Donkey Kong Jungle Beat - Wii de Asobu - New, Backorder

«©NCSX» NCS originally stocked the Gamecube version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat in 2004 which was an innovative platform game controlled entirely with a drum accessory called the Taru-Konga. The Wii update of the game does away with the drums and revamps the control scheme so that everything is controlled with the Nunchuk and Wii Remote. The updated controls are as follows:

Nunchuk Thumbstick - Movement
Wii Remote A Button - Jump
Wii Remote B Button - Duck
Wii Remote or Nunchuk Motion - Clap

With the controller revamp, DKJB plays like a champ and making DK clap has never been easier where banana-sized fingers create a sonic boom. Kong also engages in fights with end-level apes and other bosses where the Nunchuk and Wii Remote are wagged to and fro to throw left hooks and right jabs. This type of ape-powered fighting puts the term "Jungle Beat" in a new light. In between stages, Kong engages in side challenges including one where he rides a wildebeest named Mooshin. «G-Notes»
