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.

Japan always gets the tasty goodies.

At TGS, Bandai is showing off special "Char" editions of the GameCube and GBA SP. "Char" refers to Char Aznable (aka "The Red Comet"), a character from the Gundam universe's Duchy of Zeon.
