"New Play Control! Pikmin released on March 9, 2009 for the Wii with a MSRP of $29.99. The game was originally a Nintendo GameCube game released in 2001, and like other New Play Control! Wii games it was updated with new Wii Remote/Nunchuk controls.
The game received an ESRB rating of "Everyone" with "Mild Violence" listed as content for gamers and parents to be aware of.
How many hours have Wii owners reported controlling Pikmin with Captain Olimar in the game, since it released just over 3 years ago? Also, are the new play controls better than the original? Let's take a look!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Hardcore Gamer - New Play Control Pikmin is coming soon to the Wii U eShop at an attractive price point.
This reminds me how I always wanted GameCube titles to be ported to Virtual Console or for Nintendo to do more HD remasters of them on Wii U or handheld versions on 3DS.

Set aside an hour this Saturday, go buy the biggest SD card you can afford (I use a 256gb) and you'll be playing Metroid Prime, Pikmin, F-Zero GX, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and many others in HD widescreen with a Wii U Pro controller (or PS4 controller or new X1S controller). Or, if you prefer, with an actual GameCube controller via Smash Adapter.
Just, hold yourself accountable and only run in games you own. That's how we support the devs.
Now that Super Mario Galaxy has made its way to the Wii U eShop, what other games should come to the Wii U Virtual Console? Some are more likely than others.
Super Mario Sunshine!!! I REALLY need it. It's the only 3D Mario I don't own. I used to own it but was dumb to sell a decade back. A HD Remake would be even better!
What i think needs to be on the e shop is ALL the virtual console games that the Wii had.. Turbo graphx, neo geo, genesis, & way more offerings from the retro nintendo consoles..
With the recent re-release of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Punch-Out, and the Metroid Prime Trilogy, we take a look at other Wii games that deserve the same treatment.
They missed one key one ... Resident Evil IV .... best version was on Wii U with the Wiimote.
I'd kill to see Pandora's Tower get a re-release, especially if it comes with a patch to fix the freezing glitch...
It is getting released here in UK/Europe.. It was shown on part of the direct along with sin and punishment 2
Well I'm state-side, so unless it's announced for the states alongside a proper patch for the game...
They must re-release the first two Pikmim games, although in their GameCube versions, I'm not fan of Wiimotes that much.
Wii remotes made the game a lot more manageable since it was more like having a mouse to control the game with.
Zelda twilight without a doubt needs to come, wiiu needs all the help it can get, this game is much needed in the Eshop.
Yep, and it'd probably be even better with a mouse... hmm
