I have spent about 5 hours playing the kiosk demo alone over 2 days at my local TRU. I couldn't get enough of it at E3. I've seen lots of comments from people online that they are not interested in Konga just because its a music game, or they think its stupid you have to play with the bongos. But then after they try it, they love it. The only problem I have with it is that the bongos are set too low. They have warnings on there about wrist and arms soreness, and they aren't lying.
I went and reserved my copy last night, can't wait to be able to play this more comfortably.

The only reason why I'm not too interested in Konga is that everyone says the game is easy. I like music games but not when they're easy...I think all my music/rhythm games that I own have some insane difficulty in them at least. Gitaroo Man master play... :wariocry

Try All The Small Things on the 2nd difficulty (ape i think) in the store. I think its one of the hardest ones avilaable in the demo.

it's unfortunate that donkey konga is, for the most part, a complete cakewalk. i've yet to encounter a song on donkey konga 1 or 2 that has given me trouble for more than a few run throughts. i don't expect to have any problems on the US version, either. however, the advantage to this aspect is that ANYONE can play the game and have fun - even a 4 year old. i've seen it happen. i've seen a 4 year old pass songs on donkey konga.
hopefully taiko is a bit more challenging. even if the US version isn't, there are all sorts of import releases just waiting to be conquered.

You can try Nintendo's Donkey Konga demo kiosk locator to see if there's one near you.

I totally loved Donkey Konga at Game Stars Live, I was totally thinking of putting this game at my bottom of to buy list. But this game rocked hard, never thought hitting dots, stars and lines in Rhythm could be so fun........ 4-player too.
P.S Metroid Prime 2: Echoes multiplayer was interesting could be hot if the rest of maps are good, never saw TimeSplitters: FP
P.SS is there going to be Game Stars Live Babes Thread.

i was thinking the same thing lol. I bet you could get AniHawks location down to a block. :lol Pretty funny.
Yes the game is easy though. There is a pretty big margin of error if you arnt dead on with your beats and claps I think, plus its there are only like 4 different choices. Bongo 1,2 , both, and clap...so its not totally varied. Its alot easier too becasue the bongos in general are just really easy to use as compared to like a dance pad for like DDR. The demo kiosk was pretty cool though, I originally thought it was dumb idea but I actually had a bit of fun with it to my surprise. I wouldnt buy it though, not something I could see my myself playing alot.

No.
I wouldnt say its the most unqie game ever, not by a long shot. It pretty basic, nothing amazing about it. Its just another music game. Whats the flavor of the month?
Nintendo Exec1: Hmm, lets make a music game!
Exec 2: Great idea. But how can we tie it in with a popular Nintendo franchise to increase sales?
Exec 1: Donkey Kong BONGO GAME!
Exec 2's eyes turn into dollar signs

Yo Wario, if you're looking to play the demo, the one at Oakridge had it working last night when I passed by
i can't decide whether to buy konga or taiko. taiko's visuals and presentation are much more appealing. and it's got katamari on the rock and ridge racer. but the bongos just seem like more fun than the taiko drums, and i might want to play jungle beat at some point. i suppose i could buy both, but i really don't need the clutter.

drohne: I'm facing the same conundrum. I've decided on this: buy both, but Taiko first. And order it as soon as the US version becomes available. Namco needs positive reinforcement for their surprising run of taste of late.
(Katamari, Taiko AND Nightmare of Druaga? They must be high.)

Do you mean the second Klonoa GBA game? If so, that's because according to Namco, that "carts are too risky" to release...
Maybe they'll relent... We can only hope.

When I went in to reserve my game at Gamestop (listed as Funco in there) the store employees said that they were shipped the kiosk displays, but were missing the disc. So they have the kongas all setup, with the previous demo disc in it. I know TRU has it, thats where I've spent about 5 hours in 2 days last week. I'll prob stop by the stores in Oakridge later this week when I go in there.

The EB def has it, and it's tucked away in the corner so you don't get looked at as easily by other people!
P.S. Software Etc at Oakridge is full of tools, at least EB usually has at least 1 chick workin the register, which rawks
