The problem with the 'fusion took away all the exploration argument'' is, imo, you only explore the game the first time.
Was Super Metroid worse on your 2nd/3rd/so on playthrough just because you knew the world? No.
Fusion doesn't hold your hand, it gives you a directive, and like entroper says, you figure out how to get there, and find hidden stuff on the way.
I'm not sure if I'd say it's *better* than Super Metroid, but it definitely holds its own.
