Other M had some good game play ideas and some not so good ones.
In general, if I could ask for a full on remake of a Metriod game that took some of the ideas of the original but went out of its way to make it a brand new product based on some of the key features, my first pick would be Metriod 2, either Prime style for maximum horror engagement or Other M style for maximum crafting building on the 2.5D game play.
