Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat hits next month as well, the fourteenth I think, and my excitement for it hasn't abated detectably since I saw it at E3. Of course, it's true that I relish any opportunity to utilize those bongos - but there is something valid and pure about the game in its own right. Check out these videos if you aren't sure how it could be fun.
Also, Japan is up to Donkey Konga 3 now, and we've still only got the one. I think we're about due.
