You know what other Western Nintendo company made several great DK games? Rare.
Making a follow-up to one of the best platforming experiences of the past decade?
All I was thinking of during the Nintendo Direct was 'don't be Retro, don't be Retro, don't be Retro'.
I don't mind another Donkey Kong game. I liked the Returns. But couldn't someone else do it?
DKCR was only one of the best games of the last generation...
DKCR rated around a 9 average. It sold more than all 3 Metroid games, combined. That's around 6 million copies. They made 3 Metroid games in a row, and somehow this surprises you? It had the sales, it had the reviews. Why wouldn't they make another one.
You guys... you guys.
We'll see how much it sells on Wii U
Michael Kelbaugh from Retro Studios says that it was hard to decide between making a new Metroid or Donkey Kong game.
Revealed in a tweet by a ONM writer, Donkey Kong was chosen because Retro felt they had unfinished business with the franchise. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is one of this year's Wii U tent-pole games and a follow up to Retro's Donkey Kong Country Returns.
What are the odds of there being two titles developed simultaneously at Retro?
God this is like the worst "surprise" ever.
I was livid when I heard this.
fucking nintendo screwing shit up left and right. Can't believe they put Retro on DK. I hate DK.
This is my only hope.
