Oh cool, I guess I don't need to do my DK bit anymore if someone is just going to come out and say it publicly.


But but, my famed mondo mega leaker posts, the gimmick I was running into the ground and half believed might have elements of truth to it!

in other news (or on that news) hip hip hooray, this almost makes up for me making yet another dead thread

Nier has appeared on a nintendo system, as DLC for Final Fantasy Theatrythm Curtain Call.
even more obscure than the gameboy kingdom hearts stuff IMO but its there.

Yeah, but an actual Nier game hasn't ever been published on a Nintendo system, even though some of its music appears in Theatrythm and 2B is a skin in PSO or whatever.

It's kinda like how Halo technically does have some presence on Nintendo through a Master Chief skin in Minecraft on Switch, but obviously no actual Halo game has been published on Nintendo. That's what CyberWolf was getting at there.

The next 2D Donkey Kong Country platformer will mark the return of DK Jr.

He'll be the only character in the whole game that's still a 16-bit sprite.

I'd always have happily taken another game in the vein of modern Retro (great wording) DKC, but I'm also 100% sure it would end up being one of those more of the same sequels that struggled to add much that the first two don't already cover, I guess you could add more animal buddies and actual bonus rooms again but then that's just more of the SNES entries.
Remember how Nintendo damn near marketed TF around KONG-POW? do you even remember KONG-POW? Making standard 2D platforming sequels in the modern day has a greater glass ceiling of sorts than back in the day, at least if you want to reach out beyond the platformer die hards like myself.

We need the Wario Land 3 of DK.

You won't even be able to pick up barrels until you learn how.

But don't worry, the blow move will be part of your starting set.

Oh cool, a random insider I know nothing about. I'll just say that I'd be very excited for a new DK 3D platformer.

My take on a 3D DK is a character action/brawler where the kongs have to battle Stanley the Bugman and his bug army. Imagine EDF with the battle stylings of Yakuza.

Rare DK fans: "We want a new 3D Donkey Kong!"

Nintendo: *Makes one, with all of the modern sensibilities of their 3D platforming know-how*

Rare DK fans: "What the fuck is this. The DK rap isn't even here."

It's been such a long time since Nintendo has actually made a DK game of their own, I have a hard time convincing myself that it could potentially happen.

I'd love to see what they'd come up with, though

I sincerely doubt this would be the reaction to a new 3D DK game. If anything, I'd bet most Rare DK fans probably don't want one at all. If it happens though, fans would just want it to be good, like any sensible fan.

Next Level Games has tackled a revival of Punch-Out!! and basically adopted Luigi's Mansion. I wonder what franchise Nintendo would let them work on next?

ideally it'd be a game that benefits from higher fidelity and fantastic cartoony character animations, without too much platformer-like character movement or controls

hmmm, I'm actually not sure

Mario Strikers again, lol.

I wonder if a 3D DK structured like 3D Land would work

Linear levels in a 3D space that follow similar design ideas from 2D games
If the game is 3D I think i'd like that 3D Land/World structure, yeah. DK64 scared me away from sandbox 3D DK forever.

A new 3D Donkey Kong would be amazing but if it's Nintendo EAD headed I kinda worry they'll sideline the western-made characters again sans (maybe) Diddy.

New Donk City makes a ton of references to Rare characters (multiple Kongs, animal buddies and K. Rool); plus Dixie and Funky appeared in an EPD-developed game this year (Mario Kart Tour).

I'd trust EPD Tokyo to do it justice. No way Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Funky and K. Rool are absent at the very least.

I expected Super Mario Odyssey 2 as an inevitability up until recently, with 35th anniversary Mario only delivering platforming ports plus a new side mode it does make me wonder what the team has actually been up to.
Maybe they did take on DK just to have a break from eternal Mario.

Or maybe it's Ubi Milan or something, who knows?! should be interesting to see the direction the game and its art style goes in depending on who's tackling it.

If it actually exists, I should stop assuming it actually does based off nothing but scuttlebutt.
