DK: Jungle Beat Wiimake in June News

How will it cope with the clapping bits? Later levels I had me on bongos and my brother clapping!

Surely this would be like remaking guitar hero without the guitar peripheral? It would lose part of it's appeal and would just slip into a myriad of other remote shaking games? Yes it still has the winning Nintendo characters but without the bongos it just feels a little too generic.

Although I missed it on the cube I'd be happier if we would get an ExciteBots or Punch Out release date rather than this.

Watch this.

Will it use WiiMotion Plus? That would have much SUCH a difference to Samba de Amigo.

Jungle Beat without bongo's.... There really is no point....

Expensive bongos? I seem to remember them being about Ł20 plus game for most of the time they were on sale.

@Anthony_UK:

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.

@20charactersmax: That video spends ages discussing how the game having 6 save files rather than 3 is a major selling point. You can even copy and erase save games! Day 1 purchase for me!

can they announce some new games

I've still got two sets of bongos plus all the DK games. They were practically giving them away a couple of years ago. I bet I got my new Cube/game/bongo package for less than this remake will go for at retail.

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" ?

"Will it use WiiMotion Plus? That would have much SUCH a difference to Samba de Amigo. "

No it wouldnt have.. I wish people would stop thinking motion plus somehow solves ALL the problems of everything!

I can understand some of the reaction for this game, the bongo's were a unique and fun control method and the game may be diminished by the lack of them, but at the same time vring the game to a whole new audience.

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.

yes the cube was great, but they are neglecting people who have played these already by not making new games.
