And Nintendo is apparently already hard at work on the next Wii installment, this time one that isn't just a port.
I'll say it now. Reviews of the Gamecube version seem to indicate that including support for a Gamecube controller in the Wii version may not have been such a bad idea. Apparently some things work better, though not the aiming. My guess is those "some things" include using the sword and spin attack, which really were tacked on and not nearly as thought out to excellence as fishing, aiming, and other mini-games. However, if the Wii is anything like the XBox 360, maybe in the future we'll start up the game only to see the message "an update is available for this game, do you wish to update?" and the game will have those controls patched in.

"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)
