How about FPS/TPS Metroid Hybrid?

I think scanning for notes and using thermal vision and stuff by holding the game pad up would be a pretty nifty way to use the pad in Metroid. With a map and weapon stuffs when you're not using those features of course.

I dream of a world where we can have Metroid threads without someone going off topic and harping on about Other M. We get it. You're afraid of change. Let's move on.
