Donkey Kong Banana Kingdom looks like a spiritual sequel to Jungle Beat, a brilliant 2D-style platformer 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, whic saw player hit the button repeatedly to run left and right and is likely.

The three player functionality will presumably allow players to compete in what looks like a series of mini games. Unfortunately, the official Japanese website doesn't offer much firm info for us English-speakers due to a lack of plaintext for Babelfish translate to work its magic on.

Capcom was not available for comment at the time of writing, but we'll be chasing them for the likelihood of this making it to UK shores.
