It should be possible using homebrew, using a patch or by manually configuring the controls. Can someone please help me out? Thanks.
Hacking How to play Metroid Other M using the nunchuk?

I did it....sort of !
I played it with an xbox360 controller in Dolphin.
In Dolphin it's possible to remap just about anything to everything.
But that's emulation, you need a beefy PC and it's not the real thing ( maybe better ? ) so.........AFAIK there's no other way.

Have you tried Ocarina Cheats? I think i remember seeing stuff in there about remapping button for games. but i cuold be wrong.
There are actually ocarina cheat codes that allow to remap controls in certain games, like the b to pound down and roll instead of shaking the wii remote in Donkey Kong Country returns, or the remapping of the aiming/action buttons in Resident Evil 4 , however for Metroid other M it would be extremely difficult to create such codes because of the complexity of the seemingly simple controls.
Somebody might be able to remap the d-pad on the nunchuck, however:
- A code would be required to trick the game into thinking that the nunchuck is not connected, otherwise you get a message to disconnect it.
- In order to shoot missiles and aim, the Wii remote has to be turned toward the TV, thus triggering the firs person view.
So if you are using a nunchuk and the wii remote would be held in the normal vertical position, you'd be in constant first person view, then you'll need additional codes to trick the game into thinking that the wii remote is horizontal.
- Then, you'll need another code to remap the rotation of the wii remote to a button so that you can enter and exit first person view at anytime.
As you see, it's more complicated then just remap the d[ad to the nunchuck, but if anybody can pull it off it would probaby make for a better game experience.

You're right, it's a bit complex, but it's doable, right? I think a lot of gamers would appreciate it. Is there any way to trick the game into thinking that the nunchuck is not connected? That's the most essential part imo.
I'll be surprised to see it happen. It's not that it isn't possible. But as far as remapping controls, this is a major undertaking compared to others. But on top of that, this is one of Nintendo's very few big title games that is not universally loved. I'm sure there are people with the skill to do it. We can already see there are people who care enough about the game. But this depends on somebody who belongs to both groups and also has no higher priorities for his free time.
The game that needs this worse than Metroid: Other M is Blaster Master: Overdrive. We were promised an update with Classic support, but it never materialized.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
