I think the 3DS controls can fix all the control issues of Metroid Other M

A Wiimote/Nunchuk setup would trump any control scheme you could come up with on the 3DS, because it gives you instant access to 360° degree movement while at the same time it's possible to freely aim at every possible spot on the screen.

Metroid on the 3DS should be a sidescroller like Super Metroid, because Other M style would require the game to rely on semi-automatic shooting mechanics once again.

A Metroid game with a third-person view and IR pointer aiming?  Yes, please.
