Nintendo Talks 3DS ‘Metroid Prime: Federation Force’ E3 Trailer Backlash: Confirms Samus

Nintendo let a lot of fans down when the unveiled the trailer for the new trailer for Metroid Prime: Federation Force for the 3DS. The game, which doesn’t feature series star Samus Aran (who will make an appearance but not as a playable character) has been widely panned by fans. A Change.org petion to stop the game has even been made, gaining a lot of support from angry gamers. Now, Nintendo is responding to the backlash.

Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime recently spoke to Mashable where he admitted that fans were disappointed with the Metroid Prime: Federation Force E3:

"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."

However, Fils-Aime is certain that fans will be singing a different tune once they get their hands on a copy of the game, adding:

"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."
