Japanese game magazine Famitsu is reporting some surprising new details about two of the upcoming Play on Wii GameCube ports, specifically regarding Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. It was previously assumed that the only new additions to Play on Wii games would be Wii Remote-centered control schemes. Well, there’s more. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will contain new and different content, including checkpoints, repositioned enemies, and even brand new levels. The controls will also be changed to those of a more traditional platformer, replacing the bongos with the Wii control stick and buttons.
No new content has been reported for Pikmin, but some control details have been revealed. As you’d probably assume, you can use the pointer to aim and A to throw or B to call Pikmin. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will be released in Japan on December 11th, with Pikmin hitting on Christmas Day.
