Now i don't know if that means you will be forced to use the classic controller, or gamecube I don't see how it could be played on a Wii-mote and Nunchuk without motion. So you might want to pick up a gamecube controller or two.

I purchased some Gamecube games along with a WaveBird and a memory card about two week before the Wii came out. The games I purchased were classics like Metroid Prime I & 2, Zelda WW, Zelda Collector's Edition and Eternal Darkness. Not counting the weak-ass Multiplayer mode in MP2, these are all single player games.Why haven't I purchased games Mario Kart DD, SSB Melee, Mario Party X or any other multiplayer game for GameCube you may ask? Simple, there's going to be a Wii version of everyone of those games, so why spend money on GameCube Controllers and not to mention #$%^&*# extension cords for those ridiculously short GameCube controller cables just to play games that will have a Wii enhance versions soon enough. I mean once I purchase Wii Play, I'll have 4 Wii Remote, so why not purchase games that will work with those instead of buying games that will require 3 new controllers?

Instead of shelling out for four classic controllers you can use the Gamecube controllers for Mario Kart 64.Veilknight - I'm sure Ocarina is coming and other N64 titles are in the works for the future. I think Nintendo is just trying to get people to play the classics first and move foward to the later generation N64 games. Besides Ocarina I want to see Sin & Punishment on the list.Kakashi - Nintendo has shown some love for Kid Icarus recently. First it was re-released as a Famicom Mini game in Japan, then Pit comes back in the Kid Icarus trailer and now the NES game is coming out early. Maybe they're trying to get people to familiarize themselves with the series. the_importer – you have some interesting ideas about the control scheme, but I think that would require some reprogramming.

Hopefully the Wii will see a new Kid Icarus game. Interesting how they’re offering Kid Icarus, but haven’t really made a sequel, save for the lame GameBoy version.

The N64 has really been neglected as of lately, no matter how many times Nintendo would announce future installments for the VC, it would be the only console that gets overlooked. Super Mario 64 is a damn good game, but doesn't make up for the lack of software when compared to the other consoles supported. Mario Kart 64 is a good start, hopefully more titles such as Ocarina of Time will follow. Finally, another N64 title getting added to the Virtual Console in the near future!
