Nintendo has announced that the first Gamecube games to gain Wii motion support will be Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis, both of which are available now. The games will be released under the New Play Control! banner, which is meant to bring Wii control to older Gamecube favorites. The other feature to be added to New Play Control! games will be widescreen support.

On a side note, the next New Play Control! game to be released will be Donkey Kong Jungle Beat on May 4th. From Nintendo:

"New Play Control! Pikmin puts players in the role of Captain Olimar, a space traveler who’s stranded on a strange alien planet. Only an army of quirky creatures called Pikmin can help him repair his ship and survive the elements. With New Play Control! enhancements, players can now maneuver and command up to 100 Pikmin with a point of the Wii Remote controller, dodging obstacles and foes while working toward a heroic escape.

New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis finds Nintendo’s superstar plumber storming the court for some outrageous tennis action, joined by a roster of his unpredictable pals. Building on the skills they’ve honed with the Wii Sports™ video game, players can now use the Wii Remote controller like a tennis racket to make characters hit forehand or backhand, applying spin and charging up to perform devastating special moves. Seasoned pros can even attach the Nunchuk™ controller for added precision as they play their way through traditional matches, mini-games and crazy Gimmick Courts."
