Donkey Kong Jungle Beat – 2004 Developer Interview (Patreon)

https://shmuplations.com/dkjunglebeat/

This rollicking Donkey Kong Jungle Beat interview originally appeared in Nintendo Dream magazine, shortly after the 2004 E3 exhibition. The game was still in-development, so the discussion largely focuses on the response from players at E3, but the enthusiasm of legendary tag-team duo of Koizumi and Shimizu is hard to resist as they relate the origins of the project and other thoughts on controller design.
