Ugly designs

How do you know it was a failure? By the time it came out, people were starved for a new Metroid-ish title.

Came out at an extremely bad time. Metroid other M was basically September 11 for Metroid fans and federation forces was like family guy making fun of the twin towers destruction ONE DAY after it happened.

It sold between 30k and 150k lifetime sales, it was a massive failure.

They should stop pushing muh Federation into Metroid games
No one likes it

Yeah, but completely tone deaf though. Imagine if instead of MM11 to revive Megaman, Capcom released some experimental spin off mobile game

They're doing the same thing with Star Fox now.
Shit makes me want to fly to Japan with my Xbox in hand and play some Halo Co-Op with a Nintendo employee and try to describe why it worked on westerners.
