The first game in the ''[[Donkey Konga (series)|Donkey Konga]]'' series was released for the GameCube in 2004. Developed by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Namco]] and based on the ''{{wp|Taiko no Tatsujin}}'' series of arcade rhythm games, this musical rhythm action game relies upon the use of the DK Bongos accessory (purchasable separately or included, depending on the package) to hit a beat in time with the tune. While the exact song selection varies depending on region, the tunes generally include pop songs and themes from some previous Nintendo games. Two sequels were later released, one of which was exclusive to Japan.
