But is the content 100% identical? I don't think we know yet.Going by GameXplain's fantastic 3DS vs Wii head-to-head, both of those appear to be 100% true

Unless they just did stuff for other companies like Next Level Games in the meantime.
All of their games since Excite Truck have been Nintendo-published titles. Their size doesn't afford them to be prolific like a Next Level Games.Unless they just did stuff for other companies like Next Level Games in the meantime.
I don't think they'd hire people from Bioware, Vigil, Naughty Dog, Junction Point and the like just to work on a Mario Kart game.

Retro hired several character designers, as well as a level designer who worked on Modern Warfare, Enemy Territory and many other high profile first person shooters. I don't think they're working on a kart racer. My guess would be Metroid Prime 4 or a new first/ third person shooter IP.This would make sense, given that Mario Kart Wii U presumably didn't begin development until the beginning of 2012. They probably need help at EAD making some of the 32 courses if Iwata wants the game done by November/December this year.

Well no, of course not. But it wasn't the entirety of Retro working on the classic courses for Mario Kart 7. They merely had a small team assisting EAD for under a year. Outside of that, they've been working on a project since finishing DKCR since the beginning of 2011.
Have they said anything about the stupid game breaking shake and blow mechanics in this game?
The trailer in the eShop clearly shows the X button being used for the boss beatdown at the end; in the Wii version, there'd be a "waggle" icon and you'd shake the remote to hit the boss. So, it would appear that all motion-based functions have been reassigned to the X button.Have they said anything about the stupid game breaking shake and blow mechanics in this game?
You are doing it wrong
Huh, they're two teams now? Wonder how they split those people up? Anyways, I think Retro's next project will be Nintendo's Halo competitor.
This post... I don't like it one bit. Combined with your avatar, it's interfering with my recurring fantasy where Barack Obama flies through my bedroom windows at night, hovers over my head, and lovingly whispers to me that he agrees with all my tastes in gaming.I'm doing it oh so right. Those games were always terrible.
I really, really think that Retro is working on Star Fox. But not just a simple shooter.
I think they are Metroid-Priming it.

Hmmm, not a great piece of news simply because that all but confirms 30 fps. I don't have faith that they'll be able to convert the game to 3DS while maintaining the full 60 fps framerate.
Diddy Kong Racing next Monster
That would actually make a whole lot of sense.
I forget, does Nintendo own the rights to all the DKR characters? Besides Banjo and Conker, of course, and Diddy Kong who they obviously own.
I'm not sure it's that simple. For example, Tiptup was in Banjo-Kazooie.They do; since Rare had already announced and trademarked both Banjo-Kazooie and Twelve Tails of Conker before DKR came out, those got to stay with them.
Not that it matters all that much since the rest of the DKR cast is some truly forgettable stuff.
Please god don't make it like the Wii version and actually put some original effort in not a retread of dkc ... I want k rool back too
They don't. Only the Kongs and Krunch. Rare confirmed it in one of their blog posts IIRC.I forget, does Nintendo own the rights to all the DKR characters? Besides Banjo and Conker, of course, and Diddy Kong who they obviously own.

Do we know if they are going to include extra stages or something?
They don't. Only the Kongs and Krunch. Rare confirmed it in one of their blog posts IIRC.
However, they do own the music according to DKRDS credits.
I thought everything that appeared in DKRDS was owned by Nintendo. Banjo and Conker were removed as they are now owned by Microsoft.
At start up (as well as the credits) it says certain characters licensed by Rare. I'm no legal expert but I think the characters were able to appear because they're technically Rare characters as opposed to Banjo/Conker which were in games published by Microsoft (giving them the official ownership)
C'mon, man, Tiptup is awesome.All the non-Diddy/Banjo/Conkey DKR characters can burn in a fire. A fire where the odor of their wretchedness will will be seeped into the world for generations to come.

I would have preferred a HD version in the Wii U eSop tbh...

Oh right, T.T.
T.T. can stay, everybody else can fall of a cliff. ESPECIALLY stereotypical Indian Elephant man
