In an Interview Shigeru Miyamoto did for Japanese website, Nintendo dream he said that he saw the possibility of retro-fitting the Wii control scheme onto some Gamecube games.
N: So you think games will experience a rebirth thanks to the Wiimote...
M: Yes. Of course you can wander into a second hand shop and buy a lot of these games still, so I don't think we can release these Wiimakes at full price. Since a lot of the development cost has already been accounted for, we'll be able to release these at a much more affordable price. And if others also take advantage of this and release Wiimakes, there's a high possibility of a lot of software from third parties also.
Now He mentions here that you can wander into shops to buy these Gamecube games already. NO YOU CANT! If i walk into any high street shop now (even the large game retailers) there is either a tiny section with a couple of games or no section at all. Which got me thinking.
If the Wii is a huge success will retailers start putting Gamecube games back on the shelf? The Wii is backwards compatible with GC games so it would be a great way for retailers to make a quick buck. I for one would welcome a move like this since there are loads of GC games that I have yet to play and would love to give a go (for the right price). What do you think? would you buy 2 Wii games if you also got a FREE Gamecube game?
