Donkey Konga Survey @ Nintendo.com: Expansion Packs On The Way?

Nintendo.com has a brief survey up concerning Donkey Konga, with one of the questions possibly relating to expansions:

Thinking about the scenario where Nintendo introduces a different version of the Donkey Konga video game including new songs within the next three to six months, how likely are you to buy or receive this new version of this video game?

So, if you want to convince Nintendo to release more songs (I know I do), take the survey, damn it!

I personally emphasized the strength of the bongos in terms of future game titles, and said that the songlist was its biggest fault, as that may make it more likely they see the need for further song packs.

The expansions are already going to be released. This polls exists merely for PR reasons; when they're released, Nintendo can stick a nice "we listen to the fans" statement in the press release.

Here is what they need:

Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick
Led Zeppelin - Bron y'ur Stomp
RJD2 - Ghostwriter
DJ Shadow - Organ Donor
Classical - Carmina Burana
Pink Floyd - One of these Days
Beatles - Here Comes the Sun
CCR - Heard it through the Grapevine
Air - Talisman
Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive

I got the PAL version today and I'm really enjoying it much more than the American version. The songs just seem to fit better.

Genuinely licensed songs would be nice too. Some of the covers in Konga were just really...meh.

Good to hear it! I just read your PM. Nice transaction :D I've been playing the US one too, and while I still prefer the PAL one, its good to have both (not to mention 2 sets of bongos!)...

I'll be all over any expansion packs definately!

Is this just a gut feeling, or do you have some information that the rest of us don't?

Anyway, if it's true, consider me ecstatic. Although I wonder how much the expansions would cost...I'd say anything over $20 or $30 (depending on the songs) is too much.

I wouldn't be surprised by a million in sales lifetime...

Yup. And they did it all without any television ads or in-store kiosks to garner attention. Those sly bastards.

I said I liked the bongos and hated "other." Sadly it didn't ask and they pretend as if the lack of difficulty isn't an issue.

Whoa, I must've missed that when I was glancing through Taiko's song list... sweet! That bit of information makes my day.

Waiting for DK and Taiko to come out is worse for me than waiting for the 'big' games like Halo 2 and MP2. Maybe it's just a pent-up urge to hit stuff.

Common sense alone can deduce it. It's like that GBA Video survey from a few months ago. This was followed by official confirmation that 90-minute carts will be released next year.

i need to email them and tell them to get Sergio Mendes's "Mas Que Nada" on the expansion. It was on the Japanese version and not the US? Licensing? Focus groups? i want answers...

Done!

It's true that word of mouth is gonna carry this title. I had my roomate and his girlfriend try it and they loved it. She loved it so much she's considering buying a Cube and a copy of the game to play with her parents. Her dad is a big fan of latin music.

You are clearly a miserable, cynical person.

I don't know...I think those video carts were more of a sure thing than Donkey Konga expansions -- the kids love them some Spongebob, but Donkey Konga is more of a niche thing.

Still, I hope you're right.

Donkey Konga can seriously outsell the whole GBA-Video unit sales combined this Christmas IMO...

It's not as niche a title as you may think...

Definitely up for a Donkey Konga Vol 2. I'm hoping that we will see one. NOA must be taking into serious consideration, if they're making a survey about it.
