Nintendo is rereleasing Pikmin 2 and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with new Wii-friendly, remote control features, the publisher announced today.
The first GameCube to Wii remake from Nintendo to release under the “Play On Wii” label will be 2005′s Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. (It hits Japan on Dec. 11, with a Aussie release unconfirmed.) Formerly controlled by smacking and clapping near the DK Bongos controller — which I happened to snatch up day one, my judgment still impaired by a five minute play session at E3 — the Wii version will simply use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to make Kong run, jump and slap. But that’s not all that’s changing, according to a report from Famitsu by way of IGN.
