Yeah, but Retro aren't that big are they? They can only do one game at a time. Where is the diversity Nintendo needs...

Splatoon, Smash, Kart, 3DWorld, Pikmin, W101, Bayonetta, etc etc

Now we'll have a 3D platformer with Diddy Kong Returns!

 

[Neiteio]

whatever happened to this guy though? made this one post and completely vanished.

Perhaps the ninjas got him...

 

[Astral Dog]

Its going to be by Retro, its not fucking Donkey Kong its fucking Diddy Kong.

Spoiler

Diddy Kong Country has a nice ring to it.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Lol, as much as I'd rather have Retro work on something else, whatever they do will be great, and judging by this thread, an ACTUAL announcement of them working on something Donkey Kong related will result in beautiful GAF meltdown hilarity. This E3 is certainly shaping up to be interesting.

 

[crabhammer]

I'll throw my voice in as one of the few that would be super down for more DK from Retro. Honestly I'm fine with them working on just about anything.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Well Diddy Kong has plenty of free time now

Spoiler

Dixie for life

Ha ha so true, I basically combo Donkey Kong and Dixie Kong.

Barely used Cranky Kong though I plan to use him in hard mode, it's just Diddy Kong that got the shaft.

 

[Dinda]

This can't be Retros game, please Nintendo! Don't do this to me!

 

[stilgar]

I'm 1000% positive that's not what Retro is working on right now.

I was thinking that too! Diddy is so good on Smash, I felt bad for completely ignoring him in TF. Not bad enough to use him, but still.

It's better to accept it now.

team: i hate first person metroid and shitty other ones

 

[AlexMeloche]

Maybe we'll finally get Diddy Kong in Mario Kart 8!

 

[AGoodODST]

Feel bad for any Retro employees reading this thread and seeing loads of people shitting on their shiny new Donkey Kong game they are stoked to show off.

Wee shame so it is.

Nah.Diddy Kong? I'll be a racing game or some shit. Not the full fledge FPS they've been working on for more than 2 years now.

"We’re pretty much on one major project at a time. We do a game every two years or three years," Kelbaugh said. "In the first year of that, we have some extra bandwidth, so sometimes… We helped out with Mario Kart 7. We helped Monster Games do the 3DS version. Sometimes we’ll have a little bit of extra bandwidth to help out other entities at Nintendo. We really feel strongly about helping out Nintendo as a whole, so if we have time, we’ll do that. Do we have the bandwidth to do two major projects at once? I don’t think so. A big project and a little project at the same time, we can do that."

You mean the full fledged 3D Diddy Kong Platformed they've been working on for more than two years now! They already have a dK model!

I said no.



NO

 

[Hero of Legend]

We can't stay here! This is DONKEY KONG COUNTRY!

 

[Beelzebufo]

I said no.

NO

Haha finee. I'd be fine with DKR2 and Metroid 4 at the same time.

If only I could express the level of excitement I actually feel with words... I think it would make up for all the complaints and then some.

 

[V-Faction]

Okay, a Diddy Kong Racing 2 with Dillon, Mallo, and Rusty as Tier-3 level Nintendo characters would be my jam. Now I want it.

"Diddy Kong: I remember when I used to be like you gentlemen. And then I learned to Down Throw, Up Air...."

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Wow, I can't believe that Platinum is making a Diddy Kong action game with a story written by Chris Avellone

And set in the Eternal Darkness universe, too!

 

[Kurtofan]

If true, fuck yes.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Poor Samus, can't even get a game after 5 years. Isn't she a Nintendo mascot? Could have sworn she was part of the big 3.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Poor Samus, can't even get a game after 5 years. Isn't she a Nintendo mascot? Could have sworn she was part of the big 3.

She is in the west, but Nintendo is based in Japan, where Fire Emblem has greater pull than Metroid.

 

[JDSN]

Hahahaha its like a fucking nightmare I cant wake from. I got Tropical Frezze for free and the game is still bad.

 

[thestopsign]

I'm thinking this is Diddy Kong Racing 3DS by Monster Games.

 

[NMFried]

It's gotta be a reboot of Diddy Kong Racing with an open world 3-D platforming element. Think Banjo-Kazooie meets Mario Kart. (But with N&B vehicle creation)

 

[88Titan88]

I'd hype a new Diddy Kong Racing more than I hyped MK8, lol.
If it's another port or remake, f*** you.

