''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'' is a 2016 cooperative first-person shooter currently being developed by Next Level Games for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a spin-off of the ''Metroid Prime'' series, where the player assumes the role of a Galactic Federation Marine, featuring gameplay elements similar to those of ''Metroid Prime Hunters''. The game features a multiplayer mode known as ''Metroid Prime: Blast Ball''. This mode was originally unveiled as ''Blast Ball'' during the Nintendo World Championships 2015 and was playable during E3 2015. ==Gameplay== ''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'' plays similarly to previous titles of the series. Like the latest handheld installment, ''Metroid Prime Hunters'', ''Federation Force'' primarily focuses on the shooting mechanics within the ''Metroid Prime'' series as opposed to the exploration. It also incorporated cooperative elements into the core gameplay. ''Federation Force'' lacks the touch-based controls of ''Hunters'' as well as the established scanning mechanics of the ''Metroid'' series, which allowed players to analyze their character's surrounding environment and discover secrets. ''Federation Force'' is the first ''Metroid'' game where the player controls a Marine of the Galactic Federation. Within the context of the ''Metroid'' series, the Galactic Federation is a law-enforcing organization where soldiers are divided into platoons and go on planetary missions, which is how ''Federation Forces campaign is organized. There will be three planets with approximately ten missions per planet (about sixty total missions). These planets come from previous ''Metroid Prime'' games. The game will feature previously-established aliens as enemies, including the titular jellyfish-like Metroids and Space Troopers. However, it will also feature original enemies, such as Goliath Beetles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metroid Prime: Federation Force Wiki Guide )〕 The environments are diversified, with at least one mission taking place in an icy region while another takes place in a desert. Up to four players traverse the planets to meet their objective. Unlike the multiplayer modes within ''Hunters'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', players work cooperatively as a single unit as opposed to competing with each other. Before starting a mission, players can customize their soldier with different weapons and utilities. Some are more offensive, like the returning Super Missiles. Others are more stragetic, such as a healing first-aid device that allows one Marine to hang back and aide his comrades. The different weapons will have weight-based properties that will affect the player's speed and mobility. These mechanics are inspired by the options within classical RPGs. ''Federation Force'' will canonically occur at some point between ''Metroid'' and ''Metroid II: Return of Samus'', like the other ''Metroid Prime'' titles. However, it will not have a specific placement among the other ''Prime'' games. The young Marine will go through various parts of training and eventually be sent to carry out research missions on three different planets. While conducting these missions it is discovered that the Space Pirates have been creating weapons in secrecy as part of a plot to use them against the Galactic Federation. Although not the protagonist, Samus Aran will be in the game and emphasis will be made on encountering her from the perspective of the Federation Marines. Sylux, a rival of Samus’s from ''Hunters'', may return in some capacity. Although no concrete plans have been made Kensuke Tanabe hopes that ''Federation Force''’s plot will lead to future ''Metroid Prime'' games based on the relationship between Samus and Sylux, with additional involvement from the Federation Marines.〔 The amiibo of Samus may have some sort of functionality with the title, but its utility has not been finalized.〔 While the game will be playable on all Nintendo 3DS models, ''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'' will specifically benefit from the C-Stick of the New Nintendo 3DS by allowing the player to adjust their view of the surrounding environments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metroid Prime: Federation Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
