Wii Bringing Back Some Classics

Wii Bringing Back Some Classics

Nintendo of America has shared some great news for fans of Pikmin and Mario Tennis!  On June 10th, 2012 NoA will release Pikmin 2 and Mario Power tennis for the Wii as part of their “Nintendo Selects” line of games.  Both of the classic games will be available for the low price of $19.99.

Nintendo also announced that Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Donkey Kong Country will now sell for the low price of only $29.99.  For fans that do not already own the titles, or have played the disk to it’s grave, the lower pricing is sure to attract an audience.  I can almost see Reggie swimming with Scrooge McDuck in the Vault of gold coins in celebration of the increased profits.

Could it be that the re-release of these games, as well as the lower pricing, are meant to draw fans back into the series in preparation for Wii U sequels?  Probably not, but I can’t help but hope!

Just in case you cannot read the screen shots above, i have included the list below:

Could this be the Wii U controller dock?

Could this be the Wii U controller dock?

Wii U charging dockA Neogaf user recently posted a patent drawing that shows what appears to be a charging dock for the Wii U controller.

Judging from the patent, the design would work in the same fashion as the Nintendo 3DS charging dock. In addition, the design of the Wii U controller looks unchanged from the version we were introduced to at E3 2011. No surprise, but Nintendo could easily make some alterations.

So, if the Wii U controller will need a charging dock, does this solidify the possibility of only ONE controller being used for one Wii U console? Discuss!
