Have Metroid fans really not suffered enough with the excruciating, almost 20-year wait for a legit successor to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption?

But in 2015, two years before Metroid Prime 4 was finally confirmed by Nintendo, they announced the first new Metroid game in over half a decade, since the wildly divisive Other M.

Yet despite leading fans to expect either Metroid Prime 4 or at least a worthy spin-off, they got... Federation Force, a co-op FPS exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. 

The infamous reveal trailer was widely derided online for brazenly showing off how the game deviated from Metroid's classic formula, scaling back exploration to focus on multiplayer action, adopting a more cartoonish art style, and even lacking Samus as a playable character.

Irate fans ultimately created a petition asking Nintendo to cancel the game, and while that didn't come to pass, fans did at least vote with their wallets, ensuring Federation Force flopped at retail.
