Lets hope Nintendo celebrates with Other M special edition featuring extended cutscenes and documentary The Uterus Behind the Power Beam: The Maternal Story of Samus Aran
well, next year is one of the milestones that really matters for m2k2 and then the year after is m2k2's 10th anniversary (10th and 25th seem to be the most popular numbers for this kind of stuff)
The jump physics and graphics could use a bit of tweaking, but they're mostly solid. It's really just the controls that need work, and while it's good that there are hacks with them fixed, it would be better to have an official game like that.
The only thing I don't like about the controls is constantly having to hold down run. Other than that, they're fine in my book. And I don't care about the weapon switching. Complaining about that is like complaining about Prime using one analog stick for both movement and looking around.
Having to hold down a run button is kind of really annoying. As is weapon switching, in my opinion.
As far as Prime goes, the original's controls are less than optimal, too. Unless you're speed running (and yeah, I know that's a big "unless" on this site, but still), the Trilogy version is a lot more fun.
