I bumped into this on Gametab.
Now, this isn't a post about the confirmation of a game, or even necessarily a hype thread; I realize a baren Gamefly page hardly sets anything in stone. However, it does return to the spotlight a question many have pondered since the Wii remote first unveiled: How will the system handle traditional fighting games, if it will at all? Tenkaichi 2 put some minds at ease, but I'm not as sure; the Budokai spin-off caters to a much more simplified fighting experience than something as deep and defined as Guilty Gear, or most 2D fighters for that matter. Yet, at the same time, the Wii's archetecture and Nintendo's apparent perspective on the market provides for the most likely candidate for any 2D game to land on. (The Xbox Live Arcade is a reasonable argument to that point, but I could never foresee anything brand new and to the scope of Guilty Gear appearing exclusively on it.)
And so, in addition to the credibility there is in a Guilty Gear's potential appearance on the Wii, I thought we might talk about the handling of similar games in the future. The Virtual Console/Gamecube controller setup would be most practical, but would they release a game with no support for the controller that came with the system? Would they tack on some half-baked motion sensing, or would they go to the trouble of creating a setup that none of us have simply thought of yet? I'm a fan of the Wii and 2D brawlers likewise, so the future of this scenario holds a lot of interest for me. I figured I couldn't be the only one.

Get off the stage
Wii: 5024 6786 2934 2806 | Steam/XBL: Arcibi | FFXI: Arcibi / Bahamut
Still, I'm intrigued as to the "what if...?" situation, in terms of how it'd be done. I hope that developers have ways to work around the quirky controller to save the Wii from the fate of the Gamecube in terms of 2D fighters.
