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 the 11th March and 6th February 2009[2] respectively. Recently, Pikmin 2's UK release, was on 24th April 2009.
Changes
Changes that have been made to Pikmin 1. Some of these will presumably be carried over to its sequel.
- The game now has widescreen support.
- A new control scheme allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen with the Wii controller.
- An updated save system allows the player to restart play from any previous day.
- Some sound effects are played by the Wii remote speaker.
- Enemy sound effects, 'voices' in particular, are different, notably more 'squeaky'.
- Only the "tails" of Pikmin spirits are blue, rather than being completely blue as they are in the GameCube version.
- There is a new Enemy Reel style.
