Here's another problem regarding Nintendo: they asked the fanbase what went wrong with Other M. They undoutedly got more than enough feedback to make the next title, at the very least, a DECENT Metroid title. All that feedback apparently went to the trash when Nintendo decided to make Federation Force 6 years later. I can safely assume no one asked for that.

As RoyboyX said about Metroid Prime Pinball, that spinoff is much more justified than Federation Force for the reasons he mentioned.
