Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
Known prior to E3 as Donkey Jet, is an upcoming racing game for Nintendo's Wii video game console, announced on May 9, 2006, at that year's E3 convention for the Nintendo GameCube under the title of DK: Bongo Blast. This version has since been canceled in favor of a Wii release, and the game was released, for the Wii, in Japan on June 28, 2007. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast will be released on October 8, 2007, in North America.
Originally Donkey Kong Bongo Blast was to be controlled using the the DK Bongos; the left and right drums would steer in their respective directions, and rolling both drums accelerated. When the game was moved to the Wii, the DK Bongos were replaced with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, having player shake the controller in place of hitting the drums. The player can also raise the remote and Nunchuk to jump, and use the motion sensing to punch opponents and obstacles, and to use items.
In result of the gameplay, most players in Japan have noticed the intense amount of muscle power needed to play. Some say this is an attribute to health.
