New Series Brings Nintendo GameCube Favorites to Wii with Enhanced Motion Controls

REDMOND, Wash., March 9, 2009 – Unique motion-sensing controls have already helped to make Wii™ the nation’s top-selling video game console. With today’s launch of the New Play Control! series from Nintendo, Wii owners can use those same fun, intuitive controls to discover – or rediscover – some of the coolest and most well-received games made famous on the Nintendo GameCube™ system, each updated with a new wireless, active control scheme and a widescreen presentation.

New Play Control! Pikmin™ and New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis™ are the first two games in this new series, taking all the action and imagination of the originals and giving them a new control scheme. Not only do both new games make use of Nintendo’s simple-to-use Wii Remote™ controller, but they’re also presented for the first time ever in an eye-pleasing 16:9 widescreen format.

“On all of its platforms, Nintendo has consistently delivered irresistible games that fans can enjoy for years on end,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With the New Play Control! series, we’re giving Wii users new ways to tap into some great titles using the latest and greatest controls.”
