This March, Nintendo will be introducing the first in its series of GameCube remakes for the Wii, under their "New Play Control!" branding. First up will be New Play Control! versions of both Mario Power Tennis and Pikmin, both sporting Wii-specific controls for the re-release.
It doesn't look like it's going to stop there, either -- if an updated ESRB listing is any indication, Pikmin 2 may be getting the "New Play Control!" treatment as well. Siliconera noted the updated listing for the title, which adds Wii to the consoles the game is available on.
Nintendo hasn't announced the releaes of Pikmin 2 for the Wii for either North America or Japan, so you'll have to take this one with a grain of salt. Besides, we haven't even gotten New Play Control! Pikmin yet ... relax, OK? Let's hope this isn't the closest we'll get to seeing Pikmin on the Wii, though. The things we'd do for a new Pikmin title are certainly NSFW.

FUCK the damned waggle! I love my Wii, but this is exactly why the Wii is building itself up to fail. A precedence has unfortunately been set that if you release a game that has any semblance of Wii-based functionality, it's expected to be a hit.
Meanwhile, real treasures like Okami, No More Heroes, and Zack & Wiki languish on the shelves when they should actually be sitting next to every Wii that's out there.
Un-freaking-believable...
I guess its like the Xbox Originals: good for the new guys who missed out first time around.
Except with Nintendo, these new play games appear to be the only thing they're developing.
Metroid prime 1 and 2 on one disc FTW
but that ain't gonna happen qq
Yes. I am.
It's bad enough when EA et al release a game in a series yearly, whilst adding little to it.
Now Nintendo are releasing literally the same old stuff, with new controls.
On PC, that would be called a patch.
On Wii, it's called £30.
