Considering the entire purpose of a trailer is to sell a product, no, I don't have any revulsion towards trailers doing what trailers are supposed to do.

I do have a revulsion for complete butthurtery reinforcing bad logic and thinking though, so your post is legitimately making me queasy.

i didn't intend for this to be some "aha, gotcha!" moment, but like, your reaction to trailers is a bit questionable and framing of info re: federation force is a bit problematic. i don't really get your issue. nintendo released a trailer. in it, they provided a brief overview of what the game entails, which is commendable, because the federation force reveal offered more information than most typical reveal trailers. nintendo followed this up with a more comprehensive overview of it during the treehouse live segment. again, this is commendable: the more information we have about a game up front so we can make up our minds, the better. this is a bit of a double-edged sword, as there has been a recent phenomena of gamers' ignorance of the creative process and cutting/retooling of content leading to some hostility in certain communities, but that's a tangent and not really relevant here. how did people react to this reveal? poorly. they didn't like it. they were given ample information, and came to the conclusion that this is a bad idea. why is this a bad thing? why is the only acceptable reaction in this scenario, "cool! thanks nintendo." what's the harm here?

the game is just a bad concept all around. the 3ds is not designed for first person shooters. you need either an uncomfortable peripheral to approach, but not quite reach, usability, or you use the n3ds nub, which is not versatile enough to simulate a right stick. add in ideas nobody asked for, like co-op multiplayer campaigns and 3v3 blast ball multiplayer, to the first new game in an assumed-dead franchise, and you're just begging for bad reactions.

a confession: i have, in the past, enjoyed metroid games, since apparently that's the angle you're shooting for.
another confession: i don't care if there isn't another metroid game, and it's not because nintendo poisoned the well with two bad games.
