Considering how frequent Western developers jump from studio to studio, they are likely looking to move on relatively soonish, which means updating your public and private resume.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm all in on this idea. Combine this series and Wave Race. I love the Hydro Thunder games.
Kimishima did talk about the need for Nintendo to get more in touch with modern technology and development so Unity use wouldn't necessarily be out of question, especially considering Nintendo already fully licensed it.
The big one will be if Nintendo licenses Unreal engine. That would guarantee good unreal support for their platforms.

You think that sounds plausible for a green light? I mean it makes as much sense as a smash bros. clone with eshop and unknown characters lighting up the roster. From a niche fan point cool, from an executive Nintendo point of view hell no.
Or, say, a Spyro game in a completely different genre that's 99% original characters...

"Mario Kart Rejects Racing"
Well, the original DKR featured a lot of completely unknown characters, so I do wonder if a sequel would keep a similar idea.
Someone needs to add Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS

I'm hyped to play a racing game that isn't Mario Kart or a realism fetish simulator this gen.
Here's an idea
; what if instead of a "Diddy Kong Racing 2", Monster Games revived the Donkey Kong Racing concept that Rare was working on for the Gamecube? I think that one involved racing on animals, and I think you were able to hop between different ones during the race or something... it would be neat if something like that happened. At the same time, Monster probably wants to make their own thing, so I can't really see it.
that probably won't happen

That'd be so awesome. They should get Lee Musgrave from Crash Labs on the phone as he was the mastermind behind Donkey Kong Racing.
What's fucking crazy, is that if I read the info on it correctly, you actually race TOWARDS the screen?!
Like, the trailer implied more than we'd have thought, I saw a sentence that said just that. So it'd be something like those Crash Bandicoot sections where you run away from something towards the screen.THAT'S bonkers.

Hm. I don't know how much I would have enjoyed that. I was never a fan of those parts in Crash Bandicoot games. The idea of switching vehicles mid-race sounds fun though.
it sure as shit is. sketch in a party setting is amazing and always a favorite
on topic: excite truck2 with online and huge terraforming would be so great
Introducing, the next title from Monster Games:
EXCITE WAVE
A combination of Wave Race and Excite Truck, using officially licensed Innespace Seabreachers:
Remember driving around Dolphin Park in Wave Race 64 and seeing the dolphins follow you? Well now you're the goddamn dolphin.
Or more precisely, a turbo-charged dolphin-like submersible that can skim the surface, dive underwater, breach the surface and sail through the air.
In true EXCITE fashion, your Seabreacher moves at near-supersonic speed. Hit special icons on the course to transform the terrain in real time. Triggers can make a river split into tributaries, or drop into a waterfall, or whip up a tsunami, or swirl into a whirlpool.
Hit the right triggers at the right time to slow down your rivals, or to launch yourself high into the air!

Yeah, I had a blast when it was called Pictionary too
They sure are! And it's a new NASCAR Heat game: http://www.nascarheat.com/

Wow, that's surprising. First NASCAR Heat since 2001, don't remember if Monster Games made any more NASCAR-games after that.

Cool, I suppose.
Fanboy in me wanted it to be an NX launch title, but you can't fault Monster for going where there's guaranteed $$

Wow, the wind keeps coming out of Nintendo sails. Or at least that is the perception!

Yeah, that's definitely how it feels. I just keep imagining meetings where they're like "so, any ideas on what's next? I mean, we have Mario Tennis, what more can we possibly put out this year?"
That being said, Monster Games is really good, they'll make a great NASCAR game.
Over a decade!

Nintendo is being so mysterious that soon noone even remembers they exist.

That's the end of what? They never had an exclusive relationship with Nintendo. It seems Nintendo kept them busy with projects until recently. I'm sure they'll make another Nintendo game whenever they are approached about it.
That's the end of that being, "that's the end of all this speculation that Monster Games is working on Diddy Kong Racing/F-Zero/Wave Race etc for NX at the moment". We now know they're working on a different title.
