Players will shake their remotes and nunchucks at the same time to accelerate, rattle one of the controllers when steering to the left or right, and lift both pieces to jump. <br /><br />This modified control setup makes a lot of sense, but does it sound fun? In our opinion, this seems like it would have been better left on the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gamecube">GameCube</a>. It'd be appreciated if developer Paon would give us the choice to use our old bongos, but with no mention of the option yet for the, it's doubtful.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/16/dk-bongo-blasts-bothersome-controls/">DK Bongo Blast's bothersome controls</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 16 Apr 2007 10:45:00 EST.
