For those asking for the new Pikmin. It's confirmed to be in the work by Dunaway.

Buy more Chibi Robo!

Yikes, I'm not a fan of that price. Hopefully the NA versions will be a bit cheaper since the Gamecube sold better over there.

I like the idea of all of these except Donkey Kong. That game already had fun and inventive controls with the bongoes. Unless they've really thought up something great, I don't see how this won't be like the step backwards that was the waggle in Donkey Kong something or other mario kart like game.

But yes please on the Metroid Prime. Considering it's one of my favourite games, I'm quite curious to see it Wii-ified.
Of course, if the can accommodate Prime's weapon system with the Wiimotes fewer buttons, why did they have to gimp Corruption's weapon choices?

I shall be buying prime, having not got it on the Cube. I doubt i'll buy Pikmin 1/2 or metroid prime 2 due to owning them on the ol gc

stof, it wont be a problem, the only thing Prime 1 uses that Wiimtoe doesnt have is a c stick, which can easily be mapped to either the d pad or motion controls of the nunchuk

this is not the new pikmin

Cammie Dunaway clears up Pikmin confusion

When Play on Wii was announced, we all wondered if this was the Pikmin that Shigeru Miyamoto talked about back at E3. According to Cammie Dunaway, it is not and Nintendo is in fact working on a brand new Pikmin game.

When asked about the confusion, Cammie said this Play on Wii game is "not the Pikmin that Mr. Miyamoto referred to" and that "Mr. Miyamoto referred to a new Pikmin, as opposed to the classics that are being rereleased on Wii." So, aside from selling us old games again, Nintendo also wants to sell us new games. Sounds good to us!

Im with stof on this one - 35 bucks feels like a bit much for these remakes - i feel that 25 or 30 would have been far more reasonable (roughly half of the regular wii games).

Granted, i still very much like the idea - killer 7 with wii controls would be awesome, but yeah....i dont like that price point.

also - @misteromar - im more of a fan of pikmin 1 actually. i feel it hard more charm than the 2nd game, and because of the split-screen nature of the co-op i dont know how well that would work with wii controls. but meh, you're right - people should probably get the latter over the first.

I'm guessing it will be cheaper in NA. In Europe, there aren't as many used stores, or old-game bins, and it is difficult to find GC games for under 25 euros.  A slightly higher price for Wii-ified games seems logical.

In NA, they probably aren't going to be able to sell it for more than 25 dollars (assuming NA has as many used game bins and such as I believe).
