    New Play Control

    Franchise »

    GameCube titles re-released for the Wii. The titles added significant adjustments to both graphics and control in order to adjust to the dramatically different Wii interface and modern display standards.

    So about this name.

    Looks like for now there is no official English name for it however Kotaku translated it as "Play On Wii Selection" and other sites are translation it as "Let's play on Wii".

    I already thought it would be a word by word translation, guess that until we have official word about how it will be called in English we could keep this one. I'll add Lets play on the Wii to the aliases so that people will be able to find it even though it is not its official name. If ever we get confirmation about an English name i'll change the page its name.

    edit: heh thats annoying i cant seem to add aliases to franchise pages.

    They're available for preorder on Amazon, so it's safe to assume they're available everywhere

    Looks like it's called New Play Control. Look at that box art though, bleh, looks like a white version of the Platinum Hits for the 360.

    Screw the name, play on Wii, New Play Control, it's all crap. All that matters is if these games improve upon the original.

    That alternate box art looks much better.
