Donkey Konga, o.O Options

[Mute]

A buddy of mine just showed me this little news snippet from a UK based gaming site:

Updated: Tuesday, 19th August 2003 Well, the rumours were true. Speaking to Japanese games bible Famitsu, Nintendo's head honcho Satoru Iwata has confirmed that Namco are developing Donkey Konga, a drumming-based rhythm action game for GameCube. Nintendo will also be releasing a special controller for use with the game, which will be called the 'Nintendo GameCube Conga Drum'. Snappy name, eh? Unsurprisingly, development of the game is being handled by the Namco team behind the Japanese drumming hit Taiko no Tatsujin, so the game certainly seems to be in good hands. That said, it still seems a bit of a shame that we won't be getting some Donkey Kong platform action on the 'Cube... Unless, of course, Ninty have any more surprises up their sleeves. Expect to see a Japanese release of Donkey Konga and the drum controller in the spring of 2004.

The next generation Samba de Amigo perhaps? Sadly enough, I actually wanna try this game out! Well, at least it's being developed by Namco, so perhaps it won't be bad afterall. ^-^

I would love to see a DK on GCN but ever since Rare got bought out it seems that may not happen too soon...eh. StarFox was their last title from what I know and that game was great...but a little on the short side of playtime. Had it beat within a week or so. Too fast for me, although I had fun figuring out some of the puzzles in it. It was great.

f a DK is made for GCN I would hope it would be slightly different than the DK64. That game felt too much like a reamake of Banjo-Tooie in my mind...except the teleport pads were not labeled...
