Pikmin and other GameCube games re-releasing on the Wii

Oh and, all Miyamoto said was:

"We’re making Pikmin."

This could very well be the Wii Pikmin game.

Is/was this the game "announcement everyone is waiting for" (that was scheduled for Thurs.)?

Nintendo has gone completely batshit crazy. Re-releasing Gamecube games....really? If any of you re-buy those Gamecube games then bitch about how Nintendo doesn't do anything new and exciting anymore... you should jump off a bridge.

Nintendo has figured out that you are retarded and would buy piece of man-shit as long as it had a familiar Nintendo character stuck to it.

Oh sure Hamza, that would be hilarious...let's hope it's not the case.

Also, I have to wonder if they're just going to keep producing them on Gamecube discs, just with different packaging indicating that they work on Wii.

Reprinting the Gamecube discs I can understand, but slapping it on a Wii DVD with added waggle? No thanks.

there are two sides to this...if they make it a good port, sell it cheap, and minimize the crap out of the waggle I'll be all for it.

other than that...I'd rather see them make some new games instead of spending their time/money on Pikmin 2: Waggle Edition

Reprinting the Gamecube discs I can understand, but slapping it on a Wii DVD with added waggle? No thanks.

Wow people love to complain just for the sake of complaining these days! What the hell do you think the new Pikmin 3 is going to be? Its just going to be a sequel with pointer functionality AKA "waggle" to people like you.

If you love Pikmin so much then you'd think you would be happy that Nintendo is bringing back the franchise that you love to a whole new audience, but no you have to look at it like its wrong. If you don't like it then don't buy them again, and just wait for the true sequel when it comes out!

If it supports 60Hz mode, then it will please my European heart. This is a good thing for people who have a hard time finding classic Gamecube games these days. No one is forcing you others into buying it.

No, I'd cry..

...but I've already played Pikmin and most of the other gamecube games. Yeah Rifter, that pikmin is totally giving Olimar the finger.

Package it together with Pikmin 2 on one disc then we have a deal.

Look at Mother 1+2 in Japan. That is almost done right.

Metroid Prime 1+2 could also work.

Also I approve of Wind Waker port if it's reworked to include more dungeons.

"Wouldn't it just be HILARIOUS if this GameCube remake is the Pikmin game Miyamoto was referring to at E3?!"

Ummm..No. No it wouldn't.

Considering I still haven't played Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 2 and Luigi's Mansion, I welcome this.

If they add in Wii controls, this could be good. Several Gamecube games like Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin could have benefitted from them.

monkeyspoon5: I'd approve of Windwaker port if they had a hard difficulty setting that had any challenge whatsoever.

Where are people getting the idea that these are in any way "ports" though? Or that they'll be coming out on full-size DVDs?

With the information released so far I don't see any reason to believe that they won't just be the original GameCube discs repackaged in a white box with a "Plays on Wii" sticker in the corner?

Seriously, why even have a "Plays on Wii" brand if they were going to do any porting or make the discs look native? It's not like most Wii owners would even notice that it was the same game being re-released from 6 years ago.

I would laugh quite heavily.

Never played MP2 or the Pikman's. Gimme.
