Are the graphics updated, too? Or is it just controls? $30 ain't bad, though. How much does the GameCube version go for now? At least $20 on Ebay, more new, I bet.

If they add Online play to them then I'd say it's worth it as I've wanted to play a Metroid Prime online on the Wii. I've played Hunters online and it rocked.
I'v never played it so I'm sold.
It's a bit overpriced for sure. It doesn't surprise me given that Nintendo tried this scheme a few years back with those NES Classics that were released on the GBA . Since those failed to sell in any substantial quantities, I'm very much hoping the same applies here.



This is just a way to make a quick buck. Not that Nintendo really needs it. I'm still hoping that some of their billions in profit earned over the years will be used to fund and kick-start new developers for the Wii. Maybe then we can get some new software for it.
$30 is a fair price. Try to buy a used Pikman 2 game for under $30.
Seems a reasonable price to me. It's worth it to me to have Pikmin in 16:9 with Wii controls at that price.
Seems pretty fair to me as well. If you have played the game/already own it, then there is no reason to be upset about the price. If you think it's too much and you can buy the Gamecube disk elsewhere for much less, then by all means, do so. It's more productive than complaining.

[/QUOTE]I agreeOverpriced old software with control schemes that were never designed for the gamesNintendo is doing what other devs are doing. They don't care about quality with the games. They understand that anything sells and they're just trying to get money back that they lost last gen.Nintendo said that they weren't happy with sales last gen and they're using this to fix them.Pretty awful making Wii owners pay for Nintendo's mistakes last gen
i'll get it.
I probably wont get it. Only reason why I got RE4 wii edition was because I never played the GC version
30.00 is a bit steep. But in some games they are adding exra content (besides the controls) so perhaps at least a few titles will be able to justify that price.

And I think some games (perhaps the Metriod games) will benifit enough from the control scheme to warrent a purchase.

If you've never played the game before, it's basically a new game for only thirty bucks. That seems like a fair deal. If you have played the game before, then you're not in the target audience, so they don't care if you think it's overpriced. :P
Here's another reason I'm AGAINST the $30 price tag.You can argue that these ''Play on Wii'' games are greatest hits titles, no? Well, last gen, Sony's Greatest Hits titles cost $19.99 at retail. Games were also priced at $49.99 that gen, just as Wii games are priced now. I suppose you can argue that the control scheme alone adds an extra ten bucks to the final price, but the fact remains that you're paying for the same game from a previous generation for more money. I'm still having a hard time figuring out how this can be a good deal.
[QUOTE=''CanadianEh'']I'm still having a hard time figuring out how this can be a good deal. [/QUOTE]Well if you don't think it's a good deal, don't buy the games. I probably won't be, on account of the fact that I've played the games on the Gamecube. Nintendo wouldn't have priced it at $30 if they didn't think anyone would buy it for that price.

i missed out on all these games last generation, good deal to me
I never played Pikmin or Metroid Prime 2 so I might think about getting them. $30 seems reasonable as well.
[QUOTE=''gooflee'']$30 is a fair price. Try to buy a used Pikmin 2 game for under $30. [/QUOTE]Game Crazy-$12Movie Gallery-$3.99 (just like every other Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox game they have)If you were to buy these in Japan, it would retail for $43 w/o shipping, so I don't see why we're complaining about NOA buying in bulk and passing the price down to consumers. Also, many of these ports have had a few hours of entertainment added to them, which would explain the $10 markup.As for the case with Pikmin 1, Nintendo completely fixed the problems it had. Eliminating the 30 day time-limit, implementing Wii motion (hopefully good) and updating the graphics to that of a regular Wii game. For $30, that is a steal.As for games like Mario Power Tennis...since that was a Second Party title, Nintendo couldn't get Camelot to hand over the original code to tamper with. So that effort is the laziest of all the offerings so far.
