This Christmas, Japanese gamers will be able to waggle flowery lemmings to their hearts content. Nintendo has announced (via IGN) that the Pikmin remake for Wii will launch December 25 in Japan for 3,800 yen (approx. US $36). The game is part of Nintendo's new "Play for Wii" series, which will be a collection of GameCube titles revised with Wii controls.

Before Pikmin (and not counting previous Wii remake Resident Evil 4), Nintendo will re-release Donkey Kong Jungle Beat on December 11. Upcoming titles in the collection include Chibi Robo, Pikmin 2, Mario Tennis GC, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes. No word on any release dates outside of Japan, but we'll be live at Nintendo of America's press conference in San Francisco later today.


F*CK YEAH SEAKING, PIKMIN/CHIBI ROBO ON WII.

Maybe Nintendo won't fail as bad for 2009. Since this all comes out in Japan 2008.

sweet! maybe now i'll finally be able to actually play Pikmin, since i missed it the first time around and can't find it anywhere now...

I'd rather get a new Pikmin game then the old one with Wii controls. :/

I think I'll get the metoid prime remake but the pikmin one.. no, i want new pikmins.

And I'm only getting the metroid remake because i dont actually have the GC game... i borrowed it and beat every single thing on it, 100% scans n everything.

Oh wow. That owns. :dtu:

I should look into the GCN classics with Wii controls. I missed out back then. ;-;

When I was a wee young'n, I had no real taste in gaming. Back then, I saw Pikmin and said, "Lol, dumb game." but now, I really want to play MP1/2, Pikmin, and CR o n Wii. Stupid Nintendo dropping Gamecube and going to Wii.

Just a sort of off topic thing, what ever happened to that Lawsuit against Nintendo for the GCN Controller and the Wii Classic Controller?
