It goes a bit further than just a remaster. With a remaster I think of things like upscaling, replacing textures and updating the controles. But in this game characters, walls, floors and all sorts of objects seem to have been completely reconsidered and redesigned. The layout of the environment is the same but what is in it has been redone. They really made an effort: it is one of the best remasters that I have played.
Companies like Rockstar should take note: this is how you do a remaster!
Most of it will probably be updates on games we already know about. Maybe some first footage on Metroid Prime 4. But I doubt that there will be any real reveals.
@ecco6t9 F-Zero hasn't been abandoned. Apparently a few years ago a new game was pitched to Nintendo by Criterion but unfortunately not put in development. This was reported on this very site.
I want it but I have already played the Wii U version and this port seems to add very little to the original. Paying full price for it makes little sense in my case. I will wait until a price drop or until I have nothing else to play.

Already had the expansion pack so this was a welcome surprise.

Re: The 'Unhackable' Wii Mini Has Been Hacked
It seems somewhat pointless. The Wii Mini isn't just more limited in functionality but it is also a lot harder to find than the regular Wii.
