George Harrison, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications for Nintendo of America, revealed a few minor details about Wii to Camp Hyrule participants today.
First up, Harrison announced that the Wii version of Twilight Princess will not have GameCube controller support. This means that if you get the Wii version of the game, you'll only be able to play using the remote instead of having a choice of controllers as was previously believed.
Harrison also discussed the possibility of using the virtual console for more than just retro games, saying, ""Remember, there are other secrets of the virtual console that we won't reveal until we get closer to launch. Virtual console offers the possibility for us to create new games, but our focus right now is in getting the Wii hardware launched and new games from Nintendo on the virtual console will be coming sometime after the launch." This had been rumored to be the plan but was never confirmed.

Hmmm...new games from Nintendo on the virtual console coming sometime after launch? SWEET!!! Can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves. As for the Zelda TP news I may end up getting both versions of the game....still not sure on what to do with that.
