A few hours ago, Nintendo officially unveiled Sin and Punishment 2 for Wii, a follow up to the N64 classic. The question, however, was whether or not the game would release in North America. Well, good news! The game has been confirmed for an NA release by Nintendo.


Nintendo has uploaded videos of Pikmin and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for Wii. You can check them out here.


“The GameCube conversions will be available across Europe too. However, it’s too early to announce or discuss specific details at this time.” – Nintendo of Europe representative

I have to admit, I was pretty surprised to hear about the re-releases when the news hit last night. It’s definitely good news for those who missed out on some classics!

The exceptional controls of Metroid Prime 3 may have prompted this latest news – Re-releases of Metroid Prime 1 and 2, now made with the unique Wii controller in mind. This fits in perfectly with Nintendo’s announcement last night of remaking some GameCube titles such as Pikmin. In addition to Metroid Prime 1 and 2 and the other titles announced last night, Chibi-Robo, Pikmin 2, and Mario Power Tennis are being remade as well. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will begin the lineup of remade titles in Japan on December 11 followed by Pikmin (3,800 yen, 2000 less than the average first-party Wii game) on December 25.
