Let’s Play On Wii - GameCube re-Wiileases with added remote controls
In amongst the melee of new game info yesterday, I only briefly referenced one of Nintendo’s most interesting announcements - that it will be bringing a host of GameCube classics to Wii at budget prices. While initially it seemed that the games would be direct ports, evidence so far from screenshots and videos suggests that the first two releases in the range - Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and Pikmin, which hit Japan on 11th and 25th December this year respectively - will both feature Wii-enhanced controls. Though “enhanced” is pushing it in the first instance, even if - now I’ve thought about it - the remote and nunchuk shaking is a just-about-acceptable compromise. Certainly it should work better than the similar bongo-free controls in DK Jet Race/Barrel Blast.
A translation of this Famitsu page suggests that the two Metroid Prime games, Pikmin 2 and Mario Tennis are on the way, while other sources also suggest that much-overlooked cult classic Chibi-Robo! is due a Wii-appraisal.
That’s enough Wii puns for now.
