This is a Nintendo Favorite of mine that I sometime almost forget about and does NOT get the credit it sincerely deserves. I remember literally making sure my room mate was not home and doors were locked when playing it cause when your late 20s playing on some Bongos, well you look a little well I guess kinda like a dude with a purple Hannah Montana PSP JP. Game was great as well as Jungle Beat. Its was Nintendo products in prime design in my opinion.

Indeed, one of my favorite Gamecube games and an absolute steal at $19.99. A lot of the song choices were amusing and I wish we got Donkey Konga 3 like Japan did. It had the Stafy music! Anyway, I spent perhaps too much time on this game, particularly at night or when people were sleeping (I had to just prod at the bongos or poke the mic, wasn't as fun).

The Donkey Kong Themes were amazing playin the bongos on. There were some great liscened musin on there as well. This doesnt make a lot of sites music games must have list for some reason but it really should. It was a blast to play and way better than other music games of its time.

I have both EU Donkey Konga games and 3 DK Bongos for the Gamecube / Wii.
I mastered every song, I love to play "Predictable" on very difficult.

I should get the three Japanese Donkey Konga games along with the 2 American ones,
since they all have different songs. So all in all there are 7 different Donkey Konga games, right?

Good thing I have a freeloader for my Wii. Now to hunt down some imports

I thought one of the updates a while ago blocked Freeloader? I sure hope I'm wrong.

I used to suck majorly at the original...then I play Rock Band and never went back. This game is fun though. Used to play it early in the morning before everyone else woke up with the sound off (I know I'm a genius) until my palm was sore.

No really, the Wii updates (at least in EU) blocked nothing at all.

Oh and not to forget having to clap. I used to kick the sensitivity way up and slap it with my thumb on the side of the bongos instead of clapping. I do wish I still had my Wii/GC now that I now know the Japanese versions are different than American. I really wish I would have known that then and I would have imported them.
