Gamecube's cancelled Donkey Kong racing game DK Bongo Blast has finally resurfaced on Wii - and we've got the first shots to prove it. The game is a Mario Kart-style racer, only more like Sonic Riders, thanks to Donkey Kong's jet-powered bongos and massive jumps.
The screens show some nice blurring effects on close-up objects and the usual locales are all present and correct. There's a jungle, a lava level, an ice stage, a tropical island... but it all looks nice and friendly and we'd bet our last banana on the wii-mote fitting the gliding action perfectly. Probably better than the Gamecube bongo controllers ever would, if we're honest.
There's also a glimpse of the four-player split screen mode, which looks great and should prove to be a multiplayer favourite once your mates are all knackered from Wii Sports and want to sit down.
