Wii-makes

Instead of creating new IP's, Nintendo has decided to remake old games. Yay. Pikmin, Mario Tennis, and (soon) Metroid Prime - three GameCube classics - are being remade using Wii's motion controls for $30 each. Apparently, the games control really well using the new controllers, but the qestion is, will anyone care? With so many new and exciting games in the market today, will people really want to play ten-year-old games on the least next-gen system of all next-gen systems? There're a lot of Wiis out there... I'm sure someone will buy them. And good games are good no matter how old they are. Also, the potential of the Wii's controls is still mostly unrealized by almost every game on the system; maybe gamers will take whatever neat games they can find?
