Other M didn't have control issues.  On the contrary, it pioneeered a new type of gameplay that has been years in the making.

You can claim they needed more buttons or using missiles with the motion controls was a bad move.  But you can't really claim the game itself has bad controls when no other game has done what Other M did.  I still contend the gameplay of the game itself was sound.  They could have made a few tweaks here and there, but it wouldn't have changed much.  And the 3DS wouldn't be able to 'improve' a game that was specifically made around a unique game engine and the WiiMote.

 

If Other M truly pioneered a new type of gameplay, it would've caught on and been used in more games.  But it appeared only in Metroid Other M.  

I would say that the fact that Other M's particularly bad gameplay set-up has appeared only in Metroid Other M is testament to how crappy it was.
