Fresh off my mental high from playing too much Brain Age 2, I tested out DK Jungle Climber, which releases next week. Boy is it ever fun.
The game, which will be available for Nintendo DS, is the sequel to DK: King of Swing for the Game Boy Advance. To navigate the levels, you must hold down L and R to jump (alternating between L and R allows Donkey Kong to hold onto or let go of the pegs on the levels). Translation: This isn't necessarily a complicated gamer's game, but it is a fun pastime for those of us who have a certain fondness for Donkey Kong. And honestly, who doesn't?
Word in the geek world is simple games like DK Jungle Climber are becoming more common because they allow players to focus on fun instead of complicated tricks and controls. I have to admit I got sucked in and found myself "monkeying" around with the game for a good hour while waiting in the airport last week. My only issue was I started craving a banana and couldn't find one anywhere in the terminal. The game will be released Sept. 10.

1It sounds apeeling.
2I miss donkey kong on the super nintendo! That was a great game, thinking back on it now I can't remember a better looking game on that platform. I wish this was already out, I could really use it on the 8 hour road trip I'm taking next week!
3I love these games. I wonder how long of a game it is. I think they need to work on that. It took me less then a week to beat that mini mario one.
4When i was little I played DK allllll the time on my Gameboy! Oh my god, so many good times driving in the backseat of my parents truck!
5i want to play!
6might have to look for this one!
