If you had that much trouble to beat Metroid Prime 1 & 2 on their default difficulty, then it's likely that you played Corruption on normal and never again. That's the only plausible explanation how you could form such an ill-informed opinion.

I rarely play a game more than once.  I only got about halfway through Prime 3 a second time before I realized I had too many other games to play.  However, whenever I play a game a second time, I up the difficulty.  But I compared Prime 3's normal difficulty with Prime 1 and Prime 2's normal difficulties.  Which isn't ill informed.  They are indeed drastically different.  Hell, the difference between Prime 2 and 3 makes it seem like the games aren't even related.  It doesn't matter if the higher difficulties added a bit more challenge, because then what you're doing is comparing Prime 2's normal difficulty with Prime 3's hardest.  I'm not ill-informed, and you're comparing apples and oranges. 

Yes, you are ill-informed.

MP and Echoes Normal = Corruption Veteran

MP and Echoes Hard = Corruption Hyper

Corruption Normal is an easy mode that didn't exist in the previous two games until it was added in Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Since when are the words "Normal" and "Easy" synonyms?  The standard difficulty of the games is still very different, and having an "easy" moded added to the Prime series just furthers my point that Nintendo wanted it watered down for the Blue Ocean crowd.  You're still comparing different difficulty modes as equals.  So... yeah.  I think I'm going to stop here, since I think you're going to continue to defend this silliness, thus making this pointless.

Metroid Prime 1 & 2 Normal difficulty is still inequal (=/=) to the Normal difficulty in Prime 3.  Prime 3 is still easier.  The only difference I noted from Normal difficulty to Veteran in the game was that Veteran seemed to move faster--and that was it.  Oh wait, that's why I stopped playing (besides having other stuff to play), I was still having motion-sickness problems with some FPS titles.  The faster movement was giving me headaches. 

That's weird, I must've gotten over that problem since then--I play a lot of FPS titles on the Xbox 360 and haven't had even the slightest problem with any queasiness from the movement.  Hey, maybe it's because I experienced way worse motion sickness issues during 2009 and 2010...
