Donkey Kong Bongo Blast release notes

What? A brand new Donkey Kong bongo game for the Nintendo Gamecube shows up, and Nintendo doesn't even bother to show it off on their show floor? We realize that the Gamecube is on its way out, but robbing us of the opportunity to play another DK bongo game is downright criminal. The new game features aerial racing, with DK and the crew tilting and turning in response to your brutal bongo bashing. It's no Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat 2 (Wii version, please), but we'll take it. From the official fact sheet:"Donkey Kong and his pals have gotten their mitts on some high-powered Barrel Jets – incredible engines that boost when struck by a pilot. By beating on the DK Bongos controller, players can make their character swoop up, bank side to side and launch attacks on rivals."
Check out the video here.

I got the bundled Bongos and Donkey Konga from Walmart for only $15. It was a great deal, but the game got boring real quick and the minigames weren't much fun. I ended it trading it in with a bunch of stuff this past weekend and picked up Guitar Hero.
I don't miss those lame bongos at all....

Sweet another Bongos game! I loved Jungle Beat to death, and Donkey Konga 1 & 2 were fun for a while too. DK is one of my favorite Nintendo characters (I mean, he is a giant monkey who wears a tie, how cool be that?), and I always welcome more DK games, especially since my GC has done nothing but collect dust since I got my 360.
