Metroid Prime Trilogy Being Updated For the Wii, Due In August 50
On Friday, Nintendo revealed that the three Metroid Prime games will be re-released on a single disc this August for the Wii. The first two, originally developed for the Gamecube, will be updated so players can "use their Wii Remote to aim with precision." 1Up had this to say of their hands-on preview: "... The heads-up display and on-screen interface elements have been completely overhauled to work more effectively with the standard Wii control setup of remote and nunchuck; swapping visors is a quick point-and-click command, and toggling weapons is similarly easy. Although the control interface isn't perfect — pressing down on the D-pad to fire missiles still grates — it makes the GameCube titles feel much faster and more fluid overall."

True (I think), however, it wouldn't even matter for MP, because the Motion Plus is an augmentation to the accelerometer, and MP really only makes use of the light gun. Motion plus will be great for finally getting that light saber duel game (if it were to ever happen), but it won't have any effect on things like Metroid Prime.

Yeah, because they aren't currently working through their NES/SNES catalog with the DS remakes, right? FF7 will be remade within a few years, I bet. And then remade again in a few years after that.
