New Play Control! series

**Valigarmander** · 01-17-2009, 11:51 AM

Basically, these are going to be revisions and re-releases of Gamecube games for the Wii. Most are made to take advantage of the Wii's control scheme, but most will apparently have some minor in-game changes added as well. So far, only two projects have been announced, both just released in Japan.

Hey, it only makes sense, doesn't it? This game will use Wii controls and will also support widescreen, though there doesn't appear to be any other major changes to the game.

Also, we have this:

This game will now be played using the Wiimote and Nunchuk. Several small changes will be made to the game, including widescreen support. There are no new levels, apparently.

More info to post as it comes in.

They should do this with Mario Golf.

The original N64 version. Not the other RPG crap.

You mean the Play on Wii stuff? Yeah, this has been known for a while.

**Valigarmander** · 01-17-2009, 03:29 PM

^ Well, it's just been released in Japan, so I went ahead and made a topic for it.

Sounds awesome.

Bring in one of the Pokemon RPGs so I can throw my Pokeballs with the Wiimote. Oh yeah...

Decent idea. I like it.

As long as Nintendo isn't going too far with this to be lazy and not make any new good games like they already are.

Colosseum for the epic win.

they better rerelease super mario sunshine

aiming the water with the wiimote, it practically sells itself

and no im not being sarcastic

Dizzy · 01-19-2009, 06:05 AM

They should do it for Luigi's Mansion. Use the Wiimote to aim the flashlight/vacuum, and when you're sucking up a ghost, you shake the controller (as opposed to pulling in the GCN). It practically resells itself.

Dr. Furball · 01-20-2009, 06:27 AM

Well, this is kinda cool, since I'd never played either game on GameCube and I've been wanting to play Jungle Beat for some time now.

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-20-2009, 12:15 PM

I'm sorry; I can't help but notice that they're porting highly-popular-&-thus-easy-to-find games for a system that is already backwards-compatible.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**X-3** · 01-20-2009, 02:21 PM

^I can't imagine finding these games in anything other than the "used" pile or something.

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-20-2009, 05:02 PM

^Right, yeah, but they're easy to find in the used pile. Or, if you go to an actual game store, on the used shelf where they won't be slopped around. Also consider the probably-large fraction of Rev owners who previously had Gamecubes & likely already own these games anyway.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

But Mario Power Tennis is 35 bucks used. I'd rather get it for the Wii new for 50 or so dollars.
