I never understood the hate for Federation Force. It's a spin-off, why should I expect it to be like a mainline game? Pokemon Ranger isn't supposed to be like Diamond/Pearl, same with Mystery Dungeon. Also, it was developed by Next Level Games, not Retro Studios or whichever Japanese studio handles Metroid. And even if you don't consider it a spin-off, it's on the 3DS! You want Metrood Prime 4 or whatever on the 3DS??

But I still agree with most of his points. 

It had been 9 years since the last good Metroid game, fans were screaming out for a HD Metroid, and instead they dragged the series further through the mud by attaching its once impeccable name to shovelware that would barely pass as a budget N64 game.
