DK Jungle Climber

[Dylan Yoshi]

Being that the game came out today, I suppose we should have a thread about it. I don't have it yet, but will probably get it Wednesday or Thursday... Anyone here have it yet?

And I almost posted this in the Other Rare Games forum.

I have only seen a few screens of it, but I read somewhere that Donkey Kong will have to battle evil banana aliens called Xananab, is it true? If not, then I'm probably thinking of another game Paon (that's how you spell the name of that company, right?) is developing for the DS. I'm glad they're following the mold set forth by Rare, but they still need plenty of improvement.

[Dylan Yoshi]

I know there were banana aliens, but I'm pretty sure they were in peace with DK. K Rool's the main villain.

[Bottles98]

The story is, essentially, DK gets in a scuffle with a Xananab ship, it crashes, the Xananabs (race of banana people) come out of the ship and start yelling at him, K. Rool steals the Crystal Banana right out of their ship to try and use it to conquer the universe, the Xananabs are stranded and DK offers to get the Crystal Banana back.

I've heard people complain about the Xananabs being banana people, but...we already had Banana Birds and Banana Fairies, where was it SUPPOSED to go next?

Anyway, I'm gonna try to get the game very soon. I played the demo at GameStop and oh my god is it fun. It feels like DKC with a few twists to keep it interesting.

Xananab....Bananax backwards. BANANA!

I would love to get this, but just one question. Are there bongos involved?

It's a DS game dude so no.

It does use a similar-to-bongo L&R control style for movement (other buttons are used for DK/Diddy tag team attacks and stuff)

[Dylan Yoshi]

No. It uses King of Swing styled gameplay, but it has a small twist- DK and Diddy work together as a team, and it brings back the DK Barrel system used in the DKCs.

[repobanjo]

I know it's a DS game. But DK's Final Smash is undeniably stupid because he used the bongos in them.

I liked Jungle Beat. A lot. So I'll probably like this.

[Mr.Patch]

But DK used his Bongos in DK64 for his music attack so why not for a final smash? It is the best possible attack that he could have.

Now for Jungle Climber I haven't play it because I don't have DS but it looks really good so without a doubt I will play it.

[Monkey Boy 64]

I won't buy it. Unless Chunky and Lanky are in it.

Because the move is based on the actual failed peripheral, complete with DK logo and START button even .
The bongos in DK64 were regular bongos.

[Mr.Patch]

Well they had to bring something to it what would you have preferred giant banana like in Mario Kart: DD? also when he's done his arms are on fire! Extra strength? I think so.

Why not have him charge in on Rambi?
