nope, voting with the wallet. this is NOT what Metroid fans wanted. I'm sure there are some Nintendo fans that this caters to, but the vast majority of the series fans are here because of things like Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime- atmospheric adventure sci fi games that are single player. Hell, I don't even mind if you throw in some sort of multiplayer element bonus mode (or even maybe a 2 player co op) as long as the core fundamental mood and gameplay is there and it stars the titular character Samus, of which the franchise has built on (her and her involvement with the Metroids)
I would suggest series fans do not buy this. I doubt it will do well regardless, but seriously a game like this selling okay would send the exact wrong message to Nintendo. This is one of the only truly shocking decisions I can think of that Nintendo has made in recent years regarding software, I mean looking at its gameplay and graphic it may as well be called something like "Team Space Bounty Hunters". Hell, they should have already dropped the Metroid name and just left it "Federation Force".
the only thing (beyond name) about this game that appears to resemble the franchise is the fact that it uses the HUD and has Samus's blast cannon
