I guess it would come down to personal preference which song list is better but the Smash Bros Opening theme is awesome! And Rainbow Cruise is another classic tune.

You gotta love the melee opening theme :dance3:

Donkey Kong Country Theme!!!!

Awesome!!! :P

*Fires up the Bongo drums*

That'd go so well with the Theme.

It's actually the music from the Jungle Hijinxs level (you also hear it on the Jungle Japes level in Smash Bros) and not the title screen music. I wasn't sure what defines the theme song. But yeah it's perfect for the bongos!

Screw all that, i'm excited about those Jamiroquai songs.

Wooooo, DK Rap. :P
I'll be picking this one up early next year.
Thankye UltraGekko. :thumbsup:

I guess the difference in the song list is based on the differing markets of Europe, Japan and the US. Obviously there would be no change to suit the Australian market, like a Guy Sebastian song or something :tomato: , :lol: hence we can claim the European list as ours ;) .

Wow, the US tracklist REALLY sucks. The PAL release is so much better. Although the Jap tracks are better than both. Nothing can beat the Pikmin commercial song and Masque Nada.

By the way I heard that these aren't the original recordings, rather redone and sung by nobodies.

Turkish March and Hungarian Dance are fun to bongo to. But you can't go pass the 4player Donkey Konga Theme. Soooo fun.

-Stompy

Cool. Some pure quality tracks there. This could actually turn out to be one hell of a game.

So, DK comes out this thursday, no?

Click

I'll take that as a yes.... <_<

So, who's buying it?

Seems like a decent party game so I'll be picking it up sometime with a couple of DK drums.

You do know that you'll need to order them from Nintendo directly.

I'm sure they'll be available online soon.

Yeah a bit crappy that you need to order the drums directly, considring its a multiplayer game, but at least they're availble.

How are they each?

They're fairly robust and solid, from what I hear...

:P

LOL :lol:


But the game comes with 1 set though doesn't it? :S

Yes it does fellow brother.

I'm upset Mas Que Nada isn't in the PAL version. :(

-Stompy

I believe additional drums are $49.95 each.

That's not too bad. Looks like I'll be picking up the game and a set of drums (maybe two) for Christmas.

*looks at Konga box in his hands*

*laughs maniacally*

So I was playing Donkey Konga. I started off with a really slow song, and it was just boring, then I upped the ante, and it got pretty damn fun. Then my dad came home.. wondered what all the racket was, came upstairs, laughed.... it all went downhill from there

For some weird reason I thought that Donkey Konga came with no drums to begin with and you had to add them directly and seperately.

I saw the awesome box today and was tempted to get it right there and then. But then I remember GTA, Paper Mario 2, Pikim 2, etc... :(

*slaps*

Just buy it! BUY IT ALL!!!!!!

I was so close to buying a PS2 and San Andreas yesterday while at EB, but I thought that was pretty foolish...... then I heard Prez had done the same, but paid about $600. :P

What?!?!!? :nooo:

That's just crazy, CRAZY!!!!! ?!? :P

I was in the same sitaution as you DC, tempted to purchase Donkey Konga because it is insane fun, but remembered in a few weeks about the avalanche of other games :huh:

Couldn't help myself. :P

I ended up getting one of the slim line PS2s, a copy of San Andreas, Final Fantasy X two memory cards, two sets of component/s-video cables (one for the Xbox and the other works for both GCN and PS2) and I put down a preorder on the LE of Half-Life 2.

Aaaaaaaand... I may go get Donky Konga on the way home tonight.

The PAL list rocks... 99 Red Balloons, Tub Thumpin, Don't Stop Me Now, all great songs.

Well I guess it's cool that you have all 3 consoles :) .

Looks like the christmas buying is starting to kick in and my guess is that's it's only the beginning.

Why did you purchase two memory cards ElPrez? I have 20+ game files already stored on mine and it still isn't full.

Can anyone comment on how effective the bongo drums are? Do they respond to all taps or do you have to bang on certain places?

I really, really want this game.



















































Really.

This game rocks. It's a bummer you need 4 sets of bongos for multiplayer. I can't really imagine playing it with the controller.

Did anyone else notice the classic arcade Donkey Kong music. And I just found out you can change the drum noises to the arcade sound effects.

Yeah you can, but it detracts from the song, and you end up really screwing up. You can also change the bongo sounds to a whole range of different sounds.

I just finished having a 3-4 hour Konga session with my mates, great fun.. and we didn't even try the multiplayer aspect! Needless to say, I can't feel my fingers.

DC, I have played the game and the drums are very responsive, you dont have to bang them at all, hell you dont even have to clap, but I would clap anyway simply because it was a natural reaction. It is a quality product :) .

You actually clap?

In gorilla difficulty, there's no way you can clap and bang on the drums in quick concession.

I just smack the crap outta the side of it.

Well I dont own the game, so I havent played such an intense difficulty, but yeah I have heard that its essentially impossible to clap on those extermely hard beat requirments.

:( you are listing my broken dreams.

I mean, you're making my wait for donkey konga harder. :P

I think i'm going to have permanent finger damage by the end of the month.

And then Nintendo will release a special ape Donkey Kong glove to use the bongos, like with the Mario Party N64 games glove ;) .

Apparently Kmart have donkey konga on sale for $75. Now there is no reason to buy, great price!!
