GameCube releases for Wii to retail at full price

GI.Biz writes: "Nintendo's GameCube remakes for the Wii will sell at the same price as a normal Wii release, according to retailers.

The first two games in the New Play Control! brand are Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis, and have a recommended retail price of GBP 39.99, although online retailers are already slashing prices. Nintendo claims the titles have a RRP of GBP 29.99.

The titles will have reworked control support for the unique Wiimote, as well as a few other updated features."

and nintendo please I want good remakes of

1-star wars:rogh squadron 2

dredgewalker5987d ago

It would have been better to allow emulation of the gamecube on the wii.

Heldrasil5987d ago

Doesn't it already? You can stick a gamecube disc in and it works....

bakagaijin785987d ago

You can play GC games on the Wii already. Just buy the original GC game for cheap, plug in a GC controller and you're laughing.

The sad thing is that people will still buy up these games at full retail instead.

dredgewalker5987d ago

Thanks for the correction. I never owned a wii but its good to know that the Gamecubes good game library wont be gone to waste.

ChickeyCantor5987d ago

Baka you do realise that loads of these people never played the game right? and most of them only know the wii-mote+nunchuck so far.

The price is a bit weird, but great for those who havnt played them yet.

Nintendo fails its' third party devs. They will re-release GC games on the Wii with some enhancements and people will gobble them up ignoring pretty much all third parties. Not like it's a bad thing for the big N but for those looking to sell their wares on the Wii it certainly doesn't help any.

littletad5987d ago

They will be gobbled up at full price though.

I_LOVE_MYSELF5987d ago

Thats funny cos the PS3's most wanted game (arguably) is a REMAKE! which people would "gobble up"

FF7

Name 1 AAA quality 3rd party game for Wii? Now you know why most Wii owners pass on poor 3rd party games. Those that give the Wii a full function game with their full effort put into are seeing the rewards. GHWT and Rockband 2 are getting higher sales on Wii than on PS3 or 360. Shaun white snowboarding is also seeing better sales on Wii than on any other console.. I am jsut curious what quality games you think Wii owners are passing on.. Do you consider Petz to be AAA since it was once on PS2?Or maybe you think we should buy all the mini game fests?
Gotta love two faced haters. Quick to point out that Wii owners dont buy 3rd party but will also trash the Wii on another day for lack of quality 3rd party games.. All it comes down do is fanboys need a reason to bash it.

orakga5987d ago

LOL yeah seriously.
How many PS3 users would pay $60 for FF7 with SIXAXIS control?

SHAKE YOUR SIXAXIS TO... ugh... PAUSE THE GAME!!!

IQUITN4G5987d ago

Some people still havn't played these games so a full price is perfectly acceptable considering they have also been reworked

I'm very happy to play through some of these again because there will be a certain freshness anyhow thanks to new controls

Very much looking forward to Pikmin1,2, Chibi Robo, and MP1

If people don't wish to buy them, they don't have to

Hopefully they focus on Pikmin 4 DLC instead. That game introduced tons of interesting mechanics that deserve extra levels and bosses.

Venoxn4g312d ago

I hope for some Pikmin 4 DLC too.. to be honest, they could even make the second player somehow to work (not talking about that extra mode).. but they could make that you can control the dog at least, even if it's on the same screen in story mode

Pikmin 4 is great. The new camera system made everything better.

Cacabunga487d ago

I like the concept of this game but it really gets boring in the long run. Nintendos flagship could be F-Zero, they really need to bring it back

-Foxtrot487d ago

I’d prefer a StarFox spin off like the GameCube Adventure games. I found them to be fun despite being different to the main core games.

RaiderNation487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

@-Foxtrot

I'd love a new Star Fox game done in a similar format to Starlink, but with a better story and better enemy variety.

Nebaku487d ago

Every subsequent F-Zero sold worse than the prior.

If it's a flagship title, I think the flag will sink with the ship.

MrBaskerville487d ago

I love Pkimin 4, but wish they'd lean more into the rts aspects of the game. Would be interesting if you were using pikmin to gather resources and building stuff. Wouldn't mind if it strayed a iittle bit away from the cozy game territory. Atleast in spin-off.

MrBaskerville486d ago

Everyone hated the rts sections or what?

ifinitygamer487d ago

The "next gen console update" part of this is so clickbaity. The Nintendo president offered an update that they have nothing to update us on.

Crows90487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

I'm all in for a new Nintendo generation if they can give us

New smash
New Mario party
New Metroid
New Zelda both in 3d and 2d
New starfox
New IP
New and better pokemon game that really advances the IP

ifinitygamer487d ago

So you want all new Nintendo games from every franchise lol
Not making fun but it's like every major franchise, minus Mario for some reason?

talocaca487d ago

I live in Japan and Pikmin 4 did surprisingly well. Tons of collaborations and marketing. Even now they play ads on the trains.

One of my favorite franchises ♥️
