Got Donkey Konga last night...

oh

my

god

Namco, I love you guys, but you really need to come out with expansion packs in the US (I heard the Jap ones weren't FreeLoader Friendly) fucking now, with more minigames and songs.

Love it, guys! Love it!

 

[bitwise]

Nifty keen.

For a second, i was expected that to see pics of that nude Spiderman at a Nintendo event playing DK. i'm glad that wasn't the case, but at the same time, i'm somewhat disappointed.

That's UK version, tho. Looks plenty insane with that tempo pickup. :-X

naked spider-man

If it's any consolation, he's not wearing any pants behind that.

 

[radioheadrule83]

If you're not in Europe import the PAL version. I play both the US / PAL versions interchangably with Freeloader... no problems whatsoever.

The Smash Bros Theme is godly. As are a lot of the PAL specific songs.

Which version of Freeloader? I'm assuming I'll have to buy a new one, because the last one I bought was when I imported Soul Calibur II the Easter before release.

 

[radioheadrule83]

I was using 1.06 last..

I had 1.04 but gave it to a friend, so I can't test for you. If you've got 1.06 though, you're sorted.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Taiko>Konga

 

[Suikoguy]

Yay for Space Channel 5!
oh wait.. this is about Donkey Konga

I might pick that up one day

 

[Do The Mario]

Earth wind and fire's: September >>>>> US version

 

[Bog]

It's Like Wow > *

 

[AniHawk]

Taiko>Konga

Eh, I'd agree, but the fucking drums on Konga spoiled me. So much easier. At E3, Taiko > Konga because I think the Taiko drums weren't so damned hard to hit. Taiko has a better overall song selection, though.

And Matlock... Donkey Konga 2 (expansion pack, basically) is coming out sometime next year.

 

[Matlock]

I'll look into Taiko, but this just means that I'll have less money for a PSP later. Hrrm. :-\

I love the Rainbow Cruise theme from Mario 64

 

[captainbiotch]

Now get a second drum and invite someone over for some konga deathmatches

 

[BenT]

 

[Wario64]

Metal Arms PS2 version? Ugh. Should have gotten the Cube version at least :|

 

[Matlock]

Eh? What's wrong with it? (got it as a gift via that Wal-Mart online sale)

Other than...I'm guessing loading times, but they don't bother me all that much.

 

[DarkScorpion]

The only problem with playing the JP version through Freeloader if you don't have a Japanese Gamecube is that you can't save. Shame too because Donkey Konga 2 has alot more of unlockables.

Unless you have a modded Gamecube, then I believe its not a problem.

Donkey Konga 2 JP > Donkey Konga EU > Donkey Konga JP > Donkey Konga US

And I should know because I own them all.

 

[kiryogi]

Konga 1/2 import rocks! Can't wait for Konga 3, songlist looks awesome.

 

[DarkScorpion]

Wait, Donkey Konga 3 playlist?

Where?

 

[Hero]

Does anyone have a complete songlist of ALL Donkey Konga's? ( US/EU/JP1+2 )

Hit detection is unfortunately really poor on Taiko.. like Anihawk said, at E3 there wasnt a problem since the drums were in a good position, but I noticed it when playing a friends and have been frustrated by it since getting it the other day -- it's just so damn hard to hit the blue notes because you never know if it's gonna be the "right" spot.

 

[DarkScorpion]

That doesn't look so hot compared to Donkey Konga 2. :\

I only see 2 songs I really like and some that are midly interesting like the Rocky Theme song

6. Yeah! Mecha Ho Ridei

That should be holiday.

GO!! and Reraito are prob my top picks in there.

 

[DarkScorpion]

Make that 3 songs.

I had to check which song GO!!! was actually.

So that would be Locolotion, Ne~ and GO!!! with Rocky Theme making me wondering how it will play out.

But with vol. 2 I went apeshit when I saw the playlist. 6 Jpop songs I loved.

Too bad the vocals are mangled to hell, specially the H!P songs.

 

[CrisKre]

As far as my gaming sessions go with both, gamers and non gamers, donkey konga has taken Super Smash Bros melee place as the most played game. That and Wario Ware are great specially with the non gaming crowd.
