I loved the gameplay of Other M, with the excption of the OP dodge mechanics and shoehorned motion controls(the first person "find the pixels the devs were thinking of").  I think what people hate is the story and character portrayal of Samus. 

I actually have almost as much of a problem with the gameplay as with the story.

In addition to the issues you mentioned, it has tons of flaws in my view; the fixed camera that often has you unable to see ahead of you when moving towards the screen, the stupid health system, (they should have just used powerups like prior games) the sections where you are forced to walk slowly from A to B with nothing happening, the inherent problems of using D-Pad movement in 3D space, the inability to move in first person view but being forced into it to use missiles, the list goes on and on.

So, I guess Xenoblade Chronicles X doesn't count, then? XD

XCX is a good start, but its just one game; they need more like it.

 It proves that Nintendo is still completely capable (and certainly has the "guts") to fund and making grim, beautiful, ambitious games. Nintendo's never really made many of these types of games. Even Metroid Prime, I wouldn't really call "grim" or "ambitious". Where it excels is level design and atmosphere.
