The official Nintendo 3DS Facebook Page from Germany calls it an yet unknown Game

I mentioned on the NWC thread and found the moment where you read Clearly "G.F.S. AEGIS" which is in line with the ship naming in the Metroid Galactic Federation naming for "G.F.S. Valhalla", "G.F.S. Olympus", etc.

Thanks Wario 64 for the gif.

 

[Fracas]

WTF

 

[Peltz]

 

[Koppai]

Nintendo be on a roll today, I love it!

 

[Tripon]

The crowd was not happy.

 

[BY2K]

Metroid Prime Hunters Soccer?

 

[GhostTrick]

Eh, looks like a reskinned Metroid Prime.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Metroid Prime Hunters is back.

 

[dmr87]

 

[Broken Joystick]

Probably an eShop game. Looks okay.

 

[Gnilres]

You were quick lol. Looks fun!

When will us normal people be able to play?

 

[Shizuka]

What am I seeing?

 

[Zalman]

I want to know exactly who is behind this.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Metroid Prime Hunters spiritual sequel

I am intrigued.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Another team-based competitive "shooter". Interesting.

 

[Sendou]

This is F2P I imagine.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I always have thought that Hunters was underrated...

 

[Woffls]

Looks like mech soccer with guns instead of feet?

 

[Josh7289]

Did Retro make this game? It looks like Metroid Prime. The UI, that is.

 

[Ferrio]

Kinda hard to get excited for this when something like Rocket League is coming out soon.

 

[iMax]

Such a cool way to announce a new game. More of this, nintendo!

 

[Peltz]

This game is a bit like Firestriker for SNES or Pong. You need to bat the ball into the other goal using projectiles.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This is F2P I imagine.

Either that or like $3 on the eShop. It looks terrible to me. Like something they cooked up on the Prime Hunters engine like 2 days before the show

 

[Kriken]

Metroid Soccer anyone?

 

[Toxi]

Metroid Prime Hunters+Football=BLASTBALL

I'm actually really intrigued by this idea. A first-person shooter focused on shooting a ball into a goal instead of shooting other players.

 

[AAMARMO]

Its look like Next Level Game

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Looks like a retro studios game. I hope it is. The salt would be glorious.

 

[BatDan]

So what's the excuse going to be that this "doesn't count" as a new IP?

 

[Dugna]

It's metroid not metroid, nintendo trolling metroid fans.

 

[openrob]

Nintendo redefining FPS after redefining TPS.

 

[daripad]

Multiplayer game

After Splatoon, I need more of them, Nintendo must have some good ideas

 

[thechristoph]

Awesome game design experts ITT.

 

[grandjedi6]

Metroid Prime Hunters, is that you?

 

[Pokemaniac]

I'm getting a serious Metroid Prime vibe from this game's HUD. Wonder if this is from Nintendo Software Technology.

 

[maxcriden]

The Metroid ElectricBlanketFire was hoping for!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Looks a lot like Protocol by Sabarasa that got canned for WiiWare.

 

[Son Of D]

So what's the excuse going to be that this "doesn't count" as a new IP?

No recognisable characters or eshop only of course.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Looks like a retro studios game. I hope it is. The salt would be glorious.

NST made Prime Hunters on DS if I'm remembering so maybe it's them.

 

[schlongdog]

It looks like Rocket League



but without the fun

 

[Captain_Spanky]

Nintendo are really pushing in to fps/competitive multiplayer and trying to expand it. Another great, interesting concept. Reminds me of the foot ball game in Anarchy Reigns. The visual identity could be stronger though.

 

[cooljeanius]

I love it when Nintendo does crazy stuff like this...

 

[mrndkra]

Oh so this is what Samus has been up to

 

[Fou-Lu]

I honestly think this looks fun.

 

[SalvaPot]

Metroid Prime Soccer.

 

[Exterminieren]

Well, that's one way to get an FPS on 3DS, I suppose.

It's no looker, but it's sufficiently different from the rest of the 3DS lineup that I'm interested. Hope it's another Garage IP.

 

[Dunkley]

Is this one of the Garage games?

 

[FyreWulff]

sup Grifball

 

[jersoc]

This reminds me of Bombing run from UT2k4

 

[gillty]

Metroid Prime Hunters is back.

Yesssssss.

 

[Par Score]

What the hell odds could you have gotten for Nintendo's next two new IPs to both be team based, goal based, shooters?

It's cool, but also so far out of left field it's unreal.
