I figured since most people are still angry about this game. It's most likely they haven't read or seen anything else about the game besides the announcement trailer from the Digital Event.
I tried to find all info that has been released so far about the game.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force Blast Ball
- includes Blast Ball, which is a 3-on-3 sci-fi sport mode
- shoot a ball into the opponents goal to score
- gain a competitive edge by collecting and using a variety of individual power-ups, such as barriers
- match ends when a team scores three goals
- send the Blast Ball game for free to other Nintendo 3DS owners via Nintendo 3DS Download Play
- being hit with the ball will damage your suit
- take too much damage and you'll have to wait to respawn
- Movement is mapped to the Circle Pad, 'B' jumps and 'A' fires your cannon, either in rapid bursts or a charged shot
- holding down 'R' allows you to strafe with the Circle Pad or fine-tune your aim with the gyroscope
- holding 'L' locks onto the ball
- while locked on to the ball, your mech's lateral movement is much slower
- C-stick on the New 3DS demo units wasn't used in the demo

Tanabe: Personally, I dont feel like I am creating anything that is a side-story. Until now, weve never had a game focusing on the Federation Force fighting against the space pirates. So the main idea here is that I sort of wanted to change that focus a little bit and see it from a different view from the same universe. So as I briefly mentioned earlier, once you play the game youll be able to feel that Metroid Prime universe. So its kind of... at this point its a little difficult Im sure for both sides to get that idea ...for players who havent touched the game, its really difficult to imagine that feeling you get when you touch the game. So its a kind of an unfortunate situation at this time, but its something I definitely look forward to having the users touch it and play and experience the awesomeness of it.
