From IGN.com-
In 2003, a great-yet-underrated PC game called TRON 2.0, an amazingly well done sequel to the 1982 cult classic TRON, was released to moderately high reviews. However, a year later, the game was poorly ported to the XBOX console as TRON 2.0 Killer App with many bugs and glitches. Now, Disney Interactive (known as BVG when the PC and XBOX games were released) plans to refurbish the XBOX version of the game and put it on Nintendo's Wii console. Disney Interactive says "the game will be the same in most ways, but with fewer bugs and some additional features."
Disney Interactive says that the new-and-improved Wii version will include the new weapons in the XBOX version as well as very comfortable to use motion controls. The story mode will also have a few new levels that will make you able to use these new weapons in single player.
Also new are some additions to multiplayer. All of the multiplayer modes from the XBOX version will be present, but with some notable improvements. OverDrive mode now allows you to choose between the Super Lightcycle or the retro Lightcycle. The Lightcycle mode now allows you to choose any lightcycle in the XBOX and Gameboy Advance games. The Derez (deathmatch) mode now contains all of the XBOX and PC maps. More character skins will be added (we're not sure what yet), and best of all, the Halo/Doom helmets have been removed from the Derez mode characters! The multiplayer modes will be playable locally and online. DI says there'll also be some new multiplayer modes, too, but they're not saying what yet.
TRON 2.0 Killer App for Wii will also be the first Wii game to take advantage of Nintendo's Downloadable content service. Through an ingame menu, you can search for maps by game mode, name, and rating. Yes! Players who've purchased and played a map can then give that map a rating from 1 Build Note (a collectable in the single player game) to 5 Build Notes. The game will also be the first Wii game to provide text chat, so you can plug any compatible USB keyboard into your Wii and yell "OMG you teh took me out! LOL!" through the same kind of text prompt in the PC version.
Although it's very highly anticipated and looks very promising, we can't help think what happened on the XBOX 360 ports of TRON and Disks of TRON. However, the video we saw at DI headquarters looked very promising to us, and like a real flashback from our favorite 80's nostalgia!

Yeah, all Disney would have to do is throw some pocket change into advertising and nail the motion controls! DLC probably won't ever be possible tho, due to the small hard drive.
Direct-to-SD Card saving, anyone?
Brawl did it, why not everything else? My SD Card has more memory than my Wii ever had, and that's actually pretty bad..
Memory cards were awesome..
