This is a huge surprise. This game came out of NO WHERE and looks extremely fun. It has quickly jumped up my list of wanted games. IGN calls it the sleeper hit of the show. Check it out! DK Jungle Beat! I just hope you don't have to buy Donkey Konga to get the drums to play it.

Are they releasing it now? If so, by Christmas it will come down somewhat. But for all us cheapskates, we'll have to wait until next year to even consider buying it.

PSP? Fall 2K4 in Japan, Spring 2K5 in NA.

The article seemed to imply you had to have the drums.

Peanut · 05-12-2004, 07:27 PM

No, I meant if you had to buy Donkey Konga to get the drums or if they'd be packed in with this game as well. Obviously you'd need the drums.

Oh. Misread. My bad.

DK Jungle Beat looks pretty sweet. I could never bring myself to play games like DDR because of fear of looking like a retard (and I loathe the game), but this seems a nice bridge between the standard controller and the get-up-and-dance-like-a-moron controllers.

I could see this game kicking massive amounts of ass at a drunken party.

Peanut · 05-12-2004, 07:41 PM

I'm all about the drunken parties over here!

I just watched some footage of Conker...god...DAMN. Most visually impressive game I have EVER seen. Conker looks BEAUTIFUL! This game makes me wish my Xbox wasn't broken.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-12-2004, 07:41 PM

I'd buy Konga to get the drums for Jungle Beat, easily.

The PSP looks ugly to me Because it is a rip off of the original GBA in design. Plus I really don't give a F*** about Sony. Anyway, has anyone heard about Sega's "big earth shattering" announcement yet? Was it important or just the typical green Sega smoke to drum up press?

And yes, Toad is up on the facts. Thanks man.

I haven't heard anything yet. I don't think they've said anything. Although they might have.

*Taloniss* · 05-12-2004, 07:43 PM

Little off-topic, but I think it fits into the overall theme of this thread (video games) and this thread gets alot of traffic, so, what the hell.

X-box just made an appearence on Angel. They were playing Crash Bandicoot, trying to figure out the point of collecting crystals and fruit. They decided it was a 'test.' One character then went on a rant how the game was annoying and frustrating, yet she was compelled to play. I dunno, I thought it was funny. Especially since one character is a god like creature.

This mark this the second game console to appear on Angel. Spike has been playing a GBA before, although the game was never mentioned. Spike's been seen playing X-box before as well.

Lol, gotta love it when demons get philisophical about Video Games.

Ha. Sorry dude. Here' you go. http://xbox.ign.com/articles/514/514188p1.html
While the first video is extremely short...you can get the point.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-12-2004, 10:26 PM

Did anyone else see the G4 coverage of E3 on Tech TV tonight? They showed the DS unveiling, the Zelda trailer (Godly), Miyamoto's arrival, and Mario 64x4 in Motion. THey had the PSP crap too. Anyone see it?

*Eye of Sarnath* · 05-12-2004, 10:28 PM

At least we know ThirdMarioBro isn't biased.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah seriously!

Hyper Metal Sonic · 05-12-2004, 10:40 PM

I pulled one of the old Conker images out of the archive for comparison...

Wow, it's amazing how far we've come in 5 years.

So far this is the 2nd reason for me to get an XBox...

Who knows, once it gets to $100, I may pick one up.

Peanut · 05-12-2004, 11:02 PM

Well this has kinda convinced me. I need to get a new Xbox. DAMN IT!

Not biased, just highly opinioniated

I'll just stay quiet about that stuff so as to not insult anyone who like it.

I need a whole bunch of gaming systems...
