Rather than a Donkey Kong-themed racing game (which has been tried on the Wii to little success), Jungle Speed is most likely a Wii version of a card game of the same name, in which players must get rid of all their cards while racing to take possession of a totem.
We suspect that this title will end up on WiiWare: Jungle Speed also has a rating on the American ESRB, which lists its publisher as Playful Entertainment. Playful states on their website that they have "multiple, unannounced titles" planned for WiiWare.
In bonus OFLC news, Mercs, Enduro Racer, and M.U.S.H.A. have also been rated! Awesome games from Sega consoles incoming!

Next Level's focus is on fun. They have shown that they are able to create games that acheive the difficult balance between being both easily accessible to new players yet still retaining incredible depth and strategy for advanced players. Their involvement makes me even more excited for punch-out, if that's possible.

Next Level has a good grasp on the thrill of cartoon violence, making Strikers as intense as they did, without losing focus on fun, like patrick said
A good balance. I am confident in their ability
