Seriously, that's messed up. I wasn't really interested in picking up what were more or less straight ports anyway, but this more or less seals it. I know there's some sort of online stickers or whatever added, but I don't really care about that. I honestly can't figure out why they'd actually lower the graphics. I mean the Wii itself suffers no slowdown when I play Metroid Prime 1 ON it, and it's basically just a Gamecube with more RAM and faster processors, so why exactly would they feel the need? Apparently there's also censoring? What would need to be sensored? I'm scratching my head there too. The controls just don't look as tight I'll note. I prefer being able to switch weapons instantly with the flick of a control stick to holding some button down and then aiming my Wii remote. From everything I've read, the new control scheme is mandatory, not optional. I think that's my biggest problem with these Wii remakes. They don't seem to want to add in BOTH schemes and let the player decide, they just out and out replace it. It's why I hesitate to get the Wii version of Pikmin (that, and I already own it), and it's a problem I had with Twilight Princess. From what I've read on that game there are a few things that simply control better using a controller.
Nintendo is a little too controlling when it comes to their player base in general these days. Their online is another example. I'd think it's in the best interests of a business to give the people what they want and let them decide what they want to do.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
