Topic: New Donkey Konga Info

[Jonnyboy117]

Details are finally surfacing on Nintendo's first Bemani game.

Japanese gaming site Quiter (link above) is reporting that the new issue of Dorimaga magazine has a load of information on Nintendo's upcoming music game, Donkey Konga.

Apparently, up to four players can participate in the game's selection of 32 songs, which range from kids' songs to pop, latin, and dance music.  There is also a game mode like Donkey Kong Junior; perhaps you control the younger gorilla by keeping up with the beat.   A music game like this demands its own crazy controller, and Donkey Konga will be no exception.  The controller is called Barrel Konga and is 30 cm (one foot) wide.  It is made up of two side-by-side conga drums that you play with your hands.  We assume that you have to take turns to play the four-player modes, but the controller does have the ability to recognize handclaps from bystanders, so everyone can join in and participate in the game

Hm, a friend of mine went to Japan once. He said they have those drum games all over the place. It's for the little kids to prepare them for DDR.
