Fuck me, it’s confirmed! ecosse posted a quote in the Wii Discussion Group on EG.

“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.”

Yay, hope reignited. If they’re Wii discs, then they must be supporting the Wii remote.

“A new series of software is coming out called “Let’s Play On Wii,” according to Iwata. The series will bring back popular titles like Pikmin that were released on GameCube, but they will adapted for play on Wii.”

Something is changing.

As far as I can tell, it’s just the Gamecube games. Exactly as they were. In new boxes.
