I was wondering because we really don't know anything about it and still it is supposed to release in early 2016 due to appearing in the Digital Event.

 

I expected Nintendo to cover us with news regarding it trying to convince us that the game is not that bad or showing what parts of the game were changed to make it more appealing to us but instead they went on total media blackout about it. I personally will never buy the game because it's not the kind of Metroid game that appeals to me, plus I find intolerable that after so many years without any Metroid game they end up with this Spin-off that can hardly be called as a Metroid title but still I'd like Nintendo to try to convince people of it beeing a decent game because if it's sales won't be good I don't see any Metroid game coming our way in the near future...

 

If you don't know what I'm talking about here's a little recap of what Metroid Prime: Federation Force is:

 

In June during the NWC it was first shown a totally new game under the name of "Blastball", a 3 vs 3 sci-fi/football game playable in first person for 3DS;

During Nintendo's E3 2015 Digital Event it was announced that "Blastball" is a minigame included in "Metroid Prime: Federation Force", a 4 player co-op game where people need to team up to capture alien monsters and defeat space criminals.

The game right from the start recived a strong backlash from the fans of the Metroid series that furious covered the Game's trailer on YouTube with dislikes (currently it's more than 9 dislikes for each single like) and rage comments as well as creating a petition to delete the game that to this day received more than 20.000 signs.

Later on we found out that the game was developed by Next Level Games, who previously showed artworks for a new Metroid game featuring Samus that was later deleted so that they could develop Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
