So while I was living under a rock in the desert I guess that Federation Force game came out. Is it any good?
I just dusted off my wii and found my old copy of the prime trilogy that I never played past the first game on, and my friend keeps hitting me up about some metroid 2 remake that nintendo keeps trying to shut down. What should I play first?
Fed Farce pretty much did nothing to help mend things between Nintendo and Metroid fans after Other M and six years (I think) of nothing, and DMCAing AM2R just added to that. I suspect that, had Federation Force released alongside an actual Metroid title that made an effort to avoid coming anywhere close to Other M, it might not have had the reception it did, but it's pretty much a kick in the sack as things are.
Anyhow, try checking the vola or share threads for AM2R, some user can probably hook you up with the most recent version since once something's on the net, it's on the net regardless of attempts to remove it.

I foresee great things for Metroid on the Switch.

I can grab a copy via usb any time really, I live in a place where internet is so shit that rather than sending links we jog to each other's homes with usbs and portable drives when we have something to share.
Does it have single cart play or does everybody need a cart for proper multi? Because I have some people I could do local with but getting people to actually buy things is a different matter.

Well, AM2R's not real big in filesize at about 80 MB as a zip. Just saying, even on a shitty connection I doubt it would take all that long.

Well, I went and bought federation force, and I would love an actual metroid prime game with these controls. The only fix I really need is a combined control scheme, that lets you use gyro controls and the secondary stick. On it's own the gyro control is actually pretty accurate, but having turning and movement on a single stick is terrible and turning more than 180 with the gyro is an exercise in looking and feeling stupid. Control scheme B plays like a standard FPS, but the secondary stick is really substandard, and a full sized stick or allowing for mixing in the gyro controls for more precision aiming would be nice.
In more detail on the gyro controls, you hold R to enable them and there's a secondary mode when you're locked on the gyro controls still work but in a limited area, basically just letting you input lead. That works pretty nicely, and you can enable the secondary gyro control in the traditional two stick scheme as well, but it feels awkward.

Why would you do that The final boss fight is just a game of Blast Ball with Samus as the ball I'm dead fucking serious
