Talk:Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: Difference between revisions

''Jungle Beat'' and ''[[Donkey Konga]]'' were both created to make use of the DK Bongos. Due to its rather unique control scheme, ''Jungle Beat'' is considered to be a spin-off of the main series. ''DK64'' is considered to be a part of the main series, the decision of which I believe is Nintendo's to decide. ''DK64'' also seems to take place '''after ''DKC3'''''. The [[Kremlings]] appear in ''DK64'', which ties it into the main series, and the name and gameplay of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' ties it in as well. ''Jungle Beat'' has none of that. Yes, the Wii version does share some similarities with ''Returns'', which is totally possible as the devs of ''Returns'' could've looked back at ''Jungle Beat''. Both use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk (optionally in ''Returns'' case, just the Wii Remote is an option), so it's likely they looked back to review how the controls worked, and brought in a few other things along the way. It also isn't uncommon for development teams to reuse sounds and other assets, heck, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' was created by the same team who did ''Jungle Beat'' and some sound effects are reused there. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:58, 16 November 2017 (EST)

:Playing the game again for a few minutes, I'm noticing some similar, perhaps reused, clips from Donkey Kong, but does that matter? I'm also not finding any checkpoints, but perhaps I'm not playing the right levels (all are unlocked). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:58, 16 November 2017 (EST)
