Just a friendly neighborhood reminder that Donkey Kong Jungle Beat still rocks. You should all take a little break and go bang on those bongos. And don’t forget, the team that made this game, Nintendo’s Tokyo division, is making Super Mario Galaxy. Enjoy your day!

Kinda off the wall, but OK!

Yeah it rocks.
This has got to be one of my favorite titles this generation.
It’s not a blockbuster or even full of unparalled replay value, but it is one of the only games where I sat down and smiled the whole way through.

HECK YEAH JUNGLE BEAT FOR LIFE
I friggin’ loved this game. When I think about playing my NES and SNES, I think that THIS is how gaming should have evolved.
The only problem with the game is that it left you wanting more. But with the Wiimotes, I don’t think we’ll be seeing another Bongo slamming sidescroller.

Nice! I was playing this game last weekend. Got a few more platinum crests. Very fun game, and even motivates you to become an expert at every level.

Hehe, thanks for the reminder. Kinda like Jimmeny(?) Cricket on my shoulder, my conscious reminding me to pick it up

This needs to be on the front page of Digg!

With these people working behind Galaxy, we know it’s gonna be a hit.
Fish - 05.24.06 10:33 pm

aurgh..
I Had A Chance, But Lost It..
Must.. Find.. Sales..
On A Side Note, I Just Wonder How ‘Bongo Blast’ Will Be Like, Looks Rather Fun!

I’m confused.
I thought it was a young new internal nintendo team that made jungle beat, and Miyamoto was very happy that in over 20 years, no one had ever left his mario team that made all the AAA+ mario platformers.
That would suck if his team isn’t doing it.
Maybe the jungle beat guys are just doing the art? DK:JB is a visual orgy, one of the best looking games on any system in that generation, though admittedly not as eye-candy-packed as Crystal Chronicles…
Can someone clear this up for me?

Speaking of Crystal Chronicles… CC on the Wii looks… ugh?
Joey - 05.25.06 9:19 am
Fear not - the wii CC looks, in my opinion, to be the very vague half-assed kind of trailer you throw together just so people know you are making a game at all, I’m sure it’s not indicative of anything, & the game will come out wayyyy later than they tell us and visually surpass CC1 considerably.
Now can anyone clear up if Miyamoto’s mario team is on galaxy or if its someone else for some reason?

@FISH - no need to curse to make your point. if it is a must please censor it with * or something. nothing against you from me - but my work filter has a lot against it. and after so many detections a site is blocked.
anyway - i just got this game a month ago and you are right - it rocks! the graphics are amazing as well.

Oh yeah!
When I play Odama for a long time and become super frustrated, I thow my controller (but not too hard) and plug my bongo for DK Jungle Beats.
And I smash them as hard as I can to let all the rage flow.
pain releiver are my friends!
