Donkey Konga with Bongos

If you're unsure whether or not to buy this game I must say I heartily recommend it. I bought it from HMV on Friday and have been addicted to it ever since! Certainly much better than I expected it to be, especially when you choose harder difficulty settings. Considering you get the (well made) bongos with the game for no extra cost I consider this game a steal. Buy it now!

and for those of you who always wondered why the original
Donkey Kong game featured a monkey..................
Allegedly to save money the makers of the new game called "Monkey Kong"
had all the game packaging printed in China to save some money. The Chinese
chappy at the printers was not familiar with the western fonts and mistakenly
read "M" as a "D".When the game developers eyed up the new
packaging incorrectly labelled "Donkey Kong" they thought, OH well, we'll go with that.

"apparently" it was printed wrongly on the western playing cards that nintendo originaly made, not game developers boxes

i heard loads of things about that but this one pops up the most

I will second the recommendation for Donkey Konga. Mine arrived via DHL on Monday last week (thanks dvdboxoffice) and it's been in the Cube ever since. I may actually buy the PAL version as well for the different tracks that are available in the UK, not to mention an extra set of bongos.
