The New Play Control! (Wii de Asobu in Japan and previously called Let's Play On Wii) range of video games is a collection of GameCube titles ported to the Nintendo Wii, with their controls altered for play on the newer console. During a Nintendo press conference in October 2008, the games were announced, along with the details that the range will include the two Pikmin games.[1] The re-release of Pikmin in Japan was 25th December 2008, and release dates for North America and Europe are 9th Marchreference needed and 6th February 2009[2] respectively. Currently, Pikmin 2's re-release is expected to arrive in 2009.
Changes that will be made to Pikmin 1 and, presumably, its sequel, include a new control scheme that allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen[3], improved graphics with widescreen supportreference needed, and an updated save system[4], which allows players to restart play from any previous day.
