I'd honestly be totally down for a new 3D Donkey Kong game from them. I have a feeling though they're working on a new IP and I wonder if there's a chance of it being a multiplayer/online game. Or at least having online components to it.
Depends what it is I guess. If it's something where they are creating entirely new assets and a new engine I can see why it would be taking longer

maybe they developed something for the wii u but had to start again when the switch was in talks.
Of course all kinds of scenarios are possible but beyond the initial scratchy start to Retro's history, why would we believe this? It's highly likely that a Wii U projected got moved to Switch but why started from scratch?
If it is an online game I think that would both explain why it's taking so long and also maybe part of why the paid online service got bumped to next year. Obviously that's just one theory though.

Yeah definitely when you put it out there like that.
But an open world donkey kong will work, its time. lol
I. guess is possible that the game they were working on was cancelled and now they are trying to figure out what to do next
I was the only member of the DK 64 Defense Force on GAF, and I will gladly be one of its two members here on REF. The game is great and a perfection of the gameplay prototyped in Banjo-Kazooie.

That said, this isn't Retro's mystery game, lol. Which is just as well, because I don't know that anyone there has ever worked on a collect-a-thon platformer before.

I've loved what they've done with DKC and Metroid, so I'm fine with whatever they want to do next. Bringing life back to an existing franchise would be in their wheelhouse, but I'd all over a new IP from them as well. As far an existing franchise, though? Open-World Star Fox Adventures? Yoshi RPG? Donkey Kong Maker?
It's funny the reputation that DK 64 would later get because it was pretty well received at the time and I'll never forget my dad's face when I showed him Jet Pack.
Every year for the last two years I was sure they'd show their project at E3, I'm beginning to be worried. What if they split in two teams and there are now two concurrent projects?
DK64 is bloated beyond saving and unnecessarily complex. The environments are too big and not even remotely as inspired as Banjo-Kazooie's ones.

Guess it will be announced next year and be available shortly after (=same year). Hope it's not any kind of DK game.
Retro is over.
Almost 4 years and nothing.
No game should take that long. Unless it's something reaaallllyy complex like some new IP MMO shit.
But its not.
Imagine taking 4 years to make a Donkey Kong game, ffffff.
I want them to make Eternal Darkness 2. But again, 4 years is a lot of time for a 10 hours horror game.
No matter what, their new game announcement is already a disappointment. We can only hope it's a good one, despite the long wait.

You know what, this is a great idea. Let's have Retro make a sequel to Star Fox Adventures. It has the dubious honor of being the most recent solid Star Fox game. And they seem like they would do a good job of it.
They haven't done anything notable since 2009 with the Prime Trilogy imo (which was only a compilation), so its New IP or gtfo.... Literally. They need to get that 'RARE treatment' if they don't bring it this time.
Quoting myself from a post I made yesterday in another thread. Pretty sure I subconsciously inspired OP.
My soul wants Diddy Kong Racing 2.
My soul is probably gonna be left in the void waiting for my dream to be fulfilled.

Didn't they hire a composer who worked on Deus Ex? Nintendo did say to expect non traditional IPs in the future. Maybe Retro is making a sci-fi new IP?
I'd be fine with whatever they make tho personally. I would like them to come up with something wacky and new tho.

Given how long it's been since Tropical Freeze, I'd probably would be disappointed if it wasn't some major new IP. Although, I think the most likely explanation for why their game might've been pushed into 2018... is that 2017 was so damn packed.
I hope they don't. The strings made Metroid Prime happen. If not for that we'd be playing some silly Madden knockout.
They probably shifted the game from Wii U to Switch and had to change some stuff. I do agree it's taking long, but it's probably a new IP with western focus, so I can see why changing platforms is delaying it so much.