 

[Discomurf]

So this will most likely be the Zelda ''replacement' game for this November.

Interesting side note in Nintendo history: the first game was a holiday replacement as well (For a Banjo Kazooie delay).

 

[Sponge]

Please be Diddy Kong Racing

PLEASE BE DIDDY KONG RACING

Spoiler

by Playtonic/Retro

 

[RPGCrazied]

So this will most likely be the Zelda ''replacement' game for this November.

In that case I hope its Star Fox or Paper Mario U if its not Metroid.

 

[yatesl]

I'm with others. DKCR and TF were great, but I really want a different retro game... But GAFs reaction will be incredible

 

[EmCeeGramr]

What if it's "Diddy Kong Country," as in an expansion for Tropical Freeze in the vein of New Super Luigi U where Diddy is the main character with a different moveset and controls and there's no DK.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Poor Samus, can't even get a game after 5 years. Isn't she a Nintendo mascot? Could have sworn she was part of the big 3.

In what universe?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises

1. Mario
2. Pokémon
3. Zelda
4. Donkey Kong
5. Kirby
6. Animal Crossing
7. Metroid

It's even further down the list if you include casual titles from the DS era like Nintendogs and Brain Age, but let's not do that.

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

I'd love a new Diddy Kong Racing, I still play the original all the time and actually prefer it to the Mario Kart series.

 

[hatchx]

As much as I'd like a new Diddy Kong Racing, and as much as it makes sense with Nintendo's death grip hold on the kart racing genre, it can't possibly dethrone the MK8 king.

I'd love to see Diddy Kong along with 4-8 jungle-themed levels as an MK8 DLC pack. Do it.

 

[Discomurf]

In that case I hope its Star Fox or Paper Mario U if its not Metroid.

I have a funny feeling star fox will get delayed to spring 2016. If Diddy Kong is real its been in development for much longer.

 

[Oersted]

Poor Samus, can't even get a game after 5 years. Isn't she a Nintendo mascot? Could have sworn she was part of the big 3.

This not just confirms a Donkey Kong but also no Metroid game? To how many conclusions will we jump in this thread?

 

[Rizsparky]

Diddy's Kong Quest HD!

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

oh god, are my biggest fears coming true? If Retros game is DKR I will be veeerryy dissapointed and WIiU will be completely dead.

The game might not even be real and it's already delivering!

 

[RPGCrazied]

In what universe?

Link, Samus, Mario. Always been that way, maybe should have said, for me. Sorry!

Wasn't going on sales numbers.

 

[Bill Rizer]

Diddy Kong Country Returns? Diddy's Kong Quest 2? Diddy Kong Jr. Math?

Diddy Kong Racing DLC/standalone expansion for Mario Kart 8.

 

[pizzacat]

Better not be kongquest you can't just make a sequel to a game that a. Already has one and b. Doesn't need one since its that good

 

[Sponge]

Haha, Duddy Kong Racing by Retro would be quite the disappointment. I wonder how GAF would react?

Oh yeah! How dare Diddy Kong Racing get a game for the first time in a decade. We need another Metroid to make up for Other M.

If GAF acts like children again over a new Diddy Kong Racing then I'm going to flip.

 

[maxcriden]

Oh wow, never noticed that quote, that Monster side project was obviously Xenoblade 3D.

Seems so, right? That's what I was thinking. Just wondering if that was a small scale enough project to be considered "side." Was Monolith helping with it?

If this is how things are, i couldn't be happier. A new DKR by Monster Games (a team who already proved to be capable on one of my favourite arcade racer IPs) AND a main project by Retro, possibly Metroid? FUCK YES, IT'S CHRISTMAS GUYS. Let's hope it's legit.

Heck, let's go for broke and hope for DKR2 *and* DKCR3! With animal buddies.

 

[Ataru]

Yeah, but Retro aren't that big are they? They can only do one game at a time. Where is the diversity Nintendo needs...

The irony being that no other publisher has a line up as diverse as Nintendo.

 

[ryanofcall]

Whatever it is... Why is it not dixie kong?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

If? It's already starting and the game might not exist.
