Metroid Prime: Federation Force Gets UK Release Date

Nintendo has announced a 2 September EU release for the 3DS Metroid multiplayer spinoff Metroid Prime: Federation Force.

Featuring chibi visuals and focussing on online gameplay, Metroid Prime: Federation Force pits teams of four against space pirates.

Next Level Games, the team behind Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, are developing the title and are also offering a competitive 3v3 Blast Ball game mode alongside the main game.

Federation Force received a negative reaction from Metroid fans who were upset with the artistic direction of the game as well as series stalwart Samus Aran not being the main character.
