One more comment... I'd love to see Nintendo release a "TP - remixed" in a years time (or so). All the textures/graphics to be upped to Wii standards, maybe voice added, controls tweaked, gameplay issues fixed (not that I can count many).
Besides the fact that Nintendo just wouldn't do this, I could see increasing the texture detail being very tricky because the Wii has the same texture cache as the GC.
Considering the aims of the Wii design: cheap, binary-compatible with the GC, I think Nintendo did all they really needed to increasing the clocks (especially the GPU, which got the much bigger bump), and adding some auxiliary memory... but the one bottle-neck they really needed to address and apparently didn't was the on-die GPU cache.
