Very dissapointing... ugh. Kinda ruined the direct for me.

 

[illmatic22]

Such a letdown. They're a talented studio, let them work on something else...

Not saying that the game will be bad. It'll be good.

 

[KAP151]

If that is what they are doing with Retro, pack it up now.

FFS.

 

[Beth Cyra]

So Retro are making a follow up to what is easily their most succesful title they've ever created, and one that will actually have a chance at selling Wii U's? Such a shame.

 

[Himself]

God that fucking blows.

 

[Ebris]

 

[dacuk]

Expect Retro talent to.leave in droves this year

 

[Battle Born]

Noooo!!!! DKCR is a fun game and I love that they included Dixie but Retro are too talented to keep doing these games.

 

[daxy]

Wholly understand now why part of their talent left for greener pastures.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Awesome, a followup to one of the best platformers of all time!

 

[Pociask]

What a waste. Sorry Retro. One day maybe you can be free to make the games you and everybody wants. Not until you port this next DK to the 3DS, though, at least.

 

[Lunar15]

I'm totally down for this. DKCR was fantastic.

 

[Coolwhip]

...

 

[Starsunder]

Would've loved to have seen a new Metroid, but DKCR was sublime and this one looks to top it, so I'm good.

Bring it to me, Retro!

 

[Tuck]

What a waste. The Wii u does not need another 2D platformer. It needs a killer 3D action adventure. Monster Games could have developed this.

What a god damn waste.

 

[jrDev]

Pretty disappointing. i love DK but I was like...that's it?

 

[Rezbit]

That was very disappointing. Was really hoping for an exciting new IP.

 

[zoukka]

Called it ages ago.

Also bring it.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lol told you guys. Nintendo has no clue when it comes to western developers.

 

[Various Artists]

If they worked less on trying t have sex with Dnkey Kong they could be working on Metroid

 

[Plinko]

Too bad for you.

I loved DKCR--the best platformer to hit in AGES. I'm excited for this.

 

[Brinbe]

Ninty is fucking up

 

[Stumpokapow]

I thought it looked great. New mechanics and level types, graphics looked excellent, and the dynamic camera was wonderful and fresh.

 

[CrisKre]

Best news of E3 as far as im concerned. YESSSSS!!!!!

 

[Aeana]

Such a talented team, and they put them to work on a sequel ANYONE at EAD could have made.

I'm done. I'm just done.

Such a colossal disappointment.

I doubt that anybody at EAD could have made it. NSMB2, for example, is not even remotely as good as DKCR.

 

[GRW810]

I wanted Metroid but DKCR2 looks sublime.

 

[duxstar]

Here are my opinions

If that retro game that everyone's been talking about is Donkey Kong, I have literally lost all faith in Nintendo, and will have to refrain from punching a whole in the wall.

One of the most competent studios on the planet, an incredibly talented group that could do any project in the world and they're stuck doing DONKEY KONG?? The people that gave us Metroid Prime, doing a 2d side scroller??? Who would be so incompetent to allow that to happen, the Wii U needs a killer game that drives systems, and their best studio gives us Donkey Kong.... I don't believe it, I can't.

I know I can't be alone in hoping that they were doing something else, maybe some science fiction or epic fantasy type game, or even a new Metroid, to get a 2d sidescroller which every Indie developer and their mother are doing now a days is just....... its just

frustrating

 

[friskykillface]

Metroid doesn't/didn't sell that good but donkey kong did, that's why it's getting made by Retro

It'll be a good game but I feel bad for retro :'(

 

[KillerTravis]

What's wrong with DK?

 

[daakusedo]

That's not keikaku at all.
I accept the consequences and quit the prediction life.

[GitarooMan]

They really have no idea what they are doing. They don't need another 2D platformer, they need someone to fucking make a 3D action/adventure. Ridiculous strategy.

 

[jph139]

Seriously, people are complaining about this?

DKCR was one of the best Wii games by far and probably their second best game behind Prime - better than both sequels. It's the only good Donkey Kong game since the SNES! Take it and enjoy it!

 

[Azure J]

I'm hype as fuck, DKCR was one of the best platformers ever.

Spoiler

Your day will come eventually StarTropics. ;_;

 

[Futureman]

My guess is they have two teams at Retro now. With the groundwork laid down with the first DKCR, this Wii U title was easier to push out and get done. 2014 will be Retro's premiere title.

 

[damaph]

Well this is disapointing

 

[toastyToast]

its got dixie kong tho

 

[Plinko]

I thought it looked great. New mechanics and level types, graphics looked excellent, and the dynamic camera was wonderful and fresh.

I doubt that anybody at EAD could have made it. NSMB2, for example, is not even remotely as good as DKCR.

Agree wholeheartedly. I can't believe the whining about this.

 

[Jawmuncher]

All that hype for another Donkey kong game. I expected more.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

It's going to be great.

Nintendo having Retro work on it when the WiiU has the market cornered on platformers and has little appeal to anyone else is near suicidal for the WiiU. This is a horrible, horrible decision for trying to get people to buy the WiiU.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

DKCR was incredible, so this is pretty awesome. The game looked great so far.

 

[Portugeezer]

When I saw DKCR, I was just shaking my head through the rest of the conference.

I knew it was Retro studios, fucking knew it in my heart...

 

[Seance]

Fucking Donkey Kong?

Shit dude that's messed up. Not down for that kinky shit.

 

[The Hermit]

Will buy






For 3DS

 

[jooso]

Liked DKCR but... Yawn.

 

[Effect]

I knew hoping for something not Donkey Kong was to much but damnit! I'm okay with the other stuff that was announced but this was the one announcement I was hoping would really deliver.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I loved DKCR, but Jesus Fucking Christ. Retro working on Wii fucking Fit would have been less deflating than this.

 

[Aristion]

Nintendo, FUCK YOU.

Agreed. Fucking Nintendo.

 

[fek]

Excellent. I loved DKCR!

 

[DaBoss]

DKCR was good, and this will likely be good too, but man, they are making so many platformers...
