I'll laugh if this really is Retro.

Nintendo files trademark for "Diddy Kong" in Europe. Can you dig it?

In all honesty, it's probably not another retro DKC :'(
DKR2 really just makes too much sense. If Retro is doing Metroid too though I doubt we'll see it this year.

I'll be honest, the big downside of Next Level getting higher-profile work is that they're too busy to make another Strikers.

I'm still thinking Next Level has got Punch-Out!! in store. And Retro... ? Despite how much I love TF (srsly, it's probably my favorite side-scrolling platformer of the past, I dunno, decade or so), I can't shake that itch for another new, proper Metroid adventure--2D, 3D, whatever... just give me soooomeethiiiiinggggg.........
EDIT: oh yeah, I completely forgot that Nintendo's Direct will be focusing purely on 2015/ early 2016 titles... I'd imagine a new Metroid title would be a bit further down the road. So if they *are* showing something, maybe it won't be Metroid *tear*cry*collapse*

Oh really? I don't doubt you, but what signs point to NLG working on a WiiU game?
Ehh, not sure. Maybe just being surrounded by Nintendo stuff made him want a WiiU, and he edited his post because it sounds like he's insinuating WiiU is not a desirable platform.
But yeah, I can also see how it looks like they might be making a WiiU game. In which case I have no idea. Punch-Out... Mario Strikers... A new Luigi's Mansion... Perhaps a Metroid title! Could be anything.
My guesses:
1. Monster Games are working on Diddy Kong Racing 2, Retro is helping. The game will be released this fall for Wii U;
2. Retro is working on a new Metroid game for NX. It will not be announced this E3;
3. NLG are working on Punch Out for Wii U, to be released in Q1 2016.

Would also make alot of sense considering the success of MK8. Retro probably fetched the Mario Kart 8 engine from Nintendo, turned it into Diddy Kong Racing Returns game for super cheap, added a David Wise soundtrack and walla: Instant profits!
At any rate, a Diddy Kong game is probably fairly close to a racing genre, since I guess Diddy Kong's omission in MK7 and MK8 probably has been done for a reason.

So Nintendo files a Diddy Kong trademark in Europe, and you're boycotting Retro Studios even though there is no actual game announced, no confirmation of Retro's involvement, and the only thing you have to go by is GAF's speculation. Alright then.

I would love for this to be Retro. One for the awesome game that's sure to result, and two for the childish meltdowns on GAF

If it makes you feel better, they generally show some stuff outside the release window they say they're going to show stuff from.

This seems like a possibility next week...
No chance both DKR (if it exists) and Star Fox would come out this year.
- Diddy Kong Racing Extreme - reveal/playable - Holiday 2015
- Star Fox - reveal/playable - Spring 2016
- Metroid 3DS - reveal/playable - Holiday 2015
- Metroid WiiU - Announcement Trailer

I agree that DK2 was the best in the series.
What art & music (most important part) can do.
Then again, i'll hope that retro is working on a metroid. It's time.
Zelda, mario, metroid = the triforce of nintendo.
if retro is making another donkey kong game my heart will break
anything but that
metroid, zelda, an f zero beat em up, star fox, an original game, give me an open world rpg maybe with some great towns and lush environments with that Retro Studios style of art direction god plEASE anything but donkey kong again im begging

Sometimes I feel like GAF exists in an alternate world where Returns and Tropical Freeze were something other than fantastic games.
For everyone complaining about the idea of this being Retro Studio's next game instead of something else, note that the blog post that started this rumor stated that Retro is also working on another main project of their own... They also stated that Monster Games was working on a small side project, too, which would be Xenoblade Chronicles 3D if this is to be believed.

Would love if the digital event starts off with Diddy Kong Racing by Retro, ends with Metroid WiiU... by Retro.
Subsequent inteviews reveal 2 teams at Retro now, Diddy Kong game out this Holiday and Metroid game in Spring 2016

Isn't David Wise busy on Yooka-Yaylee? I guess he could still work on both at the same time, but that would mean he probably started once Tropical Freeze came out.
Assuming Retro is even working on something like that, of course

All I see is "It's not what I want! Me me me me me!"
Personal preferences aside, I am confident that Retro will release a quality game, be it DKC or Metroid or whatever else they're working on.
Why wouldn't both come out? One is a racer, the other a rails shooter.
FTFY.
Lol to Nintendo, early 2016 titles are probably going to twinkle down to fall 2016
And please Nintendo Have retro work on something other than Adam. Even if it's not metroid

I hope to god it's Retro and Platinum collaborating on fucking Diddy Kong.
Are Gaf Metroid fans as bad as Gaf Naughty Dog and Gaf Zelda fans?
We'll find out next week.
So this is looking like a genuine possibility for this E3 for Nintendo:
-Star Fox game, possibly by Platinum or Retro
-Diddy Kong game, possibly by Monster Games or Retro
-Animal Crossing game
-Next Level Games game, possibly Metroid or Punch-Out
-Platinum game, if not Star Fox
-Retro game, if not Star Fox or Diddy Kong
Not bad at all. I'd be lying if I said I was optimistic about Nintendo's E3 before this week, but this + Retro news + Platinum news makes it seem like their lineup could be much better than expected.

Yooka-Laylee is not coming out until end of 2016 at the earliest. I'm sure he's got plenty of time!

I fully expect none of these outside of Star Fox.
Judd from Splatoon would totally fit in with this lineup.
Just to temper your expectations:
-Star Fox having anything to do with Plat. or Retro is pure conjecture at this point
-We'll see SF, Diddy, and almost certainly AC regardless
-We may or may not see NLG or Retro's main projects
Just sayin'. I'm sure we'll see tons of cool stuff, though!
I'm really excited if the Diddy Kong rumor from last year turns out to be true. I was so excited at one point, I was making fanart of the idea. I never got around to finishing it though.
That fanart is awesome. Who's the guy right middle?
AC is extraordinarily likely given the producer's comments last week.

There's no bigger Metroid fan than me but I can say yes, yes they are.

I fully expect to see NLG's project. It's been two years and three months since Luigi's Mansion. I don't think we will see Retro's "main" project but I think we'll hear about whatever they might be assisting another Nintendo developer with. I also think the Platinum title will be a Nintendo one. I do not think Monster is working on DKR though. They are 20-25 people and I really do think they are now a port machine/support studio, as evidenced by the last three games they are credited on. I'd love to be wrong about that though.
I think you're talking about Rusty from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. If not, That's Russ from Dillon's Rolling Western.

The outer right middle guy is from Dillon's Rolling Western. Google search says his name is Russ.
For my own unabashedly selfish purposes, I'm hoping for LM3.
Oh, I was unclear, sorry. I mean all the way on the right in the middle.
I know Rusty so well I made his OT!

Amazing artwork, seriously impressive!
Oh, neat. Thank you! I'd be very surprised to see two Dillon reps, though. oh man...what if Nabbit makes it in?! @_@
