I saw that game when it was a preview game for some nintendo competition. Looked horrible back then, still looks horrible now. I get what nintendo was trying to do, cash in on the multiplayer craze like Splatoon by taking a sport and spicing it up.


Now's the fun part. Looks like they slapped the Metroid logo over it. Guess I can't blame them, game didn't have much appeal just being "Blast Ball". So makes sense to try to use metroid to sell it, since it already did look like a deformed baby of metroid. But it hurts being a Metroid fan that they'd use one of my favourite series like a paper towel just to sell me something I don't want.

The worst part of all this story is, that most of the metroids-fan were expecting Nintendo to announce a OtherM-like or a new Metroid 2D (made by nextlevelgame), and instead of all that, we have to wait for this garbage stuff

It doesn't look that bad though.

I don't care about how the game seems. The fact is that Nintendo fucked up again the community by releasing a game that is completely outside of the true essence of Metroid

Meanwhile, Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart/Sports/Party etc.

Mario can be easily explained imo.
Sure, Hyrule Warrior is a trash game, but I don't see your point with the Metroid's future right now

Not really making a point, just pointing out other games that completely misses the core elements of their franchise.
But yeah, Metroid's getting the really short end of the stick.

Well, Mario is Like Sonic, They never have got a core (excepting the original game, which is supposed to be a platform game).
But yes, others got their essence nearly destroyed

What Nintendo was trying to do was widen its appeal for Metroid. Cutesy games like this sell well in Japan. Shooters sell well in America.

The problem is that cutesy games don't sell well in America, and shooters don't sell well in Japan.

Basically, it won't sell well anywhere.

What happened to it? 0-0

This way of thinking (even if it's right) is utterly stupid.
This game, first, is ugly as fuck, +, his gameplay only turn around GF missions, which'll be boring too.
This game = waste of time for The fan and for Gibtendo
