Gameplay
The game consists of three modes: An unnamed singe-player mode and two multiplayer modes: Federation Force and Blast Ball.
Reception
Upon its reveal at E3 2015, it caused fan outcry, due to the five-year wait since Metroid: Other M, as fans assumed the game lacked any form of singeplayer mode, Metroids, or Samus. This was proven false by the producer, Kensuke Tanabe. When the game was first revealed, a petition began on Change.org. Within 24 hours, it had 7,500 signatures.[citation needed]
