Possible GameCube remakes for the Wii

GameCube Wii

Shigeru Miyamoto has announced that Nintendo is considering remaking GameCube games for the Wii, should the dual console release of Twilight Princess prove to be a success, and modifying them to make use of the Wii’s unique controller. To quote Miyamoto:

We’ll be upgrading the development tools, but GameCube code can be used for the most part as is. In that sense, I believe that it would be good to remake GameCube games for Wii, and that some titles would become better with the change to the Wii remote controller.

Because porting games from the GameCube to the Wii is such a simple process, Miyamoto says that any rereleased titles will likely debut for less than standard full retail price.
