Donkey Kong Country Returns

Rumor: Retro Studios Working on Donkey Kong Game for Wii

Quote:
Having already successfully recreated one beloved Nintendo franchise in 3D with the Metroid Prime series, could Retro Studios now be working on doing the same for Donkey Kong? Evidently yes, as IGN reports (via Kotaku) that Retro is rumored to be working on a new Donkey Kong game for the Wii.

To be sure, this is yet another completely unconfirmed pre-E3 rumor, although IGN calls it "certainly credible," with the information coming from "those in the know." There are no details on what this supposed Donkey Kong game will play like, so we'll have to wait for Nintendo's E3 press conference to find out -- if true -- what Retro might have in store for the franchise.

Retro's last release was the Metroid Prime Trilogy compellation for the Wii last year, making their last original release Metroid Prime 3: Corruption way back in 2007, so they're likely due for a new announcement. Similarly, the last stand-alone Donkey Kong game was the mediocre Donkey Kong Barrel Blast for the Wii in 2007, so Nintendo's ape could certainly do with a reboot as well.

We'll see if Retro does indeed have anything planned to announce when Nintendo's E3 press conference kicks off tomorrow morning.
I got an interesting mental image of a Prime-style shooter starring Donkey Kong.

Bongos?

No offense to Bongos, but it'll be nice to have a DK Game without them.

E3 2010: Retro Making Donkey Kong Country Returns



Quote:
This morning's Nintendo press conference had a few surprises up its sleeves. The rumors of a Retro-helmed Donkey Kong game turned out to be true, as the presentation showed off a video of Donkey Kong Country Returns. The visual style is fully rendered, but the gameplay takes place in the old side-scrolling 2D style. We saw Donkey and Diddy Kong in action. We'll have the trailer up as soon as possible, so you can feast your eyes on some Retro-crafted, retro gaming. Stick around for more news from E3 all this week.
