Where do I start here? This game’s very complex storytelling and plot makes it difficult to pick a starting point…Īctually, I’m just joking. This game was also developed by the same team that eventually went on to make Mario Galaxy, which is already a good track record, right? Let’s find out, but first: we need to talk about the “story”, if you can call it that. I feel as if that helps this game in feeling distant from the DKC series, and it’s partially why I’m reviewing this game instead of, say, DK64 (which takes a lot of things from the DKC games, and it’s good to have some variance every once in awhile). This game uses none of the original DKC characters, story, set pieces, or content in general, and the only returning character is DK himself. Nowadays, four years after first beating it, I’m returning to Donkey Kong JungleBeat, but I’m not doing this review just for the Donkey Kong-a-thon I’m reviewing this game because it’s a fascinating game in general to me (and I honestly felt like playing this game, unlike DKC3). Back then, it took me ages to try to beat this game, and after checking my old save file, apparently I managed to beat this game (with barely unlocking anything optional) back in 2012. At this point in my life, I had never really gotten into the DKC series, aside from occasionally playing DKC2 or 3 on GBA, and this type of challenging platformer wasn’t really something I could quite appreciate yet, as I was quite horrible at video games (not saying I’ve gotten much better, however). This surprise, as you probably can guess, was this game: Donkey Kong JungleBeat (for the Wii). (Dangit, I’m terrible with coming up with stuff like this.)īack around Christmas-time in 2009, my nine year-old self was greeted with a pleasant surprise under his Christmas tree. Hmm… Maybe? It’s better than nothing, I guess, right? Uh… You know what? I’m gonna try to change it right now, yeah! It’ll be amazing! … Er. That’s really all I should need to say for this “pre-introduction”, to be honest, but I’ve been rethinking my whole “Let’s get started!” thing before I transition to the review’s intro just because it’s a bit lackluster I think. Donkey Kong JungleBeat was originally released on the GameCube back in 2004, but the version of the game that I’m reviewing here today is the updated Wii version of the game, released in 2008, to utilize the Wii’s motion controls. Today, I have a 2D platforming Donkey Kong game, which isn’t a Donkey Kong Country game, as the word “Country” is not found anywhere in the title, and as we’ll see, it has little in common with the original DKC games. As for those Banjo Kazooie reviews I talked about a long while ago… I’m not sure if I can still promise that I’ll do those reviews, as it’s just been too long since I’ve played either Banjo Kazooie or Tooie. It’s safe to say I won’t be creating another marathon after the Donkey Kong-a-thon, but maybe if I become more efficient in creating reviews, I might reconsider.

I’ll try to do a mini-review (most likely of a certain PC game) between this review and the review of Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Despite having had fun reviewing these DK games, I’m inclined to think that maybe I wasn’t ready to take on a marathon of reviews yet, and I apologize to those who aren’t interested in DK games.

Reviews from now on (or rather, after I re-review DKC Tropical Freeze) will focus on sometimes smaller games, rather than the deeper, lengthier titles that I’ve been reviewing in this marathon (I still will occasionally review larger games, however). However, I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon, but don’t expect reviews to come out on an even remotely timely schedule (though, that’s never been the case on this review blog). Due to school starting back up and due to other commitments, I haven’t had a whole lot of time that I have felt like dedicating to this review blog, and I’ve thought a few times about stopping doing these written reviews. Originally, I wanted this review to come out fairly soon after my review of Donkey Kong Country 3, but as you can see, that is not the case. Skip the first paragraph if you’re just coming here for the JungleBeat review.

This beginning paragraph is more of an update to future reviews rather than an addition to this review.
