Retro_Link Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 New pictures; More pictures http://www.jeux-france.com/news20021_dk-bongo-blast-plus-d-images.html Looks much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 BTW, these pictures were sent to various websites by Nintendo of Europe. It probably means we are going to see this title sooner than excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Looking good. Just hope we will see it using the bongo's I've got two sets of them gathering dust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I name thee DK Blur. they lost the fur effects of jungle beat but bongo all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 they lost the fur effects of jungle beat Well, this is from Paon instead of Nintendo Tokyo so drop in the graphics was excepted. Furthermore, if game is fast, you don't even have time to take notice of small details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoochem Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 If this game supports the bongo's, I'll buy it, I got 2 sets of those things. But if it doesn't, it wouldn't be that interesting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucky.Fingers Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Looking much better than when we 1st saw it. Hopefully the controls will be good, I'm not fussed if it has bongo control or not (Its unlikely to be honest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I was just on the Official Nintendo Magazine website and they referd to this game as Donkey kong Jet. Maybe we are losing the bongo controls? Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we are losing the bongo controls?Yeah maybe! The release list in this thread http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14057 has the game down as being; Donkey Kong Taru Jet Race in Japan!

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Well, I think calling it Bongo Blast would be a bit weird. It's essentially saying that this game will be for everyone who has the Bongos set, which ain't true. I think give it a different name, but allow it to be played with either the Bongos or with the Wiimote and 'chuck. Makes sense, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 well thats crap.... I'd rather they'd have either abandoned this title or at least bring this out with bongo controls and then if they wanna make a Wii Donkey Kong racer revive Donkey Kong Racing that Rare unveiled when the Gamecube was first announced, that looked better with all the different animals to ride etc...

I wouldn't get too worried about it. It's just a possible name change, that's all. Could be for the reasons I stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of Wii owners (new to Nintendo or not) don't even have the Bongo controllers, so they wouldn't make them a key part of the game, just an optional extra for those who do have them, which might still be the case! And yeah I hope we do see Donkey Kong Racing at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Looks great fun! I wouldn't call it bongo blast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 ..this looks like it could be shaping up pretty well.. but then I do like my Donkey Kong Gonna have to get my bongo's out for a wee game of Jungle Beat soon.. but yeh, I hope this is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcj metroid Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 yeah true, I guess, just give us Bongo owners the chance to use them... man the wii is all about new ways to play. Very few people bought the bongos. It would make more sense to leave them out and concentrate on a better control scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 man the wii is all about new ways to play. Very few people bought the bongos. It would make more sense to leave them out and concentrate on a better control scheme but then that just makes this another port...that has been altered for the Wii. You have to wonder how much money has been lost kind of, last month in america some 30,000 gamecubes were sold according to NPD, proves that people are still buying them and that the likes of Super Paper Mario and this could have been released on the cube as well and they would be still sell.

mcj metroid Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 another port would be if they used the bongo controls. i think it's for the best that they don't use them. it would go nowhere and they know it. the bongos weren't a massive success. ps2 got eyetoy singstar and buzz we got bongos.....wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoochem Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 IGN talks about "the title formerly known as DK Bongo Blast" and refers to it now as DK Jet. Guess that confirms the name change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Shame the bongos seem to be ignored now, the bongos were awesome. The title looks decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title looks decent though. its a catelismic humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. we should have a rock concert to draw global attention to this ignorance of bongos. do they know its christmasssssssss?

canocha Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 No Bongos.. if its not Online.. DO NOT WANT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 New Screenshots: Does that mean you can ride animals? It looks in game....but doesn't look like it's in a race. Interesting (This may be looking into it too much...but could those be DKR-style exploration sections?) edit: How about a thread title change to "DK Jet" or "Donkey Kong Jet"?
