Nintendo promise that players, both new and old, will enjoy Donkey Konga 2: Hit Song Parade due to its wide range of music. The game is promised to have hip-hop and R&B hits like "Rock the Boat" and "No More Drama," dance and electronica tunes like "High Roller" and rock hits like "All Star" and "The Anthem.".
"We chose these new, popular songs to give consumers the chance to play along to their favourite songs, ones they hear on the radio every day," explains George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Donkey Konga 2 provides a video game experience that crosses age barriers to expand the playing experience to the widest possible audience."
