Today on Never Was A Gamer, we're talking about the last full game in our arc on unusual, focused mechanics: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat! It's the closest you can come to owning a full bongo drum peripheral without having to clear a space in your tiny apartment closet.
We're talking about video game peripherals, immersion, the limits of the gamer body, and how the hell Nintendo came to make a mainline Donkey Kong game that you play with a set of damn bongos. Join us!
