First Donkey Konga screens

[OB1]

From nintendojo:












This actually looks pretty damn good! It does make me cry that this could have been a platformer though...

Hey! The current DK goes back to his roots when he was DKJr.! I bet it's sort of a scripted play and how well he does depends on how well you play the beat. I sure hope Cranky is still his old grumpy self. It would seem from the pics that Cranky is just as curious as DK is about that barrel. I hope he ends up yelling at DK and hitting him about the head and neck with his cane, like any decrepit old fart would.

Click. Watch video (well, flash animation with sound...)... :D

Oh yeah, and the platformer minigame looks cool.

Will we get Donkey Konga too?

[OB1]

Of course we will. It's Donkey Kong! It could be a baking sim and still sell here.

Maybe... though I don't know how many people want drumming games... but then again DDR is successful here so why not drums too? Though the music would obviously be replaced with American stuff... not many Americans would rather have the music selection from the Japanese version.

It's pretty much the spiritual successor to Samba De Amigo, so you know that the hard-core fans with lap it up. And I think it'll look interesting enough to casual gamers.

Yeah, it should do well... I just wonder what took them so long to figure it out...
