Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat port is more than just a port

When Nintendo announced the Play on Wii brand, most expected that GameCube titles would simply be ported over to the Wii. This does not seem to be the case for all titles, however, or at least for Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat. The latest edition of Famitsu reveals a few goodies and changes that have been made for the Wii edition, which may cause others to think twice before passing on the remake. Most importantly, Jungle Beat will feature entirely new levels. Other modifications including enemy placement and check points halfway through a level will be present as well.

At this time, it is unclear if Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat will be the only title from the Play on Wii category that will sport changes. Some insight was provided regarding Pikmin though, in which it was explained that the A button will be used to throw Pikmin while the player can also press B on the Wiimote to gather Pikmin nearby with a whistle call.
