Release Date: July 21st 2016

Climb aboard your Mech and buckle up for adrenaline pumping sports action in Metroid Prime: Blast Ball! Go head to head in exhilarating, 3 on 3 multiplayer matches in this unique futuristic sport, combining the end-to-end thrills of football with mechanized mayhem and power-ups aplenty. A competitive team sport for up to six players, Blast Ball forms part of the basic training for the Federation Force. Players pilot their Mechs around the arena and shoot the ball using their blaster, with the ultimate objective of scoring three times in the opposition goal within the five minute time limit. Metroid Prime: Blast Ball can be enjoyed by up to six players simultaneously via Local Play or Download Play! With fast paced gameplay and quick fire matches, Blast Ball is the perfect pick up and play multiplayer experience. For those who prefer to play alone, Blast Ball can also be enjoyed in single player mode, with computer controlled players filling out the teams. Lock onto the ball to keep track of its location, strafe around it to find the perfect firing position, then refine your aim using motion controls to hit the ball home. Move about the arena to defend your goal or launch assaults on the opponent’s net. Fire quick, successive Power Shots to dribble the ball, or wind up a Charge Shot to send it soaring! The ball reacts differently depending on where you place your shots, so aim carefully using motion controls to pass and shoot with precision. You could target the underside of the ball, then unleash a massive blast to lob it right over the heads of the defending team! Being aware of your surroundings, aiming accurately and, most importantly, working closely with your team is all part of being a Federation Force soldier, using all of these skills in an action-packed sport is a great way for a would be soldier to prepare for life in the field! In a devious twist, scoring a goal causes the opposition’s goal to narrow, making it much more difficult to score again. When this happens, you’ll have to place your shots more accurately and launch the ball just right to get another goal! So get ready to go head to head with other players in a futuristic sport set in the Metroid universe!
