Just looks a tad lame.

I take this is the same game as King of Swing?


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

If the banana doesn't do the Peanut butter jelly time song then it shouldn't be in the game!

King of Swing was seriously one of the worst GBA games I've ever played... And I downloaded some seriously shit games...

hmm looks alright!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Uh, don't the devs know that there is a freakin' half of inch DIVIDE between the two screens!?!

I dunno, but that seems like a design disaster to me. Smilie

I really enjoyed the original King of Swing - it was fun and quirky. One of the best Gameboy Advance games, in my opinion.Smilie

I'm loving the DKC styled backdrops and sprites - very colourful and pleasing to the eye. I hope they include some Animal Friends in this time, too. Squitter was always my favourite.Smilie

Nintendo are going in a different direction with Kong these days, aren't they?

Yeah, they are. They're using him in too many gimmick games - Donkey Konga and Jungle Beat spring to mind.

King of Swing is a bit gimmicky too, but it's the closest thing to Donkey Kong Country we're going to get for a little while, I'd imagine.

It'd be an entirely different story if Rare were still on board, though.

All we want is a new Donkey Kong Country like they did with NSMB just better and more challenging. Pwease Nintendo?

Wait...so he's playing a DS on one of the screens of the DS? Hmm, just seems like a way to make the top screen smaller if you ask me.

Im kind of sick of these subaverage games. Why can't DK do some platforming, King of swing was dull appart from its multiplayer.

He did some platforming not long ago in Jungle Beat. you should get it. It's awesome

You know what I think it is? Its that in the modern gaming world, plat formers are considered near dead.

Sad but true. All Hail the Space Opera FPS!!! Smilie

Or the generic, I'm a young boy with a funky haircut suffering from amnesia from a small town and I just happened to come across this weird artefact JRPG.

I don't get why people don't like Jungle Beat... It's exactly the same as Donkey Kong Country but with decent controls and it looks absolutely amazing. You can even play it with a controller if you can't be bothered with the bongos...

I liked bongo's; but u need to use the multiplayer if u want it to last a decent time.

Enoch Powell was right, and you know it.

The controls are aweful using the controller, anyway the bongos where two huge buttons so it would complicate it more if you used a controller.

Jungle beat was underrated, It showed potentialto the bongos. Then after that they only gave Konga 2 (Aweful) and the bongo racing game which was never released only to come out of hte wii.

Well there isn't any multiplayer in Jungle Beat so that'd be kinda difficult... I still love playing it to this day though, it never gets old

Donkey Konga was the multiplayer game, Jungle Beat was the single player game and was a bloody good game but only because of the bongos.
