Donkey Kong - King of Swing continues the great experiment

Donkey Konga

Donkey Kong has always been a great vehicle for Nintendo to test out new ideas. The bongo drum controller being the latest example. The latest DK title to be announced is Donkey Kong - King of Swing. The title will be released for the Gamecube on February 4th, 2005, the same day as Donkey Kong's other title will see the light of day — Jungle Beat. The double hit of ape is an effort by Nintendo to give its innovative bongo controller a little more value. If that's possible.

UPDATE: Mr. Kabir has correctly pointed out that this is actually a GBA title. I misread the story and thought this was an announcement of a new GC version of the game as well. My apologies for the mistake. The real news is that Donkey Kong will see two titles come out on February 4th, 2005 — King of Swing for GBA and Jungle Beat for GC.
