What a massive disappointment. Nintendo continues to ensure its own irrelevance in the Western console market.
I'm hype as fuck, DKCR was one of the best platformers ever.
Your day will come eventually StarTropics. ;_;
sadly I agree, should have seen it coming a mile away given R's strong sales.I thought it looked great. New mechanics and level types, graphics looked excellent, and the dynamic camera was wonderful and fresh.
.Donkey Kong Country is awesome though. DKCR is one of the best games of the last few years. Why are people upset with this?
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???
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.

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
Awesome, a followup to one of the best platformers of all time!
DKCR was good, but man, they are making so many platformers...
Ugh. Was really looking forward to more Retro Metroid.
This might be why I buy a Wii U.
Amazing, I've never seen a gif used so appropriate!

Keep believing; it reminds me of the early post-Microsoft Rare days. I don't think anyone thinks DK will be a bad game; it's just that strategically it's baffling. Given the extremely limited third party support, didn't someone at nintendo think, "Hey, you know we may need a 3D adventure game to broaden our library"? I seriously think they are floundering at this point and Wii U's limited library is bound to sink it completely. How are they going to sell systems this fall?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.
Not sure if serious...
People need to realize something:
Look at the sales numbers of the last DKCR game and then look at the sales of the last Metroid game.
THAT'S why Retro was working on DKC.
So have those that were posting rumors been taken care of by the mods yet?
