'''New Play Control!''' (Japanese ''Wii de Asobu'', lit. "Play on Wii" or "Enjoy with Wii") is a series of [[Nintendo GameCube]] games ported to the [[Wii]] using the motion controls of the [[Wii Remote]] and sometimes the [[Nunchuk]]. The game may also have graphical enhancements or changes such as the support of widescreen.  New Play Control! is also known as NPC.  All the titles have reversable cases. The reversed cased looks like the original game covers. As of 2009, seven games were remade in Japan, six in Europe and Australia, and five in North America. The Japan-only game is ''Chibi-Robo'', and the other game that North America has not gotten is ''Pikmin 2''. ''Metroid Prime'' and its sequel, while not labeled as Wii Play Control, are included together with ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' in the ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime Trilogy|Metroid Prime Trilogy]]'' compilation.
