OH U KNOW it's gonna have waggle. And with HD rumble? You'll be feelin those beats man. Donkey_Konga_3.
YOu take that bacckkkkk. DK64 WAS good! I swear! Believe meeeeee gosh darn it T_T
seeing how both Zelda and Mario this year have gone and done something either brand new or rarely seen (15years since Mario Sunshine) I would love to see what they do with new ideas for DK. I don't really want them to do yet another 2.5d platformer.
Honestly, regardless of what happens with the series, it makes me happy to see him mention it alongside the other three that have got or are getting titles out.
Some sort of reinvention is what DK needs, Tropical freeze and DKC2 are two GOAT worthy 2D platformers, time to see where else the franchise can be taken in 3D.

Make it a sequel to DK64 with it running on Odyssey's engine but give it a more action oriented focus to differentiate it. Also bring back all of the animal buddies!
I honestly thought the same before I discovered NeoGAF lol
Thought it was regarded as an all time classic like all the other N64 games!
Nope. It's being done by a completely different internal team at Nintendo. Nobody has any idea what Retro is working on. I can't believe you're just finding this out. This has been known since E3. :p
I'd be open to a 3D Donkey Kong game. I haven't played DK64 in years, since it's release, but when I was younger I enjoyed it and didn't mind the back tracking and emphasis on item collecting.
yo if dude is talking about a game-changing donkey kong game along with metroid and the mario+zelda we already have...
A 3D DK game with a seamless overworld sounds cool. Sort of like Odyssey without all of its abstract de-connectedness. I think it could be different enough based on DK and friends' movesets and general atmosphere, even if it was similar to Odyssey on a basic level.
Hm, yes back in 2012. I suppose that's an option if they were serious about pitching it.

Jesus, I don't even trust them to handle sport spinoffs these days. There's no way that a 3D Donkey Kong from them would turn out to be good.
Don't worry bud. I too, love DK64. I just know a lot of people dislike it (and why), so I default to popular opinion when making statements to avoid the headache. Lol
I mean, a new Donkey Kong is likely, because it's obviously a well-known and established franchise - but I think Reggie is just giving examples of two big, classic Nintendo IPs that had new titles in the last few years (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars, Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Metroid: Samus Returns all came out since 2014), so that it's not weird to mention them casually (imagine if Reggie had said "Metroid and F-Zero"... it would be weird, right?) and saying Nintendo constantly tries to make something interesting with them.
Now, if we're talking about hypothetical revamps of the Donkey Kong franchise... I could see Nintendo trying to make it a traditional 90s platformer title, in 3D. That could be fun. We've already had five Donkey Kong Country titles and only one 3D Donkey Kong title, so I could see them giving it a try.

I grew up with this game and love it to death. I've never understood the dislike. Glad to see a like-minded soul!
There already was a Donkey Konga 3, though. It just never made it out of Japan!
Imagine every star in Mario 64 was collect 100 coins, and multiply it by 5. It's really horrible game design.
Doesn't sound like he explicitly said that there's a new Donkey Kong coming.
There most likely will be a new one at one point for sure, that's pretty much a no-brainer.
But the way he worded it I understood it as "No matter the game, Nintendo's current approach is sort-of reinventing the games we have to lure in new customers and surprise long time fans as well."

Donkey Kong Country, for me, is always going to be that 2D platforming experience. I wouldn't want an open world Donkey Kong Country. Only way they can change the old 2D formula is to possibly Metroidvania it.
