For me, if I’m controlling a talking – well, okay, mumbling – ape, who has to battle all manner of strange beasties and collect floating bananas, then I really don’t need a long convoluted plot to explain why I’m doing it. And this is proven yet again with the latest Donkey Kong title, Jungle Climber.Īs is traditional with Nintendo games, it’s not sufficient that they just offer an incredibly addictive arcade title, but they have to give it a back-story.

The main reason that Nintendo’s handheld really rules, aside from the fact that the DS is a brilliantly designed machine, has to be that the company’s track record in first-party published games is second to none. When it comes to portable gaming, Nintendo – put simply – gets it right. Despite the fact that I own a PSP – and some fairly decent games for it – the handheld games machine that goes everywhere with me is my DS. Where Nintendo does still rule though, is in the handheld arena. Say what you like about it, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a novelty console, the one that you’ll spend an hour or so on with your mates when you come back from the pub, or something to entertain your younger sibling’s friends with.
