Hope it has multiplayer 100's of songs and beats to play. It is kongo drums so thats cool. Lets hope they sell it in my area!

second- if it is donkey konga- then i may have to buy it- if anyone has played samba de amingo then you know how awesome music games with odd instruments can be- unfortunately it can be expensive...
but i doubt this is real yet- and i thought that miyamoto said before in an interview (with pgc i think) that there was a donkey kong being made internally by nintendo
maybe that game is this "donkey konga" and the platform game is being made by namco
i haven't heard of a music game made by namco as of yet, so it would be odd to partner with a company that has no experience with it
so my theory is that there could be 2 games being made now- i dont know if that is true but it makes sence to me

Miyamoto once commented that there was a new DKC game in development that would be "2D meets 3D". So that's going to be the platformer. We probably won't see it for a while though since it will be the longest in development.
Nintendo has apparently been toying with a music game for a while. There were reports of a Pikachu music title a while ago. I think Nintendo just changed direction with the game and decided to make it a DK game instead. That's
"Donkey Konga".
As for Namco. Since Nintendo is making a new Pacman game, I think it's making a new version of the DK arcade game. That just makes the most sense since Namco is known for classic arcade games.
Post by: rpglover on August 13, 2003, 01:37:21 PM
basically nintendo and namco could create an "updated classics" game which would feature some new connectivity in old games to give them a new fresher feel- it would make sence since then they could actually put together these games and maybe some others- selling just pac-man might prove to be too expensive for most people
i just feel there has to be at least 2 donkey kong titles- miyamoto did say that the next donkey kong will be 2d meets 3d in an interview sometime so there has to be at least 2 if donkey konga is real
konga could prove to be an interesting title- i liked samba de amingo a lot so it could be good
we shall see soon hopefully

Namco has released a couple of drum games in Japan for PS2. The two games combined have sold about 900k.

If you don't watch your attitude, you will be banned. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it a terrible idea. Plenty of gamers get into this kind of thing. -Bloodworth

I'm sick of constant bashing on games that have little info released on them. One, how bout you wait and see how it's like, instead of this childish *****ing? Two, drum games are incredibly popular in Japan. So this game focuses more on that audience.

WE WANT MORE GAMES
*nitendo delivers a new game*
NO WE SAID WE WANT MORE REHASHES
*nintendo brings out mario party 6*
NO WE SAID WE WANT NEW GAMES
and so the cycle goes on...
Post by: Michael8983 on August 14, 2003, 12:36:04 AM
I guess Donkey Konga is definitly the Namco game since Namco has made some drum games before. What probably happened is Namco was already planning a new drum game and simply convinced Nintendo to allow them to use DK characters in it to help it sell. Nintendo itself is still of course making the "2D meets 3D" DKC platform game that Miyamoto mentioned.
And, come to think of it, there already was an updated version of the original DK arcade game shown at E3 LAST year which I'm sure will eventually be released. If I recall correctly, it was actually a GBA game and simply used the Gamecube through the connectivity feature to design levels.
Maybe Nintendo will just convert it into an entirely GCN title and include it in a collection with Miyamoto's rendition of Pacman or maybe as a pre-order bonus for one of the bigger DK titles or something.
So, yeah, that's three entirely different Donkey Kong games we have to look forward to.

Donkey Kong + was only a GBA version of the Super Game Boy game Donkey Kong(also known as Donkey Kong '95). Nintendo seem to have transformed this simple rehash into a completely new game.

And why are they targetting the Japanese market? I believe they are having trouble in the US and Europe...they seem to be clearly second in Japan. They should really focus in those areas.

For the record, Nintendo is second in Europe as well. There are indeed a few European countries where the GameCube isn't selling well, but overall the GameCube has sold more units than the X-Box.

Yeah, i think nintendo should make Xtreme Titty Volleyball.....then my friends wouldn't laugh at me.
You are just joking, aren't you? Geez, I hope so.
God forbid we have a diverse and fun selection of games on the Gamecube! Wouldn't that be horrible. Heck, I might buy this game just to spite you whiney bitches.

franchise... Even so, the DK Plataformer wont be the title to bring back Nintendo back to number 1.... More "mature" titles like
Geist, stuff from Silicon Knights ect will do that instead.
Post by: Smadte on August 14, 2003, 07:05:30 PM
Come on, you guys have to admit that this sounds like a Play-Skool toy idea. Playing konga drums with "Donkey and friends"?
I honestly can't imagine myself sitting in my room and playing this thing.Post by: Michael8983 on August 14, 2003, 08:17:33 PM
I honestly can't imagine myself sitting in my room and playing this thing."Maybe you're just not familiar with how these kinds of games work.
It's not just some pointless, toy for kids where you just bang on drums.
These kinds of games are all about rhythm and are usually very challenging and require a lot of concentration and skill.
I doubt the drums will be required either. Like Samba De Amiga it will probably be playable with the standard controllers too.

My sentaments exactly, even if this game is getting lower scores than Superman 64 I would still buy it just to spite them all as well.
But that is probably just because I'm very spiteful.

) and so most nintendo exclusive gamers wouldn't necessarily played dance/rythem games and so 1) wouldn't think to much of it, 2) not have much interest in it at all, i know i haven't played any of these sort of games before, never played a DDR, never a samba de amigo, the closest i have come is a demo of parapa the rapper 2 on PS2 (whassup with the noodles?)either way i would urge people to try this game, if you dont like it you dont like it, and there is nothing wrong with that, but allways be willing to try new things, lest the video game industry fall into depressing stagnation.

*Caution*Run-on sentence to follow...
Answer:
Because they latch on to anything perceived as cool by the media or their peers, and anything that deviates from this perceived coolness they immediately dismiss as garbage for fear of retribution from their peers if they, god forbid, choose to think for themselves and give a game with one ounce of originality a fair chance.
