Via Gamasutra, the sultry developer-themed site, we learn a bit more from the interview with Japanese consumer mag Nintendo Dream that has already revealed LOZ: Twilight Princess will now feature a more “hack and slash” Wiimote controlled interface. The other news is that GameCube games from times past could be getting a control scheme update to complement the free motion control of the Wii.
Now, we all know that Nintendo has already indicated some of its Virtual Console titles may receive some improvements simply because they will be emulated on the faster Wii CPU, but there hasn’t been specific info about what the actual impovements would be.
Gamasutra also noted that in addition to the control and graphical improvements, Miyamoto also indicated that the revamped games would be sold at a “substantially lower price” than usual. Miyamoto said he hoped that other developers would also follow suit. I for one say bring ’em on (again), because you can’t have too much of a good thing. Just make sure the price is right, because that’s what Bob Barker said, and he’s tough because he beat up that guy who’s in all those movies that are the same thing but with different titles.
Why bother spending time on old games when you can make new games? And the idea of rebuying a game doesn't appeal to me.
Punch Drunk Love wasn't the same thing with a different title…
Ok. So I have like 40 GC games and if I want that upgrade I have to buy them again? why not just add a patch or something?
well I think you still will be able to play those gamecube games without the upgrade…just ur old games with the old controller..But the other news is much great…Zelda TP with a hack and slash control sheme…yipppiiieeee…Nintendo again was able to read my wishes..because that was the only thing I didn't like about the Zelda TP for Wii..aaah…I LOVE NINTENDO!!!
Well, I am excited about the news of the old GC games revamped for the Wii controler! Although I thought Nintendo would simply have an option to "map" the GC controler buttons and sticks onto the Wii free hand controler… wouldn't that be easier and cheaper for the company, and give gamers more options??
Well, he does say that he can't imagine charging people full price for something they already bought a few times (ahem, Depeche Mode .. The Cure .. Star Wars ..)A better question is, what would you like to see re-done for Wii control?I'll say it (like a broken freakin record): CHIBI-ROBO!!On second thought, I'd rather see stuff like Chibi-Robo, Pikmin, Mario Party, etc. get a new release on Wii.
This comment is the first mis-step by Nintendo in my opinio.Check the multiformat sites and it's already "it's a GameCube with an infrared bar"Not true clearly but it gives the other lot some fuel….
