うるさい!!!
 I can't be bothered scouring through how ever many pages it is in order to find the RE main thread about GC games getting Wii controls so I'm just gonna make an entirely new one. Anyhow, Pikmin is getting the GC to Wii controls treatment, titled Wii de Asobu Pikmin (translated as Play on Wii: Pikmin). Kinda saddened that there isnt a full blown Pikmin Wii, but keeps Pikmin fans happy for now I guess? Seeing as how i never got to enjoy the experience that was Pikmin, i'll probably pick this up

 IGN says they're also doing the first two Metroid Prime games...

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.

Seven titles are currently on the way for the lineup. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat kicks things off on December 11, and will be followed by Pikmin on December 25. In 2009, Nintendo plans on releasing Chibi Robo!, Pikmin 2, Mario Tennis GC, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes.

These titles will be offered at budget pricing. While we're not sure just yet of the prices for all the games, Pikmin will sell for 3,800 yen, making it 2,000 yen less than your typical first part Wii title.

 This sounds like a ploy to divert money from the 2nd-game sales.

Smart move ninty, smart move.

Whilst I will hate myself for being tempted to buy games I already own, I think it's great for people who never owned a GC (which is almost everyone ;) ).

The one and only game I would really like to be included on the "Play on Wii" collections is Killer 7. I own it on the GC, but it would be amazing to play with Wii-controls.
