"It was a great package. You had Blast Ball, which was this really interesting 3-player, sci-fi football. Then you also had Federation Force, a separate game itself which was this 4-player bounty hunter game, and it's a shame because... because it didn't feature Samus, fans were very very critical. Samus appears a tiny bit much later into the game. And And so because of that, it was seen 'we don't want this version, get rid of it, and give us the one that we want.' And it's unfortunate for Federation Force because it got a bad rap, it wasn't the game which people felt it was."
