In the name of lasagna I want this remake. Look at that! The biggest thing to take issue with is the lack of analog in those triggers, but on memory I don't think they were used to that effect in the original. (Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine could get tricky though.) Also, I'm glad they are working on major updates to the OS, and porting over the Virtual Console games, but charging extra for games some people already bought on their Wii for the privilege of playing it on the U? Not really good form. Better to build some good will and treat them as straight transfers as far as the users are concerned. Apple wouldn't be able to get away with recharging for apps with every new phone.
Anyway, faster start times are always a good thing. Here's hoping for other interface changes like I mentioned with the launch thread.

"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)
