Poor Samus, can't even get a game after 5 years. Isn't she a Nintendo mascot? Could have sworn she was part of the big 3.
oh god, are my biggest fears coming true? If Retros game is DKR I will be veeerryy dissapointed and WIiU will be completely dead.
Diddy Kong Racing DLC/standalone expansion for Mario Kart 8.
This seems quite reasonable, but then I assume if its done by Retro Studios that they have something more up their sleeves. An expansion cannot take too long to develop considering the framework is already there. New Super Luigi U took perhaps a year or less to develop?What if it's "Diddy Kong Country," as in an expansion for Tropical Freeze in the vein of New Super Luigi U where Diddy is the main character with a different moveset and controls and there's no DK.

Big three? If we separate out franchises:
Mario. Zelda. Smash. Kart. Kirby. Pokemon. All way above Metroid.
Oh yeah! How dare Diddy Kong Racing get a game for the first time in a decade. We need another Metroid to make up for Other M.
If GAF acts like children again over a new Diddy Kong Racing then I'm going to flip.

I meant mascots, not franchises.
If? It's already starting and the game might not exist.
I would still say that Samus wouldn't be in the top three there.I meant mascots, not franchises.
Pikachu is higher than Samus anyway, so she still wouldn't be in the big 3I meant mascots, not franchises.
But with Mario Kart 8's continuing popularity, and the likelihood of it receiving additional DLC, I really don't see Nintendo releasing another online racing game.

Dude...A Diddy Kong Racing game would be amazing. Damn. I can't even imagine how lush the hub world would look.
Man this E3 will rock
Ryu in Smash
Diddy Kong's Quest: Return to Crocodile Isle
Animal Crossing Wii U
Starfox
Wind Waker characters in Hyrule Warriors
And maybe some GameCube HD remakes???

Mario/Link/Pikachu/DK and probably even Kirby are more well known then Samus.

If we're playing that ballgame, then Donkey Kong is the most recognizable Nintendo character behind Mario himself. But that's okay, because he's just a stupid ape who runs through jungles all day. DOESN'T COUNT!
Fine then, she is part of my big three. Opinions, aren't they grand?She isn't.

Actually, I feel like there is a legit possibility of this happening, especially since Platinum retweeted the Nintendo event (yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but still).Can you imagine the E3 event announcing this by Retro and then, at the end, Metroid by Platinum? GAF would crumble.
Hahaha, Waluigi is a great choice!I could somewhat see a new Donkey Kong Country game starring Diddy, but we've heard echoes of a Diddy Kong Racing revival for, what, how long? I mean, on top of the rumors, he was missing from Mario Kart 8, for whatever reason; maybe it was to keep the racing brands separate (Which, unfortunately, would hammer another nail in F-Zero's long-since-buried coffin.
If the whole "Second Banana" aspect's real, where it's all obscure characters/sidekicks trying to get noticed, like Wonder Red, Mallo, and Dylan/Bandana Dee, Impa, and Waluigi, it's an easy way to sell Amiibo of these characters, too. I can totally see them gunning for the idea.
What the fuck?Hahahaha its like a fucking nightmare I cant wake from. I got Tropical Frezze for free and the game is still bad.
Calm down peeps:

The case for Retro doing Metroid is actually stronger now.

Maybe Retro will throw ya'll a bone and sneak a Samus cameo in the new Diddy Kong game
Why are people assuming it's retro? Is there something I missed?
There was a rumour of a diddy Kong racing from next level games?
