Dang, that's a bold claim.  My main issue with Prime 3 isn't the motion controls.  My main issue is that the worlds aren't connected in the same way so your ability to stay "in the game" lessens.  The animation in particular when you travel in your ship is jarring.  You can actually see the seams in the outer space shots that show you it is a stitched together image.  It also isn't as satisfying to travel via Samus' gunship as it is to take a random tunnel into an area you once were.  The first Prime did this especially well and it makes you feel like you are playing in a cohesive world. I really hope they ditch the travelling mechanic in MP4 and focus on one interconnected planet.

Really? That's your issue? I loved that there were multiple planets. Made it feel like she was in a galaxy full of life, like each planet she was on was part of a much larger universe. The animation could be fixed in a remaster. For MP4, why not just have really big planets like Prime, with regions connected by elevators like Prime, but just...more than one of them? Like, you know, multiple Prime 1 and Prime 2 sized planets?

It's just not as cohesive.  It makes it feel like different levels as opposed to one organic whole.  It's the difference between a Mario game and a Metroid game.  Now if a Mario game would have interconnected worlds (not warp zones) then that would be super awesome.
