Donkey Kong Banana Kingdom looks like a spiritual sequel to Jungle Beat, a brilliant 2D-style platfoꦜrmer on GameCube made unique by its use of the Bongo controllers.

Donkey Kong will hit Japanese arcades housed in a huge three-player arcade cabinet. With nothing but two buttons on the control panel of the cabinet, a similar control style to Jungle Beat, which s✅aw players hit the button repeatedly to run left and right.

The thre🔥e player functionality will presu𓂃mably allow players to compete in what looks like a series of mini-games.

Above: There's been no word on whether Banana Kingdom will feature a "Eat DK's head" minigame amongst its collection, but we're crossing our fingers

doesn't🌼 offer much firm info for us English-speakers due to a lack of plaiꦆntext for Babelfish to work its magic on.

Capcom was 🐎not available for comment but we'll keep chasing.
