Do you like remakes of N64 or GC games that are put on the wii? I know I don't. Its just not the smae playing a Nintendo 64 or gamecube game on the wii than it was on the originals. It just spoils it.

What exactly do you mean by remakes? Like games that were made for the N64 or GC and then remade on the Wii with new Wii controls and all that? Has that even happened yet?

I don't think I've even heard of a N64 or GC game that was remade for the Wii except for Twilight Princess.

No, he's talking about the wii controls also...

There's a series that's gonna be released under the label "Play them on the Wii" which are a bunch of 10 GCN games with Wii controllers...

The list contains Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Pikmin 1 and 2, Chibi Robo, and I don't remember the other Five but i was disappointed that there was no Wind Waker there:(

I remember reading that in Nintendo Power, but BL was talking about N64 games on the Wii, which makes me think he's talking about Virtual console.

If Chibi Robo is in that list, I may have to buy a copy. I always intended to by it for the GCN but put it off and now it is impossible to find.

I know, but he also mentioned GCN ones... About the N64, i don't think they'd spend money releasing, for example, OoT with Wii controls... it wouldn't fit much, and a wii disc should be able to port like 10 n64 games or so

I don't care to be really, New Play Control is just for the millions of new Wii owners who are not aware of the GameCube and the Wii's backward compatibility.

I'm not much a fan for it. I mean, as much as I love the games being introduced to a newer generation of players (I shouldn't be the one to talk, but then again, I have a ColecoVision and a Nintendo 64), but they would never fully understand how the controllers would make the games feel comfortable. I tried playing OoT on the Wii's Virtual Console (Brawl Demo), and it didn't feel like the OoT I grew up with (The one I bought roughly 2 years ago) with the innovation in the shape of the controls and the design of the controller.

I enjoyed Wind Waker for its dedication to something similar without having to have the C buttons on a joystick. However, the NES games are similar with the Wii Remote, since they are both necessaryly the same thing: A long controller with an A and B (Or 1 and 2) button set, D Pad, and a Start and Select button set. The SNES controller meshes almost perfectly with the Gamecube controller, and yet I have to bash the N64 being emulated with the Gamecube Controller.

I have yet to play with the Virtual Console Controller, may I remind you, even though its shape and design look fairly similar to the Gamecube's controller. I'm not dissing the Virtual Console or Wii remakes, but I'm saying that the games that were designed for their console were truly made for their console and nothing else.

If you mean the New Play Control games, then I am for them. They give me a chance to play games I may not have played before, or if I have, there's a new spin to them. I will definitely be picking up both Metroids, and will probably give Pikmin a try. If they did any Zelda games, then I would be all in for those as well.

Plus, I have never been of a mind that anything like this is bad. They will get new players into games who may not even know what they are, and if sales are good, they increase the chance of all new sequels being made. It's esentially a cheap marketing questionaire in some way.

Also, Nintendo isn't forcing me to buy these, so if I really didn't want to play them, why should I be upset that they are making them? I just can look the other way and buy what I want.
