Cant watch but Im interested. New Mario was giga underwhelming after galaxy.

 

[TunaLover]

About 2 years waiting for Retros game and it's DK, lame.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Best platformer of last gen gets a sequel. That's not bad.


That said it is sad that Retro is not allowed to pursue other IPs.

 

[Turok_TTZ]

What is with the disappointment? this is great news. DKCR was glorious. This will be just as glorious.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Like others said. At least it wasn't Mario Kart.

DKCR was great but I think players have great faith in Retro to do something of a larger scale.

 

[Mdk7]

Nintendo, FUCK YOU.

 

[BertramCooper]

Is it possible that Retro is handling multiple projects?

Based on the people they've been hiring, it seems odd that they'd be entirely devoted to a DKCR sequel.

 

[BD1]

Ouch.

DKCR was really good, but this is not what I was expecting.

 

[Mr. Fix]

But what does Tricky think!?

I'm hyped for this! A bit unfortunate at no Metroid, but I'm not complaining. DKCR is great!

 

[Ushojax]

I'm pretty sure Retro has two teams, this is probably the smaller of their projects.

 

[Kerub]

Did people seriously expect Metroid? You have way to hight expectations on Nintendo.

 

[metalslimer]

No wonder all their talent left. lol Nintendo

the lanyard has spoken.

[Always-honest]

I think it will be a great game. But i must admit i was hoping Retro would show another game..

 

[many places]

FUCK YESSSSSSSS

DIXIE KONG IS BACK FUCKERS


DKC FOREVER

I HAVE TO BUY A WII U

It's cool someone is happy.

Or this could be sarcasm. Not sure.

 

[javac]

I love it but I knew people would be going berserk lmao

 

[Andrea23]

This is a sad day Q____________Q.

Shiet : (.

 

[Aeana]

I'm so happy! Really can't wait to play.

 

[Treythalomew]

Did people seriously expect Metroid? You have way to hight expectations on Nintendo.

I personally thought they would take over some Star Fox action.

 

[decoyplatypus]

Okay, it seems like this is a safe place to be disappointed (even while conceding that DKCR was awesome, and I'm excited to have more of it): I was kind of banking on Retro to deliver either a new IP or at least a new Metroid because that series now needs a revival, and it could probably benefit from the extra horsepower more than DKCR. Besides which, Wii U isn't exactly hurting for platformers, but it desperately needs original, expansive 1P adventure games.

 

[TentPole]

I am sure that this and the new Mario will be fantastic games, but it is hard to not be super bummed out by them all the same.

 

[chaosblade]

Yawn. I'll probably buy it, but I'm hesitant just because I don't want to support them making yet another one. Was really hoping they would have something new or interesting. Not Donkey Kong.

 

[spliced]

YEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Thank You Retro.

Don't screw up the controls this time.

 

[Brazil]

What a fucking disgrace. This is why everyone leaves the studio.

 

[balohna]

It's kind of funny scrolling through this thread and seeing how people with Metroid avatars feel.

That said, I was hoping it would be either a new Metroid or something entirely new.

 

[Zarovitch]

Yes for a new donkey Kong, but that's not what i've been waiting for.

 

[CronoShot]

Such a talented team, and they put them to work on a sequel ANYONE at EAD could have made.

I'm done. I'm just done.

Such a colossal disappointment.

 

[Ithil]

Doesn't seem to gel with what they've been saying on what they were developing?
Maybe they're developing two games at once.

 

[Portugeezer]

FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Fucking disappointed.

 

[Sandfox]

Some of you guys are acting like Retro is working on Wii U Fit lol

I personally thought they would take over some Star Fox action.

I wanted Star Fox as well but that series sells like crap and I doubt it would do any better now.

 

[Ydahs]

It looked amazing, but yeah, we need Retro working on something else...

Maybe they have more than one team working on two separate projects?

 

[Always-honest]

Did people seriously expect Metroid? You have way to hight expectations on Nintendo.

Why? It's a fucking Nintendo game. Don't be a Douche.

 

[RPGCrazied]

This is Retro's secret game? Oh my. Oh well. I thought it would have been something else. I guess as long as they have been working on Metroid, I guess they will work on Donkey Kong just as long. Just a thought.

 

[Wishmaster92]

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE!!!!!!! Retro is becoming the new Rare!!!!!

 

[Andrea23]

This is a sad day Q____________Q.

Shiet : (.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Good its new donkey kong but I know alot of people wanted something different including myself.

 

[megabytecr]

Fuck this x1000, DKCR is cool and all but why waste Retro on it.

Major Direct disappointment for me. Mario 3D did not impress me either. Mario Kart 8, Bayo 2 and X look amazing though.

 

[Averon]

No Star Tropics. So that "insider" was bullshit, right?

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[metsallica]

I am owed several apologies. Got torn up on here saying this was their new game ages ago.

 

[Scoot2005]

I'm fucking beyond pissed.

 

[batbeg]

Man, a fucking platformer instead of a grimdarkmatoorshooter? I'm sick of platformers, they're so fucking overdone now.

 

[Jay Sosa]

 

[SmokedMeat]

DK's great, but I was really hoping for Metroid

 

[Rösti]

Appalling news in my opinion. The resources could have been used to produce something original and fresh. Instead, we get something we've already played twice (once on Wii, once on Nintendo 3DS). Where's the innovation, the passion? I'm not impressed.

 

[web01]

No Kremlins = Fuck you Nintendo.

They probably think they are too scary for children or some stupid reason so we get these goofy ass enemies.

Probably doesn't bode well for King K Rool getting his well deserved and overdue place on the smash bros roster.
