Sounds about right.

Platform: Nintendo 3DS
Rating Category: T
Content Descriptors: Fantasy Violence
Other: Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB (Nintendo 3DS)
Rating Summary: This is a first-person shooter in which players control Federation Space Marines as they complete objectives and battle enemy forces in a fictional galaxy. Players control specialized battle “mechs” as they explore planets to recover materials/personnel, and engage in combat with aggressive alien creatures. Players use blaster-like weapons and missiles to kill various enemies (e.g., ice titans, giant insects, space pirates, droids) in frenetic battle. Creatures disintegrate in a black particle effect when defeated. Battles are highlighted by gunfire, explosions, and cries of pain.

Aren't most Metroid games given a T rating?

Edit - oh haha it's a reference to the ESRB description.

 

[Servbot24]

Cries of pain indeed.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Like Pokemon?

 

[Corpekata]

They put in the reaction to the announcement?

 

[KingBroly]

I guess they do know how their fans feel after all.

 

[Geek]

Wrong link in OP

"cries of pain" from metroid fans

 

[mrmickfran]

Voice chat confirmed?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Good thing Deus Ex is out at about the same time so I can forget about this.

 

[Broken Joystick]

You'd think it'd be rated M since you're playing as a dead franchise

 

[E_Darkness]

I thought the ESRB didn't take in the community opinion when they rate games.

 

[BatDan]

The artstyle probably lead people to believe this would be E10+
I think Super Metroid was K&A (the original E)

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I thought the ESRB only rated in game interactions?

 

[timshundo]

Man half of my beef with this game are the godawful websafe RGB colors they used for their visors. Can they get some color advice from the Splatoon team???

 

[BigTnaples]

This thread will be full of hilarious jokes.


This game looks terrible.


On topic. How does Uncharted get only teen, and yet this gets teen, and Halo gets mature?

Makes no damn sense.

 

[chronic_archaic]

I'm still excited for this, don't know why people just assume this game is bad without ever playing it. Yes, it's not a new Metroid. So what, a coop shooter on the 3DS isn't a thing either.

Halo 5 got Teen

 

[DownGrader]

This is probably the best GAF headline since "First Half-Life, 3 screenshots."

 

[Oersted]

Would make a perfectly edgy fantitle for Zelda.

I've definitely never understand why Halo get an M-rating, but that seems to have finally been rectified with Halo 5.

"cries of pain" from metroid fans

mmmmm it does still sting

 

[BatDan]

Something something "not the Metroid I want" something something "Metroid is dead" something something "Insult" something something Super Paper Mario image.

Why would you be excited if you've never played it?

It's not the Metroid they wanted. Even though I have no interest in this title, I do think it'll be solid, based on Tanabe and Next Level Games.

 

[KingBroly]

It's "Metroid Is Dead"

 

[Sesuadra]

Sometimes I wish they had scrapped the game and made a splatoon version for the 3DS..

I'll see how the videos look we will get, but for now it still looks bad

 

[Lux R7]

"cries of pain" from metroid fans

.dead

 

[tauroxd]

Cries of pain indeed.

"cries of pain" from metroid fans

Indeed.

 

[AdanVC]

Metroid Prime Federation Force OT - Cries of Pain.

I don't want to be so negative towards this game but holy shit that screenshot looks like a N-Gage launch game.

 

[Dad]

I'm even more confused as to who this is being marketed towards now. I think we've ruled out children and Metroid fans so far

 

[Nocturnowl]

Between creating most FF update news threads and nearly always being around for a cheeky snide early post in numerous "worst something to do with a franchise" threads I say ElectricBlanketFire has done a fine job of advertising this game, more than Nintendo themselves.

Admit it pal, you can't wait for this shit.

 

[Calm Mind]

Should have been rated E10 for the way Metroid fans have been acting as of late.

 

[daveo42]

I assume those are coming from the fans, not the game.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Cries of over here

Metroid Prime: Federation Force |OT| Baby's Cry of Pain

 

[RPGCrazied]

Cries of pain indeed.

It really stings, its the 30th anniversary, and we get.... this.

 

[Mechazawa]

What if it's fun, though.

I don't want to be so negative towards this game but holy shit that screenshot looks like a N-Gage launch game.

A friendly reminder that the top screen of Nintendo 3DS has the resolution of 400x240 pixels. For comparison, PSP had a 480x272 screen.

It's honestly pointless to look at the 3DS screenshots and videos on a computer monitor, especially if they were stretched and blurred to insanity.

ElectricBlanketFire and KingBroly are buying this on day one.

Dont matter still gonna get shit on forever. Time to accept that

 

[Illucio]

I bet Nintendo was shooting for E in terms of graphics.

I'm not sure if this is a win or not.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

*Wilhelm Scream*

 

[RPGCrazied]

Seriously, I'd take another Other M type game than this.

I sold my 3DS to MaxCriden a while ago.

No, I will not. I REFUSE to buy this trash.
