So is Monster Games working on a new racing game?

"Build out the Career and Championship modes UI"

Coming from someone's Linkedin profile:

This was originally posted on Vandal.

Update

The line "Build out the Career and Championship modes UI" has now been deleted from the Linkedin profile.

Diddy Kong Racing NX hype starts now

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Even an HD four-player split-screen Excitebots port would be amazing.

That game was criminally underrated and only releasing at retail in NA is so sad.

You could play a tambourine, cards and bowling during the race!

 

[HUELEN10]

EXCITENEXT!

PLEASE BE NEW EXCITE!

 

[Neoxon]

I guess we can expect to hear something in the near future. Another Excite [Insert Vehicle Here] for the NX Platform? Or perhaps the rumors of Diddy Kong Racing 2 were indeed true.

 

[Kouriozan]

As long as this one actually release in Europe, great.

 

[Clov]

Diddy Kong Racing 2? Or maybe... a new F-Zero?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

So should we get Excite or feel the wrath of ModBot? Again?

Spoiler

Excitebots is one of those games that I always wanted to play but never got around to, so I would be down for a sequel.

 

[BY2K]

Career and Championship Modes don't sound very Diddy Kong Racing-esque.

More like Excite-something or F-Zero.

Assuming this is a game for Nintendo.

 

[Ridley327]

Good to see they're hiring. They've been a really tiny team for a while now, so something bigger than 3DS conversions and support for Retro seems to be in the works.

 

[evilromero]

EXCITE for the love of all that's good!

 

[Hero of Legend]

PLEASE be DKR2! :O

However, Liam/Tamaki said on twitter DKR2 never existed (and laughed about it even), so I dunno .

Edit: But the mention of Unity is worrying. As it seems unlikely they'd work on the Unity engine if they're working with Nintendo. But they've not touched non-Nintendo hardware in over a decade, why would they now?

There's no reason to think it isn't. They haven't worked with any other company in 10 years.

 

[?oe?oe]

A new Excite would be intense... or an F-Zero... or Diddy Kong Racing... fuck.

 

[Tookay]

I don't know; Career and Championship sound more like modes in a sports game to me.

 

[nikatapi]

Excite NX, bring it on!

The Wii U is fully compatible with unity so it's very likely that the NX will be as well

Of course, but Nintendo wouldn't use it. At most this could be an indie game?

 

[KingBroly]

It'll be a Nintendo IP, like Excite, most likely.

They are an extremely small development team with a website from 1993.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Wave Race is back!

I hope.

 

[Oddduck]

If they make a new racing game then I hope it's another Excitetruck.

That was a great launch game.

Wave Race is back!

I hope.

Or this!

 

[watershed]

What was the last game they made?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

 

[Ridley327]

What was the last game they made?

The Xenoblade port for n3DS.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

I dont care what it is but if its Diddy or Excitebike then Ill buy an NX early.

 

[Camjo-Z]

I'm Diddy giddy with Excitement for an announcement.

 

[khaaan]

Well, at the very least someone worked on the UI for one.

Interesting that Unity is mentioned though.

 

[jdstorm]

Ok that makes sense.

Edit: I'd say at most it would be a 3rd party exclusive designed to showcase the NX as a platform for Unity games. But that seems unlikely

Unless she undid it, I don't see anything. Liam actually tweeted with a suspicious emote:

Looks to be the case, nothing there anymore. Suspicious.

 

[mikeyvids]

Is there any chance Nintendo would give them or have them collaborate on a Mario Kart NX or Mario Kart Smash title or is that too important an IP?

 

[digita1alchemy]

As a group that always seemed to do well at getting good performance out of Nintendo's hardware, I find it odd that they'd be using Unity for a project. They're a smaller team as well, I wonder if maybe they're working on a mobile game for Nintendo.

 

[Ridley327]

Probably could use them as a support studio, seeing as they helped Retro on DKC:TF.

 

[Gvitor]

Diddy Kong Racing rumour lives on!

Spoiler

please be it

The retro studios before retro studios

As long as it's not Excite...

I guess they know the same DKR stuff that Alberto used to talk about, if thats still a thing.

Can't imagine they would use Unity for MK.

 

[Meesh]

Please dear gaming gods for the love of the holy excite spirit be this!!

What did Alberto say?

 

[Father_Brain]

Of course, but Nintendo wouldn't use it. At most this could be an indie game?

I don't really see why it's so inconceivable that a first-party NX game would use a middleware engine. Times have changed.

 

[Kastrioti]

F-Zero

Believe.

 

[Ecliptor]

Mmm...

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Mmm...

Be still my heart.

 

[Graphics Horse]

What did Alberto say?

I would have to search, but it wasn't much. He heard they were working on it in the last few years.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Well Emily undid the retweet, Alberto is banned here (I think because of the NX controller shenanigans which he claimed he had a source vouching for), and Liam's rumours are banned so... Eh. I'll have a grain of salt.

Mmm...

"When I'm not making video games, I'm discovering the stomping grounds of my wife"

Uh.... That could be phrased better for an official profile...

Could be a new Punchout.
