New Donkey Kong Game

[Cactus Drags]

Sorry, I can't remember the name, but I just played the new Donkey Kong Game (the one with the bongos) for GC at Gamestation. It's a fresh take on the whole dancemat genre, and it's really quite amusing. My mate reckons he's getting a GC just so he can play it, but I doubt it'll happen. It'd be great to play multiplayer when pissed. Anyone else played it?

It's too expensive. I mean it is really fun, but still not worth the money we would have to spend to play it.

[Cactus Drags]

You're kidding, right? It's normal price...

[Your Mom]

Not if you want to play with more than one person at the same time. Those Bongos are 30 bucks a piece.

[Cactus Drags]

Take turns, cheapskate

Donkey Konga = The Suck

Use-less game, you'll buy it, have fun and then boom.

It's al lgone and now you have a set of useless bongos.

[Cactus Drags]

Didn't say I was gonna buy it, I said it was fun, I can't believe you don't agree

I can believe it's not butter, but there you go.

It's kinda like Dance Revolution where the game is normal price and then they soak you with those freakin' pads for forty bucks.

[Cactus Drags]

It's only like a light-gun or dance-mat. Price'll drop anyways.

Most rythem games are somewhat cool, Too bad I hate that dice shaped console and will never touch Donkey Konga in my lifetime.

[Cactus Drags]

Play it on one of the demo machines in the shops then. It's amusing, especially when "All The Small Things" is reduced to tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap, tap-tap

*sigh* Do none of you read Nintendo Official Magazine?

There is another Donkey Kong game coming out which will use the bongo drums as it's controller and it's an adventure game. Many other games manufacturers are considering the idea of using the drums in their games. Reports from NOM indicate that a new Sonic game coming to the GC will use the bongo drums also.

So it won't be a useless peripheral in fact so nuh.

I'm not childish...

'cube fanboy eh?

The gimmick will die off soon, and "reports indicating" isn't helping your case. It'd get pretty friggin' annoying to use those bongos to actually control an adventure game. I see 90 percent of all gamers instantly using the normal controller off the bat instead of getting annoyed with the bongos.

Games are meant to be played with controllers is the way I see it. The dance-mats appear cool at first, for an arcade-type appeal, but the best games will never be related to these types of gimmicks.

Do you have the same kind of opinion where peripherals such as the EyeToy are concerned as you do with dance mats and bongo drums?

[apsham]

Yes. Yes I do.

Here's a link to a Donkey Kong - Jungle Beat preview just in case no-one believed me Donkey Kong - Jungle Beat Preview from NOM

Wow, three or so games with Bongo Drums, all three which are past their best-before date and all three which will die a slow death along with those drums :thumbsup:
