KEY INFORMATION

Get back into the swing of things as Donkey Kong® goes vertical.
• King K. Rool™ is up to no good again, and it’s up to Donkey Kong to swing into action. Using the same simple control scheme that made the DK™: King of Swing Game Boy® Advance SP game so accessible and fun to play, players of all skill levels can swing and climb to new heights made possible by the dual screens of Nintendo DS. • Not only does Adventure mode feature Diddy Kong® as a sub-character, but players can look forward to new moves, new items and a bunch of mini-games sure to make them go bananas. Not only that, but fun tutorials that ease new players into the game also can be accessed as mini-game challenges.
• If players are more in the mood to rumble, they can take on up to three pals in fun multiplayer challenges using DS Download Play and the DS Local Area Network. They can pick from Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong™ or Funky Kong™, and let the monkey business begin.

This was actually the big shocker of the show for me. The original was an incredibly underrated title that sold jack squat on a dying handheld. Yet they're willing to give it another chance on a more popular handheld. A tag mode with Diddy looks to sweeten the deal.

I like how the graphics are like the Super Nintendo DK games which makes it look classic because the graphics on the GBA version was childish.

Another Donkey Kong platformer! Well this better be DKC worthy-or else [SPOIL]I will waste $35[/SPOIL]

Two things about that:
A) It's a completely different kind of game than DKC. Not a platformer. Play the first one? You should. Short but sweet.
B) NOTHING lives up to the DKC games

It looks like a platformer. Well it better be good. Maybe not DKC quality, but good.

It's kind of a platformer, but all you do is twirl on pegs and jump through courses.

BTW, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat > DKC.
