The New Play Control! logo
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 Nintendo GameCube titles ported to the 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 includes the two Pikmin games,[1] New Play Control! Pikmin and New Play Control! Pikmin 2. North America never received the New Play Control! version of Pikmin 2, possibly due to branding issues with the treasures, but they did receive a delayed Nintendo Selects release in 2012.
