That game looks cool, but I am going to wait till it comes out here in the U.S. Anybody heard of this happening?

Right now it isn't known if Donkey Konga will be releaesed in the US. But if it does look for a massive change in the songs because alot of them are japaneese either music or TV show themes.

Nintendo could broaden appeal for this product by getting alot of well known bands and singers to contribute songs even say their omage to classic Nintendo themese would be cool.

Great price but I heard it doesn't work with the Freeloader boot disc (saving problem) or else I would have ordered it :(

Screw the well known bands...give me the NESkimos and Game Over instead. :D

Saving problem is on ALL games not just Donkey Konga. Has to do with the card not beeing formated correctly. US games & Jap games cannot be saved from the same card. And new memory cards won't work with Jap games. Maybe a used Jap memory card could be bought? If you mod your Gamecube this isn't a problem. ;)

For PS2 you can save Japanese and US stuff on the same card, sadly it's not the same for GCN (dunno about Xbox).

And this game MAY come to America; Namco recently announced that they'll probably bring their Taiko no Tatsujin games to America- this game is based off of TnT, but like someone else said, the songs'll be changed for sure.

A review on the play asia site says that it doesnt matter too much that you cant save because songs don't need to be unlocked.

The shipping is very expensive, about $30.

You are correct. It ranges between $27.80 for 7-15 day airmail and $32.70 for 2-4 day airmail. :(

I'll hold off for this one.

For tha Japaneese games you just need another memory card dedicated for the Japaneese games.
