New Play Control! Pikmin is a re-release of Pikmin in the New Play Control! range of video-games. It was released in 2008 in Japan and 2009 everywhere else, and features a number of changes to the original game.

Changes

  • The game now has widescreen support.
  • A new control scheme allows control of the cursor by pointing at the screen with the Wii controller. Because of that, the player can now call the Pikmin at a greater distance.
  • An updated save system allows the player to restart play from any previous day. This allows the player to fix problems, such as the Libra Glitch.
  • 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.
  • Yellow Pikmin holding bomb-rocks no longer drop them when whistled to. In addition, they will automatically try to run out of range of a planted bomb-rock's explosion or throw it at an enemy.
  • The Enemy Reel is presented differently. The Enemy Reel plays as usual, but around the edges of the screen, five-petaled flowers are falling, in addition to what looks like snowflakes towards the end of the Enemy Reel.
  • Pikmin last longer when on fire or drowning.
  • The carrying numbers are like in Pikmin 2, which means they show the color of the onion they are carried to.
  • The Player can now press up or down on the D-pad to cycle through the types of Pikmin they are holding, a feature which was first learned in the gamecube version of Pikmin 2.
  • During the Bad Ending, Olimar's Ship make different malfunctioning noises.
  • The Credits play differently; Instead of going from the bottom of the screen to the top, the "roll" across the surface of the planet. Meteors will also occasionaly pass the screen in the background.
  • Olimar can no longer lay down.
