Nintendo has today announced that its New Play Control! series of games – enhanced versions of GameCube titles – will launch across Europe in Q1 2009.
The first game to arrive in Europe will be Pikmin on February 6. Originally released for GameCube in 2002, Pikmin sees players enter the world of the Pikmin creatures as they help Captain Olimar on his galactic quest to rebuild his spaceship. The New Play Control! Version will make use of both the Wii Remote and Nunchuck with a heavy use of a Pointer System to enable quick strategic moves.
Mario Power Tennis, set for release in March 2009, will require players wave the Wii Remote to execute forehand and backhand shots and direct the ball to the left or right of the court. It will also be possible to apply topspin and slice and perform special moves.
Both titles have been enhanced with a new widescreen display option.
