So they just horizontally flipped everything.

    Trust me, it fucked me up for the longest time when I started playing the Wii version.
    So what you're angry about is that the developers tried to stick to the originals with the lefthanded gamecube version but didn't stick with it on the wii version. Because yeah, swinging with the right and a left arm moving just really makes the gameplay imersive. < /sarcasm >

    I'm not saying the gameplay was that imersive with the corrected motion controls, but it wouldn't have helped if they didn't flip the graphics.

    The major reason for the wii rerelease was simply because most people (Im not talking about the average decent gamer aka anyone who visits these forums) didn't have a GC anymore but was planning on buying a wii. GC was at the same point where the wii is now before the wii U. Everybody is ready to start the funeral but then the console gets just those few swansong titles to make it's death come too soon.

    btw what percentage of the buyers of the GC version actualy bought the WII version too? seems a bit silly to buy and play the same game for two different consoles if you already know the differences. (if you didn't know them you should really try this link, it works miracles: http://tinyurl.com/1c2)
