At the Nintendo TGS Conference, quite a few of some Gamecube games were announced to be remade onto the Wii.

The games are:
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Pikmin
Pikmin 2
Chibi-Robo
Mario Power Tennis
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
I'll be looking forward to Pikmin, and Mario Tennis has always been a favorite for me :)
So...Gamecube games will be outfitted with the Wii's Control Scheme as a remake?

Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
F***ing awesome! I've been waiting for this for quite a while now...
Will anything new be added?
Otherwise, I'm not spending $50 on the same game I bought years ago, no matter how good.
I do like Jungle Beat, though....
The article used the Resident Evil game as an example, if that helps figure things out any. I don't know if how similarly they'll do with these though...
Although the Metroid games would be really awesome, I think this screams LAZY ASSHOLES GET ON MAKING REAL GAMES INSTEAD OF BEING CHEAP BASTARDS AND RE-RELEASING EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER MADE A MILLION TIMES!
Oh....sorry bout that...hehehe...
Yea, I think this is stupid. I may take an interest in Metroid Prime and Luigi's Mansion (if they were to do that game...seriously that game was so underrated!) but those are the only two. Instead of Wii-ifying Pikmins 1 and 2, why not just put those teams onto making Pikmin 3 so we can get it out sooner!?

Maybe when Miyamoto said "We're making Pikmin", he meant the Wii remake.
They are making a new Pikmin and both of the remakes.

Don't get worried, Nintendo seems to finally be doing something decent after the TGS Conference.

I hope they do Luigi's Mansion, that game was awesome.
I'd much rather have them make real, new games. :-\
However, I didn't get a chance to play many of those games.
My computer won't let me go on the friendcodes site for some reason, but the aussie site said
"Nintendo of Europe has confirmed that the range won't be limited to Japan, with a representative saying: 'The GameCube conversions will be available across Europe too.'"
Is there a reason they specifically did not mention America? Are they skipping out on us?
