Not content to mine old content from two or more generations ago, Nintendo has added part of the Gamecube’s lineup to the list of games that will give your wallet Déjà vu. It sounds ridiculous to buy $10 Ebay games at retail, especially since the Wii is already backward compatible with the Gamecube, but Nintendo is justifying the purchase by retrofitting the games with gestural controls. With that in mind, most of the list makes sense:

• Chibi Robo
• Mario Tennis
• Metroid Prime
• Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
• Pikmin
• Pikmin 2

When the Wii first announced, many gamers’ first thoughts were of how to improve existing games with motion controls. If the Nintendo sees success with these games at the expected $35 mark, your fanboy dreams may just come true.
