Metroid is back … on the 3DS.

Nintendo just announced Metroid Prime: Federation Force for its portable gaming device. Instead of focusing on a lonely solo adventure, this take on the sci-fi franchise is a four-player cooperative game. Multiple people — all in bulky Samus-looking suits — can team on to take on challenges and adventures. This also comes with Blast Ball, the 3-on-3 soccer-shooting game we saw during the Nintendo World Championships. It is due out in 2016.

We don’t know much else about Metroid Prime: Federation Force at this point. Nintendo only shared a handful of clips from the game. With it not coming out until next year, the publisher probably won’t share many more details until later.

We’ll try to get our hands on with it from the E3 show floor.
