'''''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''''' is the re-release of [[Pikmin 2 (GC)|Pikmin 2]] on the [[Wii]] as part of the New Play Control! series.


This second game in the Pikmin franchise improves and expands on the real-time fun offered in the first. In [[Pikmin 2 (GC)|Pikmin 2]], Captain Olimar returns to the planet he was originally stranded on, to collect trinkets for his failing company to sell back at home. A new two-character play mechanic has been added, which allows players to switch between two spacemen while collecting items. Along with the new playable character, two new Pikmin types have been included-- large hulking purple Pikmin, and small and feisty white Pikmin. Two-player co-op challenge missions and a competitive mode are also available.

The sound is the next bug issue. There is sound being recognized by the emulator but it is not being interpreted properly and suffers from the same audio issues as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--uQdtfcIgw Dawn of the Dragon]. This is why i have the sound disabled during the recording.

There are no graphical glitches and everything in the core works fine. You can create a save game and play through the game quite well.

Speeds in game tend to stay at about 50FPS or higher for me excluding the MAJOR slowdowns. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDX_bNBS0dU Pikmin 2 Wii (NPC) on Dolphin Wii/GC Emulator (720p HD)]|tester=iNexXxuS}}
