New Elements for Play it on Wii Selection Titles

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat getting new stages.

November 12, 2008 - Were you expecting Nintendo's Play it on Wii lineup to consist of GameCube titles updated with simple Wii controls? It turns out that Nintendo may be putting a bit more effort into the games.

Famitsu reports that one of the games, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, will be getting more than just a control update. Nintendo will be changing the gimmicks found in each stage, repositioning enemies, and adding mid-level check points. On top of this, those who played the GameCube original can look forward to completely new stages.

As for the control changes, Nintendo appears to be converting Jungle Beat into a more traditional platformer. The original had a unique control system that made use of the GameCube's bongo controllers. For the Wii version, you control Donkey Kong with the analogue pad on the nunchuck, and make him jump with the A button. The game does use motion controls for a few moves, including punching at enemies and performing continuous jumps.

For the Play it on Wii Selection version of Pikmin, Famitsu makes no mention of additional content aside from the new control scheme. To control the game now, you, as expected, point directly at your Pikmin using the Wiimote. You can point at locations on the screen and press A to toss Pikmin around. Or, you can press B to call out to the Pikmin.

These first two Play it on Wii Selection titles hit Japan in December, with Donkey Kong coming first on the 11th and Pikmin following on Christmas Day.
