The latest Wii rumor is that there will be a strong following of N64 games ported to the Nintendo Wii. According to the gaming magazine Nintendo Dream in Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto suggested that Nintendo was considering revamping a number of their old platform games and adapting them to the next-gen wii.
At E3 we were introduced to a revamped Mario 64, which was obviously running at a higher frame rate. However, the real changes as with the rest of the Wii, is the way the games are controlled. Miyamoto suggests the idea that Nintendo is encouraging GameCube game developers to port titles as well.
“The machine is based on GC… 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.”
It’s still unclear as to how many of the old games will be ported to the Wii. In addition, whether these games will be standalone or through the Wii Online marketplace has yet to be determined.
