After a disturbingly quiet year, Nintendo look as though they'll be upping the ante this winter with a slew of quality releases. Jet Force Gemini will finally be released in September, followed in December by Perfect Dark. But what meat do we find in this delicious sandwich? Gorilla.

The great ape himself?
Oh yes. The one, the only, the bizarrely named Donkey Kong is back in full 3D platform action. Rare have certainly been keeping themselves busy, and all three games (Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64 and Perfect Dark) are sure to sell at a phenomenal rate. Those of you who sold your N64s after completing Zelda will just have to swallow some pride and go buy another one.

I'm glad I held onto mine. Hit me with some DK64 facts.
Everyone's favourite ape will now be monkeying around in a 3D world, similar to that inhabited by Mario and his friends. This new world is looking pretty damned impressive at the moment; so impressive, in fact, that you'll have to use an Expansion Pak in order to play it. Fortunately, the extra memory comes packaged with the game at no extra cost.

That's a bit daft - I've already got an Expansion Pak. Why would I want a second one?
Um... good point. You'll have to buy another N64 if you want to use it. But hey, it's for the benefit of those less wealthy than you who still want to play the game. Anyway, it won't cost you anything so you may as well throw it away.
