If you’re like a me who hasn’t kept up a ton with Metroid, you probably don’t know a whole lot about Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Since its unveiling, the 3DS title has remained shrouded in mystery for quite some time. Only one factor has remained a constant during its existence, which is that the game is unlike any other Metroid to date. Ditching the series’ iconic feeling of isolation and turning more towards four-player multiplayer, it attempts to reach for the stars and try something new. Therein lies the recurring problem with Federation Force, however. While the new ideas are fun, they offer equally as many bonuses as they do flaws.

Nintendo posted a trailer for the just-launched Metroid Prime: Federation Force to its YouTube page. We have it below.

GameXplain has uploaded the final boss and ending for Metroid Prime: Federation Force. Just to be extra safe, we’ve posted the video past the break. The very last scene in particular may be worth watching if you’re interested in Metroid – though it goes without saying there are spoilers involved.
