Re-releasing Gamecube games on the Wii? Wasn't this a joke thread?

Yeah I've been off watching Cinderella Man and I come on here and this was the first thread I saw. I didn't realize the conference was on. I am thoroughly impressed by everything I'm hearing from Nintendo. It sucks this had to be done in Japan first, because watching a live stream of these announcements would have been epic.

So it's Pikmin on disc with new controls then? No, DD? Very interesting. Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime would also be great shoe-ins for this.

 

Oh....Metroid.  I actually threw it in the Wii the other night and as good a game as it is, it's hard going back to traditional controls now.  How about a Metroid pack (Prime and Echoes) with IR controls.
