I personally would've preferred a new character-driven IP and I do agree Nintendo put themselves in a position where the Wii U is saturated in tons of platformers, but in the context of the game itself I think DKC:TF looks excellent. Really resent the idea that it and DKCR were somehow 'lesser' projects than Metroid Prime and better scheduling for a Returns followup probably would've avoided the fan fallout.

How much of that was actually intentional and from Retro? I feel that Paul Gale quote about them working on 'something everybody wants' was a big help in rumors getting way out of hand over what they were working on.
