Super Mario Land director Yoshiaki Koizumi has expressed some interest in seeing older Nintendo games in 3D. When asked if there are any titles he’d like to remake, he said:

“I guess I can’t really say one title specifically because then the world will expect us to make it and I’ll get into a whole lot of trouble!

“I can say that I really would like to see a lot of those games that use 3D worlds on 2D display just so I could see what they look like in 3D and see what kind of different experiences people would have playing through them on a 3D display. So in that sense I would love to see Sunshine and both Galaxy games presented in 3D, and a lot of the Zelda [games] would be interesting too.”

Koizumi has already seen one of his wishes fulfilled: Zelda: Ocarina of Time is already out on the 3DS, and I’m sure we’ll see more from the franchise on the system in the future. I doubt Nintendo would port the Galaxy games over, though perhaps Sunshine is a possibility.

I might be more confused than ever now. I figured that Nintendo would deliver the typical “we don’t comment on rumors/speculation” line, but a representative has actually provided a statement that doesn’t rule out the possibility of downloadable GameCube games for Wii U.

Here’s the statement:

“To clarify the capabilities of the Wii U system: As correctly stated, Wii U will not play Nintendo GameCube discs. However, Nintendo has not made any announcements regarding downloadable content.”

I could see the Wii U having this functionality. It’s just a bit odd how all of this is unfolding. I’d like to have a concrete answer!

Brawl, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, Baten Kaitos, Super Mario Galaxy, SoulCalibur 2, Wii Play: Motion, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Earth Seeker (first images in HD), James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.

It’s pretty interesting to see what some of these games look like in HD – GameCube games especially. I personally always wanted to see Baten Kaitos in HD while playing it on GameCube. The art in that game is particularly gorgeous.

Nintendo of America PR director Mark Franklin on whether developers are required to use the screen transfer feature in every game…

“We’re not making any prerequisites to any of the developers to say ‘you have to do this, you have to do that.’ What we’re showing at this year’s show is just the possibilities. That’s just an example. Certainly, that’s a possibility.

Franklin on how easy it is for developers to implement the screen transfer feature…

“I’m not going to get into the technical side, but it’s certainly up to the developers to make that choices. We’ve shown what’s possible and now it’s up to the developers to come up with content.”

It’s an end of an era! The Wii U will not support GameCube functionality in any fashion. The console doesn’t have a memory slot or controller ports, of course, and it therefore will be unable to play any GameCube games.
