umm...from what i read they are bring GC games over directly without making any changes to the games (i.e. - not utilizing the wiimote)

From IGN:

Pikmin is just one game in Nintendo's new Wii De Asobu Selection lineup, which translates to "Play on the Wii Selection." This series will consist of GameCube games updated with Wiimote controls.

In the press conference they made no mention of new controls, just the games being rereleased on the Wii.

Yeah, I hate it when I have more and better games to play, those Nintendo guys suck.

Why would you even assume that?  There's no good reason to assume that unless they specifically mention that because that means they would have to go back on each individual titles and rework all the controls.  That would take a lot of money and it just wouldn't be worth it.

Until they say the controls are going to be reworked, I would just not get my panties in a bunch and assume they aren't.

If you look up a few posts, IGN is quoted as saying new controls. I don't know if they translated it right, but you can see why people (including myself) would think that there are new controls.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I don't know, IGN is the ONLY place reporting that as far as I can see.  Making new controls just doesn't make sense because that would be a lot of time and money devoted to something that wouldn't be that big of a return.

I'm not pissed. As long as wii controls are well adapted and its no where above $20.

From Wired liveblog of NA conference:

Apparently they're actually upgrading these GameCube games with Wii controls, and it includes the Metroid Prime games, so if those reports are correct, we'll have Wiimote-enabled versions of those games... interesting.
