The Gurumin Twitter account is currently hosting a fan Q&A session, and has shared some new details in the process. We’ve rounded up the information thus far below and will add in new tidbits assuming more are posted.

– Fully 3D
– “some redrawn help stuff”
– New lower screen
– Could come to Wii U or NX if the game does well
– Not using the same textures as the PC version since it’s technically impossible
– Moving a traditional 3D platforming game to true stereoscopic 3D has been the greatest challenge
– Can switch headgear on the lower screen
– Will support the C Stick on New 3DS
– 30 FPS
– Based mainly on PSP version (which has more costumes)
– 3DS theme is “very likely”

Update: It appears that severs for this “special demo” will only be up for a certain period. However, online functions will still be available in the full Metroid Prime: Federation Force game.

Here’s a big surprise. Metroid Prime: Blast Ball is out on the 3DS eShop, and it’s completely free. The last we heard, this was to be a mode included in Federation Force, but it looks like Nintendo had a change of plans!

Blast Ball supports up to six players. Online play, local play, and Download Play are all supported. It’s 1,563 blocks / 195.375MB.
