Metroid Prime 3, issues with controls - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

Hi, I'm new here to the forums. I have a question concerning Metroid Prime 3. I have just recently got into the Metroid series. I started with Prime 1 on the Gamecube and then Prime 2 as well. I must say they are masterful games, and I love them so much! So, I decided to get Prime 3 on the Wii. When I started it, the Wii's controls completly frustrated me. It does not feel comforable at all to me. I did not even finish beating the first boss at the Federation's HQ. That was like two weeks ago. I wish I could just pop in the Gamecube control and play like that. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can play this better? Many people claim that the Wii controls are superior to the Gamecube's. I really love the Prime series and I really want to play the third part, but the controls are in my way. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Turning and looking at the center is also impossible in Prime 3, which makes moving around harder.

I find movement to also be quite a bit easier with Wii controls, as you can easily aim and/or turn, strafe, and move forward all at once and very fluidly. You also have easy access to a jump button while doing all of that.

Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.

Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

It took me a while to get used to the controls as well (just like with any new controller).
When my arm gets tired from pointing I will either pause the game (I think that re-centers the cursor) or hold the Z trigger to prevent the camera from spinning all over the place.
