Boy, do I loves me some Ikaruga. I picked up Ikaruga used a while back for my Gamecube and I love it, even though it beats me. Why do I keep getting into these relationships?

At any rate, I was thinking about how I want Nintendo to update the Wii firmware, allowing us to use the Wii controller to play Cube games, and customize the controls for everything. I want to be able to play any game using the Wii Remote, if I am willing to sacrifice buttons or change them for gestures. It could work similarly to AppleScript, or whatever they call that in OS-X now that we use Automator to manage.

That’s how I want to play Ikaruga. See, that’s why I mentioned Ikaruga.

We have all these games from the Cube that only use up to two buttons and the directional, and yet we can’t use the Wii Remote to control them, because there is no support for Wii controllers in Gamecube games, even though some Wii games already optionally use a Gamecube controller. For those that need more buttons, why not let us map them over so we can play everything the way we want? I’m hoping we see this functionality sooner rather than never.
