fun, but the whole situation is sad. A lot of fans are not going to buy the game because they hate everything about it, a lot of people are going to jump on the same bandwagon. 

Six years after the last Metroid game, we get Blast Ball, hellz yeah!
