Done - Donkey Konga 1 and Donkey Konga 2 - GCN - NA - Retail

[benpcahill]

I cannot find a cover for the US versions of both Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2. Does anyone have either of these or is willing to make them?

Thanks!

[benpcahill]

Awesome, thank you!

They're great quality by me. The only gripe is that I think Donkey Konga is the Canadian version. I normally don't care on other cases, I just think the 'Only for Seulement Pour' triangle in the corner might stand out. I could always edit the normal US 'Only for' on top.

I'll leave the request open for a bit longer if anyone has the US version.

holy crap, I've had this game for years and had no clue it was the Canadian version (IDK why it is as I live in Kentucky), sorry about that 

[benpcahill]

Haha no worries.

I was going to say that I could always be wrong, but the cover is completely in English on wikipedia anyway. Makes me think this is the true US version.

yeah, checked through all my GC games and for some reason this is the only one that is the Canadian version even though it, DK2, & DKJB were all bought from the same person

Mine appears to be multi-language too...

Oh man, I'm going crazy. I went through eBay listings and *every* single one with the actual game had what you guys had but any stock photos had the promo cover that I had seen on Wikipedia.

That has to be it then. Interesting piece of history then. That's the only GameCube game that I know that's done that way? I've seen English/French but there's always been an English only copy..

Thanks a lot guys.

So yeah I'm not sure on part 2 as I never picked it up, but Donkey Konga 1 is bilingual in all of North America. I actually complained about it back in 2004 (before this site existed, and boy was I a whiner back then, lol):

Then again here, in 2008:

I've been out of the loop for a while now, but back then Donkey Konga (or perhaps Ribbit King) started the trend of multi language covers in the US:

Donkey Konga GCN (PAL cover modified for the US release):
Ribbit King GCN
Super Mario Galaxy Wii
Mario Party 8 Wii

I'm sure there's a lot more now. I don't think my customs ever got uploaded and I'm not sure if I still have em anywhere, by the way.

Looks like Doom also scanned his back in 2010

Thanks all. Got a lot of options!

Haha Mario, that's hilarious. I was minorly irked, but you were a whole new level. I may still change the front to the promo images I found, but you held nothing back. The poor Nintendo rep that had to read that...

Yeah, I may have went a little overboard there. Haha.
