Nintendo files trademark for "Diddy Kong" in Europe. Can you dig it?
good times
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.
I really love that fan art! Great job.
the trifecta are Souls/FROM stans, Naughty Dog stans, and Zelda stans
its hard to reach that level of trash

If this is another Kong platformer, I'll be pissed. Do something different, Retro!
Oh whoops! I misunderstood you, actually. Thank you very much! I should probably finish this sometime.

The first page has always been remarkable because of the clean delineation between "Neat! I thought the first game was awesome, this one looks even better," and "THIS IS THE END FOR RETRO AND NINTENDO"

Why wouldn't both come out? One is a racer, the other a rails shooter.
FTFY.
Star Fox most likely has an online multiplayer component. So I suppose its possible, but knowing Nintendo they wouldn't put two of their multiplayer heavy hitters that close together.
DKR would also have been in development for much longer, Star Fox simply might not be ready after only one year.
Again this all speculating that DKR by Monster Games exists in the first place, but given all the evidence I'd say its coming... its rumored to be pretty far along and it makes logical sense that they wouldn't have shown it at last years E3 due to Mario Kart 8.

I included the point about Star Fox to temper expectations. It means that if either studio is working on it instead of a new game, there's one less game we're getting.
We might not see NLG or Retro's new projects (though NLG's seems incredibly likely with how long its been since the last one), and Platinum's might not be related to Nintendo. But it's not like impossibly unlikely. At the very least, I'd bet we'll see a new Nintendo game from one of them.

I hope Zelda U gets cancelled in favor of a big budget fucking Donkey Kong 3D adventure.

:lol
I hope it isn't even a game, I hope it's just a new character for Tropical Freeze.
That VGX Cranky reveal was the best. Crank it up.
Yes. With an accompanying Amiibo that is actually easily obtainable as no one wants it.

Pink Gold Diddy Kong.
To be fair, in at least one timeline, it was probably what brought about the post-apocalyptic world of Judge Dredd
Someone should have a new thread ready to go with "Retro is making FUCKING ___" ready to go, and quickly fill in the blank and drop a link in the OP as soon as it's announced.

Has Retro ever made a 3rd person 3D platformer before? I would prefer "Diddy Kong Adventure" than another Kart racing game.

Nah, but they can probably use the skills they learned from Prime and Returns to help out.
I'm still baffled people were

They've made Metroid Prime and fucking Donkey Kong.

True, though Metroid fans are up there, along with Platinum fans at times.
That's what I'm hoping for from them. Dark Moon is my favorite 3DS game, and I would love to see LM3 on the Wii U.
It's kind of sad that as a massive DK fan I wouldn't actually complain.
No, GAF exists in the reality where we haven't had a 3D Metroid game in five years, a good 3D Metroid game in eight years, a handheld Metroid game in nine years and a 2D Metroid game in eleven years, which absolutely sucks. People are getting desperate for a new Metroid game and it shows.
This was me when Rare was bought by Microsoft. We didn't have a great Donkey Kong for years. Shame we can't get Donkey Kong and Metroid at the same time.
I remember some of those posters! Good times.
I so want to make a wall of shame for this, but I'd run out of room with just the first 100 posts

What? It would be amazing
There is no reason why we can't, just that people need to release that there are many talented studio capable of doing a Metroid game.

Nintendo crossover racer with 2nd bananas (and other characters not really fit as Smash fighters) would probably get me more excited than a DKCR3.
Dangit, slowly getting hyped for E3 now.

Am i a bad person if i still dont care about that game? I have a Wii U, but there's so many platforming games that i was burned before the game was even announced.
If Retro makes another one, i'll be hugely disapointed. Too many platformers, not enough action/adventure games, especially with Zelda's delay.

Well, Retro made the first three, so it's understandable why people would trust Retro to make a fourth one. I mean, we don't know if any other studio can make a Metroid game as good as Retro did :/

Retro is a different studio now, though. IIRC, a lot of the old Retro staff now works at Armature (Arkham Origins Blackgate).
Diddy Kong Racing 2!? :O
That would be amazing as long as they don't fuck up the roster and give the game a competent adventure mode. If it happens I hope the original cast (sans Conker and Banjo) can be brought back despite that going contrary to the rumor. A cast of super niche Nintendo characters doesn't sound that exciting, at least give us Fox or Kirby or something. lol

E3 is gonna be delicious.
This was a great thread. The title alone provided a few laughs.
Though that's not to say I was happy about the whole thing (or that E3). I mean, I knew it would be good, it's just not what I was hoping for at the time Oh wells.

Well, I doubt Nintendo will just give Metroid Prime to Armature, so if anybody will make a fourth one, it'll probably be Retro

Actually, it seems more of them at Bluepoint now than Armature. And guess what, Bluepoint and Armature are basically port machines while Retro continues to make great games. And a lot of the Prime folks are still there.
