A Metroid Prime port would work pretty well on the 3DS given the system's capabilities. I know that remakes are not what everyone wants to see, but if we're going to be getting remakes anyways, why not this one?
I'd prefer a new game. I actually think an Other M-style game would be fun on the 3DS.

I disagree. Other M had too many problems.

I'd take the game if its gameplay was changed a bit, character development was more appropiate, and if it was a lot longer.

A Metroid Prime port
Three words: Yes. Yes. Yes.
Honestly, I don't even have a 3DS yet. I fell behind after I couldn't get it for my birthday or Christmas. If they did a good remake of
Metroid Prime, I'd want a 3DS even more.

Awkward control scheme. Repetitive combat. Uninteresting boss mechanics.
Finishers were cool, but there needed to be more of them.
The 3DS is entirely capable of handling GCN ports. Of course, it doesn't have the absolute clusterintercourse of buttons, but it has a touch screen which things could be assigned to easily. And of course all the fancy stuff about graphics and processing and stuff like that.
I'd buy a Metroid Prime 3D.

I don't think so. Besides the buttons, it has a lot less raw power. Games need to be built from the ground-up on it to look good.

I mentioned the buttons. In fact, labeled buttons on the bottom screen would be just as good, as physical buttons. It worked fine in OoT3D.
Also I don't see how the 3DS can't handle the GCN. I'm pretty sure it's advanced enough to take whatever 2002 can throw at it.

It depends on which buttons you're talking about. Not every button would work on the touchscreen.
We've already had two
PS2 ports that needed frame rate cuts to run on 3DS. 3DS is a platform with some advanced graphical features, but it lacks raw power. From everything I've seen, it's on-par with PS2 at best and a PSP with better shaders at worst.

All that the 3DS doesn't have is Z and the C stick. Z could easily be put on the touch screen, but the C-stick might need a little playing around. The absence of a second analog stick could be a problem, but the GCN's D-pad and C-stick are rarely, if ever, used together so a point where the 3DS's D-pad couldn't take the C functions, with the D-pad controls being placed on the touch screen.
3DS games seem to look better than PSP games for some reason.
I haven't exactly looked up the specs and compared both but when I compare games, the 3DS' library is flat out prettier.
its entirely the result of art direction (something that nintendo is very good at)
but that matters more than technical capabilities anyway

Better shader effects and better engines. Though, 3DS is definitely more powerful than PSP. It's just a question of how much.

Resident Evil Revelations in particular really stands out. Not like it looks like anything on Vita but its pretty impressive.

No.
