Speaking with Mashable, Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime acknowledged the negative reactions that Metroid Prime: Federation Force has been receiving thus far. However, he was quick to point out that those who went hands-on with the game at E3 2015 have “come across really pleased.” Reggie ultimately asked fans for their trust.

“We’re taking our great IP and transforming them and making them new again — making them fresh and appealing for the fan who feels they know the franchise. But we’re giving them new things to enjoy. What the fan at home saw was something in the Metroid Prime universe that they weren’t expecting. The reaction has been negative. There’s no sugar coating it. This is an example where fans who aren’t able to get their hands on the game may be at a bit of a competitive disadvantage. Everyone who has played what we are showing regarding Metroid Prime, they’ve come across really pleased. My ask is that fans trust us.

Reggie also spoke about the need for Nintendo “to keep the franchises fresh.” This is what Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has set out to do with Zelda, and it’s what the company believes is necessary “in order to propel the franchises forward”.

Mr. Aonuma has said that he is challenging many of the conventional wisdoms of Zelda gaming in this new Zelda, and that’s what we do. We believe we have to do that to keep the franchises fresh. We believe that in order to propel the franchises forward, we have to be the ones to constantly challenge the paradigms, challenge the conventional wisdom, challenge what we thought was the essence of the particular franchise, and a particular form of gameplay.”

Hammerspace has shared another couple of pictures from the Majora’s Mask manga. Today we get a look at an altered scene involving The Indigo-Go’s.

In the actual game, players can perform with The Indigo-Go’s under the guise of Mikau after completing the Great Bay temple. This was heavily abridged in the manga and only lasts one page. What’s shown above looks a bit more extensive!

It’s going to be awhile – if ever – before Netflix’s live-action Zelda series comes to fruition. In the meantime, we have one fan-made effort from the Zelda Project and Player Piano called “The Final Battle”.

The Final Battle will show a duel between Ganondorf and Link, who is trying to save Princess Zelda. What’s shown above is just a teaser – featuring Link riding to the ruins of Castletown.
