I think were at a point now that it should be safe for Nintendo to try another multiplayer Metroid spin off now. There is a traditional 3D Metroid in development and a 2D one is launching this October.

Yeah but like, what's the point?

I'd take any other kind of Metroid content instead of that. Samus Returns would greatly benefit from a port that removes it from the shackles of the 3DS. Metroid Prime Trilogy would be fantastic on the Switch and is still lingering far back on the Wii. Even Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion are currently unavailable on the Switch.

With all those games unavailable on their current platform, where they're trying to sell Metroid 5 and Metroid Prime 4... yeah, I wouldn't dislike more than a few ports/remasters. And ideally for the two main teams making the two games right now, would like to see them continue making more - in the case of MercurySteam, that in itself could mean a new take on traditional Metroid since Dread is supposed to be the end of the story arc up to this point.

I'm not against experimenting, but forcing multiplayer in a series that is traditionally single-player is just... no, why.

Because the gameplay would work for it and federation force is a fun game. A lot of Nintendo IPs nowadays either have multiplayer in the main game or spin-offs that have substantial multiplayer experiences and these games are traditionally single player IPs. There is a lack of FPS multiplayer shooters on the switch and Metroid is a franchise that can fill that niche. It’s not like they have to build from scratch, Federation Force can be a foundation.
