Nintendo has announced the release dates for the first games in its New Play Control range. Pikmin is the first game to arrive on 6 February and Mario Power Tennis will be released a month later on 6 March.

Both games are part of Nintendo's New Play Control range which sees GameCube classics being released on Wii. The games have been tweaked to make them compatible with the Wii controllers so you'll be pointing and selecting with the Remote in Pikmin and waving your Remote to hit the ball in Mario Power Tennis.

Pikmin has you playing as Captain Olimar, a spaceman who has crash-landed on a planet inhabited by little flower creatures called Pikmin. With their help you can rebuild your spaceship within 30 days.


Each type of Pikmin has unique strengths, which Olimar must use to his advantage. Red Pikmin can withstand high temperatures, blue Pikmin can survive in water, while yellow Pikmin can destroy obstacles by using bomb-rocks. Players can control 100 Pikmin at any one time and you can select them with the Wii Remote.

Also, the new version of the game has an updated save mechanism which allows you to restart play from any day you please.

As for Mario Power Tennis, you'll be using your Wii Remote to play backhands, smashes and power shots on themed courts. There is plenty of Mario madness going on as the Tournament mode has you playing on regular courts and Gimmick courts such as the Luigi's Mansion arena where you have to scare away ghosts.

There are also some mini-games to play. Artist On The Court lobs special paintballs at you and challenges you to knock them onto the appropriate areas of an uncoloured picture. In Terror Tennis, you have to hit balls at moving ghosts.

That's all for now but there will be more New Play Control games on the way including Pikmin 2 and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

    Then really only other thing I can imagine is that "Deleted User XXXXXX" still shows the sig with personal website/gamer profile or whatever, but I'd think sigs are disabled anyway for deleted users
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Couple of ones I do run don't have the blurb, as we only run domain local cookies for keeping login data etc. (no google or whatever) and those are legal under GDPR without any extra notification.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I assume they just have whatever cloudflare has
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @lwiz, When accounts get banned, email address and everything else is still logged, but not for deleted users (except for their profile picture and banner if they have one.)
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    ^this might be an issue, although keeping the details for preventing further misuse probably falls in to the fair use clauses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Temps been around since 2002 I'm sure they know what they're doing lol
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Yeah. Of course wherever the site is located GDPR brought in further complications concerning the personal data of EU citizens
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    An entire data wipe just for one user sounds silly on any website
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    There are people demeding silly things because they're specail snowflakes and "in the know" even if actually clueless
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    *demanding - hate the keyboard of this lappy
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Well a site owner could say they deleted everything and still keep records of it not saying this site would just that they easily could
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Plus other users quote information so they have to go in and delete every quote they made to that user as well
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And that has what lead to data breaches, because the companies lack the ethics of keeping their security up-to-date. They fail to understand and respond to protocols whenever they're told.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Wanting just your data gone from a website doesn't have much to do with security unless two users leaked personal info admins shouldn't have to get involved
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Well the user can demand to see all the data that's stored on them, and GDPR demands this in "reasonable timeframe". Even one month is reasonable. And as said, you don't have copyright on your part of "collaborative creation" so there isn't any law requiring the deletion of posts (and ruining the threads in the same time).

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Which is also silly within forums because you should already know the data you put in
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    (unless the said posts contain information directly doxxing that
    person)
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah if a person is under actual life threat or info stolen that's when higher ups should step in not just wah I don't want to be part of this site anymore
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Yup. Anyway, sleeptime for me, g'nite!

    @lwiz, G'night mate.
