Motion Controls

Motion Controls, also known as Config A, are a control configuration in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. It is the default control scheme for players who have a basic Nintendo 3DS without a Circle Pad Pro, or a New Nintendo 3DS, which has a right analog aiming stick built into it. Using Motion Controls, players can aim by holding the R button and tilting the 3DS, which is somewhat similar to the controls of the original Metroid Prime. However, unlike Prime, movement is possible while freely aiming. With this control scheme, Federation Force members can lock-on to enemies and aim freely at the same time, as with the Wii versions of the Prime Series games.

Manual
"When using Config A, moving your system while pressing [R] will also move your weapon sights in the game.



''When playing this game, you may have to move the Nintendo 3DS system around. Make sure you have enough room before playing, and hold the system firmly with both hands while playing. Do not move the system with excessive force, as this could cause injuries, damage to the product, or damage to nearby objects."''
