Most often they argue that it would be simple, leave the game alone and add motion controls. Nintendo was obviously reading the message boards because they are planning to do just that. Nintendo has released a list of a set of games under the brand “Play for Wii”, or “Wii de Asobu” depending on the language you speak. What a “Play for Wii” game is, is a GameCube game, but with Wii controls. The games that will be re-released as a “Play for Wii” titles are in 2009: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (which is coming out first on the 11th of December), Pikmi, Pikmin 2, Chibi Robo, Mario Tennis, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2.

If you didn’t notice, Nintendo included both Pikmin titles in the group. This means fans will be able to play the first Pikmin as a Wii title on December 25. The dates of all other titles are unknown, but if you are dying to see how this would work, you can always pick up a copy of Twilight Princess for Wii.
