    After reading this, not much can come to mind, other than a great big, fat WTF.

      There wasn't much announced as far as specific titles, but you know how Nintendo is. It'll continue reviving old games to milk it dry again, let it sit for a while, then milk it some more. Unfortunately Mario's not so lucky; he's milked day in and day out.

    Sounds interesting enough. I really do wonder about the "classics" bit though. =0

    I don't get it. Why re release GameCube games for Wii when you can play GameCube games on Wii? It makes no sense.

    It seems what they're doing is making GameCube games that won't play on a GameCube.

    Ah well, they probably won't get released outside of Japan anyway.

      They aren't just re-releasing them as they were in the GameCube. Nintendo is enhancing their previous GameCube games and giving them Wiimote support, like Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition.
