When is this out?
Donkey Konga doesn't appeal to me, but this looks great fun.
WHEN?

Hit both to jump and clap to punch.

Kapow.

There's no fun in Donkey Konga if you can't use the bongo's, it's like using a controller to play a game requiring a dance mat really (actaully taht is what it is).

And they're Casual Fanboys really, well, most of them, one isn't so casual, he's sort of, odd, he wanted a GC till he got a PS2, tehn he insisted the PS2 was better, but o[penly admits that he'd like teh GC more if he had one (:S).

The others don't know all that much about games - they know when major big games are coming out, but they wouldn't check the net to see when good, fun games are coming out.

By hitting the left bongo to run left... the right one to run right... clap to jump... or hit both to jump...

Things like that. Sounds clever.

How do you play a platform game with bongos?

I take it your friends are fanboys? My mates are casual gamers and play on whatever.

You can use the controller to bongo just as you can use a controller for dance games... not as fun though.

Oh, how does that work then? I'd have thought everyone would need bongos for it.

Well, one of my mates isn't so bad, he'll play games like Burnout, Timesplitters and Bomberman, but hates the Nintendo games like Smash Bros and Mario Kart (which I don't think is all that goodeither), but, on the other end of the scale I have a mate who is twisted (and he was originally going to get a GC, but his mum bougth him a PS2) and he won't play me at TS2 on it because it's not as good as the PS2 version.
Apparantly.

Otherwise most people just won't play it.
Moo.

Same here. The seem to not understand that there is more to life then Racing and Shoot 'em up games.

Nope you don't... just 3 further controllers.

And some of my friends thing the cube is crap, they still play on it with me.

Unfortunately for me, all of my mates are retarded, and think the GC is crap, and won't you need more than opne set of bongos for Konga multiplayer?

Comes out for Christmas in the states? Damn.

As a single player experience I'd imagine Jungle Beat weighs supreme over Konga.

But for a top quality multiplayer... can't go wrong with Konga.
