Nintendo announces Donkey Konga Cube bundle News
GameCube News by Tom Bramwell
Nintendo may not have officially cut the price of the GameCube to compete with Sony and Microsoft's recent exertions, but during the EGN trade show thimgum this week the platform holder did announce a very reasonably priced bundle featuring forthcoming drum-banging Cube game Donkey Konga.
The "Donkey Konga Ultimate Bongo Bundle Pak" (pictured) will be released on the 15th October and priced at £89.99 - or whatever's the Euro-ish equivalent - and features a black Cube, controller, a copy of Donkey Konga and one of the bongo drum controllers that are so entertaining the kids (and, let's be honest, the grown-ups too) at Game Stars Live this week.
Additional bongo sets will be made available for £19.99 and the game itself will, naturally, retail at around the £30-40 mark when it too "hits retail" in mid-October. We'll be sure to let you know whether it tickles our bananas when we get a little closer to launch.

the Jap version is fun, although frustrating 'cos the bastard won't save on my PAL Cube... at £29.99, though, methinks a second copy/second set of Bongos will be winging it's way to my house, oh yes.
Nothing touches Samba for sheer class and embarrassment, though. |

So Nintendo want to compete with the various bundles going on at the moment with PS2 and Xbox price drops. With Donkey Konga. Oh dear...

Presumably you missed the effect Eyetoy had - particularly amongst those not noted for their gaming ways. We all know that it doesn't matter how good many of the big releases due for the Cube are because they'll have little effect on console sales. A Donkey Konga bundle, on the other hand, might well shift some serious numbers...
