Late last week during Nintendo's press conference, it was revealed that Namco was working on a new game in the Donkey Kong franchise. Based on past efforts, we assumed that it'd probably be a new platformer.
We were wrong. In fact, the new Donkey Kong game is a music/rhythm game utilising a set of Congo Drums.
When the story was broken earlier today IGN mentioned that their sources told them that Donkey Konga would be a new title where DK and his friends join together to mess around with a set of Congo Drums.
The trademark for the game was registered on March 10th, which could mean that this game is a reality, and will be out for Christmas in Japan like Nintendo mentioned. Given the success of Namco's Tradition of a Drum (Engrish translation only, sorry) for the PS2 earlier this year, Donkey Konga could be exactly what the GameCube needs in Japan.
We'll have more news in the coming weeks.
