New Play Control! - What GameCube Games Should Return on Wii?

Ohhh I was just thinking about how they should add new controls to Zelda Wind Waker couple days ago, it would be brilliant actually, im sure they can pull it off.

Excellent list! Every game listed are ones I would\'ve chosen, and then some.

Rogue Leader made the list, but not Rebel Strike? That\'s insanity!

I wanna see metal gear too . Agree with the list though.

Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest

Never heard of it, is it any good?

i think paper mario: ttyd would work excellent on wii. think about motion controlled action command

I saw my copy of Geist today and thought about this exact subject. Luigi's Mansion would be a great game for this treatment as well.

Predictable list, though i agree with most.

Nobody has shared my thoughts thus far, but the one title i wish to see most is The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.
I was so compelled by the thought once that i rooted out my copy for the GC to see if it could work with Wii controls, and i think it'd work just great.
D pad for the formations.
B button for attack.
A button for items.
+ for the pause menu.
Nunchuck control stick for movement.
C button on Nunchuck to bring up the formation list.
Z button on Nunchuck to lift rocks etc.
Waggling the Nunchuck to put the Link's on standby while you control just one, waggling again could change which Link you control, and a simple click of Z will bring them back together.
Maybe these aren't the perfect controls, but something along these lines could work. I can imagine it now "A giant bomb has appeared on screen, escape to your DS!" and that you would, with wireless connectivity with the DS, it'd be so much easier to do multiplayer co-op, implementing both screens this time. And Wi-fi Shadow Battle could be done and... ok now I'm just getting too excited.

Still, whether they make a new one or bring FSA to NPC!, i would so buy that first day.

I think Donkey Konga would be a good one too (as you mentioned in the closing bit, Adam) Whilst the GC one was good, it didn't work too well in multiplayer as your slaps and claps got picked up by the mic in the other bongos. On the Wii it could have a new lease of life and maybe some less terribly dubbed music...

Oh and Burnout 2 was (and still is) one of my favourite racing games of all time, so that'd be nice...can't see it happening though!

removing all the blue/red coins removing all the repeated bosses/quests. Adding new bosses/levels + 60 fps + shoot and run = mario sunshine > mario galaxy.

Too good to be true though.. too good to be true..

Chances are that we'll see a new Four Swords on Wiiware, it's a perfect fit for the service.

I think Sunshine and Wind Waker are definitely gonna hit the re-releases this year, Nintendo wouldn't be Nintendo if that doesn't happen! The rest I would put down as a maybe, and Geist a little higher than maybe.

Looking at the initial line-up, Nintendo's picking the most obvious choices, so I'd say Luigi's Mansion will be a 2009 release. 1080 would be ideal for the Balance Board as well.

I wonder if 3rd Party games will be allowed?

Nice list, apparently, Wind Waker had two temples missing from early development. If they could add those in I think it could definately be worth re-buying.

Games i'd like to see.

Wave Race: Bluestorm
Starfox Adventures/Assault
F-Zero GX

I doubt Starfox Adventure nor F-Zero GX would happen though.

Would definitely like to see the two omitted Wind Waker dungeons included in a Wiimake, as well as a little less triforce shard huting. The last 2 dungeons were fantastic, some of the best dungeon designs to date.

Hopefully Nintendo will be pushing for these - wonder how it\'d work with sales and stuff though

Great List, I agree with all those there. I reckon 4 swords should be there too with a follow up on Wiiware that connects to the DS/DSi for certain features. I would add some more, I would like to see some 3rd party GC games there too if companies felt like it. Turok evolution (with severe work on gfx PLZ), PN03, Reign of Fire (yes I liked that game) and all Nintendo made games lol.

It's brilliant. The gameplay is straight forward but it's good. A very funny game as well.

YEAH!!!!!!!!

bring on the Super mario!!!!!!

Four Swords wouldn't be so a good game for the Play On series as the Wiimote controls would ruin it in my opinion.

Prehaps a release on Wiiware or even on the DS with local and net play.

Just give me Eternal Darkness and I wouldnt care about not getting anything else

Special Wii sanity effects would be nice too.

==

Also, its almost certain any dungeon ideas left out from TWW went into TP, so it would be duplication to add them back into TWW.

Remember also, it wasnt that the dungoens were in the game then removed, it was they never had time to make them for release. They removed where they went, but they dont have them finnished then decided not to have them. I dont care what Nintendo claims for PR reasons, but they arnt THAT stupid.
(TWW was criminaly short on substance compared to Zeldas before or after, it was not a deliberate choice by Nintendo, but one of nessitity due to the failing gamecube)

\"Four Swords wouldn\'t be so a good game for the Play On series as the Wiimote controls would ruin it in my opinion.\"

The Wiimote would add nothing, but I dont think it would take away much either.

However, A new FourSwords game using DS<>Wii comminication would be fantastic.

The Wind Waker needs wiimote wand action!

Super Mario Sunshine would be great also as it's my favourite out of the 3D Marios. Ya hear that Nintendo? It's MY favourite so get working on it.

I will love to see luigi's mansion 2 or even a port i loved that game. Maybe even the Eternal Darkness with super mario sunshine.

Geist is a good one. I loved it too a point but a few of the glitches killed it such as bots not respawing after a certain amount of time on multiplayer, they would just drift round.
The videos on that also I think inspired Portal (the change in voice and the wrong phrases) the graphics where brillint but ocasionally it would seem a little samey. Great game though just a few bug fixes ans It would be brilliant to play again.

I think they need to bring back Viewtiful Joe. Those games where magnificent, maybe find a way of encorporating the film powers into motion based actions or something?

Timesplitters 3 (even though its EA) with revamped controls and a good online!

Definitely a good list of games, although I feel that they should stay away from sports games like 1080 Avalanche or Mario Tennis. Those would be better served with a new version with features like Balance Board support or online play.

The best candidates for NPC will be adventure / action games that you would love to play over like Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Metroid, Zelda, etc.

I disagree with all of those

I'd be massively disappointed if these or any others were to be developed, and I think it's massively unlikely that they will. There's thousands of old games that might have one or two ideas that would lend themselves to Wiimote implementation, but does that mean that entire back-catalogues should be plundered and rereleased?

I'm all for the ones they've said are coming - they have control schemes where the Wiimote will fundamentally improve the experience - but rereleasing Wind Waker just for a few wind-based gestures? Please tell me you guys are struggling for article inspiration and don't really believe this stuff

I don't like to be negative, but these are bad ideas and you shouldn't put things like this in third-parties' heads.

I'm not going to extol the virtues of the NPC titles, but I wouldn't complain too much if SOME of those titles up on the list hit the Wii. The main one for me would be Luigi's Mansion. Obviously in an ideal world Nintendo wouldn't like money so much and would build a new game from the ground up, but in these credit-crunchy times I guess not. I agree with your 'I find this all very depressing' sentiment, but c'est la via.

fundamentally improve the experience -

How would Giests expirence *not* improve by Metroid Style controlls?

How would Lugia's mansion not benifit from proper aiming too?

Granted a lot on those list would be more re-releases to give the games a second chance with a larger audience(Eternal Darkness), but theres a few there that would also hugely benifit from sensor bar based controll.
