Anyone have the DK Bongos one for the Nintendo Gamecube that supports 3 games? I love mine so much that I had to get a second one in case the first one breaks. Of course, I'm the type of guy that likes weird accessories. I also have a uDraw GameTablet for the Wii.

Heck yes. I got like six or seven of 'em (went nuts when Gamestop marked em down to like two bux brand new). Pretty much the best way to play Jungle Beat.

Right there with you josh...have 5 sets...including all 3 game/bongo bundles (boxed)...and we just got two more in at my GameStop that I plan to buy up as well. They're becoming hard to find and they're 1.99....why would you not hoard them?
And yes...all 3 games that use these are fantastic!
Although these bongos are just another limited and failed (overall) accessory that Nintendo forced us all to buy for a select few games. Bogus at the time, but now the price is right!

It's really just two games: Jungle Beat and Donkey Konga. Donkey Konga 2 is pretty much the same game with a different track list. In Japan there were three Donkey Konga releases, which don't match up with the US versions for songs.
That said, I love the games, and I really think DK Bongo Blast would've been a better game on Gamecube.

I bought a set with DKJB new for $20 many years ago.
I've barely used them, but Jungle Beat seemed pretty good from what I played.

Real men play Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with the bongos...j/k. It's a hell of a workout though. And I got mine brand new from Gamestop for cheap...they look good in my collection too.

They're cool. I just wish that all bulky peripherals came with their own pocket dimensions to store them. Then, I could get the top shelf of my bedroom closet back!
