As well as new screens, a few snippets of information were revealed including that the game’s story will revolve around the big ape trying to obtain a crystal banana to appease strange Banana Alien creatures. Controls will also work similarly to DK: King of Swing in that pressing the L and R buttons will allow Donkey Kong to use his hands to climb while holding both simultaneously will allow Donkey Kong to perform a jump or attack. Donkey Kong will also be able to partner up with Diddy Kong occasionally to gain new abilities such as flying when the pair collect a set of wings.
Multiplayer support for up to four people has also been confirmed and will be incorporated into an arrangement of mini-games which will see players attempt to catch falling bananas, among other activities. For the meantime, the game has no official release date although we wouldn’t be too surprised if it were sometime in Q4 2007. Until then, screens can be found in the Media Panel below.
