I've been praying for the same thing for years. I would definitely prefer a WiiWare version (seeing as I don't have a 360), but either would make me happy.

While pointer controls with d-pad arrow drops could work, I don't think it'd be a good idea. It would be too easy and in my opinion, very little fun. Some control schemes I would like to see-

1 Classic controller (obviously)
2 Nunchuck movement with Wiimote d-pad arrow drops
3 Nunchuck only (with movement controlled by the joystick and arrow drops by Z+direction)

I would gladly pay 10 to 15 USD for ChuChu Rocket Wiiware. All I can ever think about when playing Doctor Mario Online Rx online is how much more fun I would be having if there were KapuKapus involved.

I don't think i'd pay for Chu Chu Rocket again. I only paid 99p for it when it was still available at retail. It's a nice puzzle game don't get me wrong but I don't think it justifies being bought again. Net play didn't really add much to the game. It was just novel being one of the first console games to be played over the internet (in this country).

I think it'd be worth it. Chuchu Rocket is one of my favorite Dreamcast games. Even today I play it with friends regularly. Wiiware is really short on party games, and I think it'd be an excellent addition to the line-up. It's easy for nongamers to understand and is just plain, simple fun.

Would make perfect sense on Wiiware to me. Imagine simply pointing tothe tile you want a pressing the d-pad to plce that arrow? So much easier and quicker, would make the multiplayer mode even more exciting and fast than it already was because the controls would be instantly accessable. The GBA controls in partciular I found to be a pain in the arse, and not having to drag a cursor about with a analouge stick ala the DC version would be good too.

Despite the fact I (like nearly everyone else, I'd imagine) got it for free from SEGA the first time around, I really would not mind paying £5 or so for a perfect XBLA version. They could even do away with the 2-second lag between pressing the button and the arrow appearing, thanks to broadband. Would be good times. Good times.
