I Bet I'd Be Good At ThisI'm not much of a game player, but I bet I'd be pretty good at a game that was controlled with a pair of bongos: For years, video games have been governed by simple rules of control: Press one button to do this, press another button to do that. Now, Nintendo shatters that model by introducing the most novel video game accessories ever: bongos. Yes, bongos! Donkey Konga(TM), now available exclusively for Nintendo GameCube(TM), combines the new DK Bongos controller with well- known musical selections to foster a wild, clapping, tapping and laughing party atmosphere. Players compete by thumping their bongos to the beat of songs like "What I Like About You," "Whip It" and "All the Small Things." The better your rhythm, the better your score."Link via PRBop.

When I was in Tokyo, Japan a month ago, I went into the Sony Showroom in Ginza (an area of Tokyo) and guess what 3 of the Playstations on the top floor had? Yep - bongo drums that you hit in time with the rhythm (there was a two player version as well). Jake said on 10/20/04 @ 02:05 PM: Man, I really need to get to Japan. They get all the cool toys! Jesse Thompson said on 10/22/04 @ 12:08 AM: Maybe if I get this game I can acquire some rhythmn of mine own, then I can be more like Strong Sad :) Randy Horsh said on 10/22/04 @ 12:12 AM: Richard Feynman would approve.
