DK: Jungle Beat Wiimake in June
Congo wrong with this one.
Nintendo has announced a 5th June release date for New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
This is another of the GameCube remakes for Wii, following the likes of Pikmin and Mario Power Tennis from earlier in the year. The best up to now, for our money, is definitely Pikmin 2.
DK: Jungle Beat comes back to life with two extra stages plus the mandatory Wiimote controls. The GameCube original had a bongo peripheral to pound in time with musical prompts, which rewarded you with banana points depending on your accuracy.
Jungle Beat was short but refreshingly unique, and scrapping the need for the expensive bongos could make this Wiivamp worthwhile.
Head over to our review of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat on GameCube for our thoughts, or wait a little while longer for the Wiimake review.

My thoughts exactly. The impact on the bongos really made that game. Every level left you feeling like you'd just been in an actual fight. I'm sure it'd be functional with Wii controls, but you may as well play it on a controller if you can't get the bongos.

Love the bongos though, I'm not usually into peripheral games but there was something great about them.

Yeah about a week after release in 2005 I got the game plus the bongos for 29.99 from Gamestation. "Expensive" ?

What's disappointed me mostabout wii play releases is the negative reaction of some posters on this site. They say that is just releasing old games but for the Wii, but let's face it, the Gamecube was a fantastic console, blessed with loads of great exclusive games that NO-ONE bought. Surely releasing them for the wii with a potential for reaching a much wider audience is good not only for some of the masterpieces that were released on Cube but also for gamers as a whole that did not catch them first time around or for an entirely new audience that did not know these games existed.
Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, resi remake, F-Zero and Rogue leader please.
