You have this weird thing of not understanding the respect they have for Miyamoto. If Miyamoto says that and Tanabe hears it, then it will be relayed to Retro to make new characters.
We NEED a third retro DKC game!
- Thread starter sanstesy
- Start date
monster seems to be no longer interested in working with nintendo ever since they got the nascar license back.
miyamoto isn't directly involved in every single nintendo project, but it still seems like a lot of stuff has to be run by him, to get his opinion. maybe mostly general stuff about the general direction and vibe of the games, but he's still "sharing" his opinion and affecting a lot of games' development.
for example in botw, while miyamoto has no involvement, aunoma and fujubayashi said in the nintendo power podcast that they had to get miyamoto's approval for the final designs of link and zelda.
Ding ding ding. Yep we know what Liam is referring to- DK as a guest character in Star Fox Grand Prix.
This will be funny to see DK flying in space lol.
Am I the only one who thinks there just too many 2D platformers on Switch? I feel like it's the only genre I'm playing on it. This year alone I played Celeste, Owlboy, Iconoclasts, Hollow Knight, Kirby, DKCTF, Megaman 11 and Megaman collection... While on the 3D platformer front, I had... None. Not even Spyro Collection. Come on guys, don't pray for a 2D DK game. I've been waiting for DK64 2 for almost 20 years and I deserve it. Please...
It's not Nintendo's fault if indies want to make 2D platformers. Plus lots of us have said we want a sequel to DK64.
I personally think it should be the "open world" design of DK64.
I wouldn't mind it as TF is awesome, but I must say I'm pretty hyped for Star Fox Grand Prix. The game I never knew I wanted.
they should have included a basic up-res version with TF :(
the game already looks great when emulated in high res.
that'll probably open the floodgates to more nintendo guest characters. people wanting mario kart to become nintendo kart may get their wish here.
i'm not saying they should work on more or less. 2D platforming is my favorite genre and while there's A LOT of amazing indie games in the genre recently, few come close to nintendo 2D platformers. i still want my 2D yoshi, mario, kirby, etc.
as for 3D platformers, it's a really hard genre to get right, most of them play like ass and are terrible. i don't think even nintendo has it in them to have 3 or 4 3D platforming series.
Yeah. He actually mentioned that a long awhile ago on his podcast.

DK would actually be a really cool and fitting choice for a guest racer considering he fits the whole anthromorphic animal motif. I just hope we can get Captain Falcon as an anthro falcon as a guest racer too lol
I could see F-Zero and Metroid characters as cameo racers for a game like this.
And the fact DK had it's own stellar racing spinoff
Oh Fat4All can be a wrong doggo. Interesting.
people hoping for the Katamari treatment of DK, fill your boots
I love how y'all have been groomed to expect trilogies.
Nevertheless, I would love if they did another one. Hell, I'd trust them with a 2D Metroid; their level design is so good.

But this is Retro we're talking about. Nintendo have only just a few studios that are experienced in 3D environment and Retro is one of them. I feel like their talent is wasted with 2D platformers while there are better 2D platformer makers like HAL, Arzest or GoodFeel. I'm not saying that 2D platforming should disappear altogether but GoodFeel is all Nintendo and we need. Maybe they should helm the next DKC game while retro could focus on something more modern?
It is true that Retro should stop doing 2D games. They have done open 3D games and that's lacked in some Nintendo partners.
Tropical Freeze is a good example of a misunderstood masterpiece, that had the unfortunate reality of being in a genre that most people only consider to being gaming comfort food.
Honestly I begin to wonder if another 3D DK is what is needed for the franchise.

i'm still expecting mario galaxy 3 and wii fit 3.
i disagreed with you on nintendo should stop making 2D platformers, but i agree with you that retro's talents can be better used on 3D games.
Star Fox GP is good because it's not a 2D game. It'll be lots of huge open environments I would guess.
Oh is it now? Tell me then, what wouldn't be a "waste of Retro's talent"? So sick of seeing this sentiment, I can't imagine it not being disheartening for Retro employees that put their all into Tropical Freeze.
It's because Retro is involved that you see hot takes that 2D platformers are a lesser genre. This is never brought up for Kirby or Yoshi because their devs only make 2D platformers.
A game is only a "waste of talent" if it turns out not to be a good product. Something like Federation Force is most certainly a waste of talent because we know Next Level Games is capable of doing better.
A game like Tropical Freeze or another 2D DKC game of the same quality is absolutely NOT be a waste of talent.
I don't think people mean to say it's a waste of their talent. People in general want to see Retro working on games with a bigger scope.
i doubt people are claiming TF isn't amazing or didn't take a lot of effort and talent to make, it's just that nintendo has many other teams capable of making 2D platformers, but only one western first party studio, that can make great 3D games. it's about wanting a catalog of different first party games and retro are the ones who can add something different to that catalog that nintendo's japanese teams aren't making.
oh boy
you're in for a treat with the rest of the game
and I agree. there's nothing Retro could make that'd be as good as an end to their DKC trilogy
I think it's happening, or a 3D platformer.
I feel pretty confident in two things though:
I feel pretty confident in two things though:
- After we get whatever it is Retro is working on right now, Donkey Kong will come next.
- The game will bring back the K Rool crew as the main villains.
I actually think Tropical Freeze feels like a natural conclusion to Retro's take on DKC. That being said, I'd gladly consume another entry with great excitement.
The rumors said Retro had another project they were working on that may have been cancelled.
Retro as a studio is better positioned to make mid-scope games rather than the big marquee games people keep expecting from them.
The Metroid Prime series was 2 to 3 generations ago and the industry has changed a ton since then. Nevermind that the reason we are waiting so long for a new game from them is likely because they had a canceled project they struggled to handle.
If it took them 5+ years to make another 2d platformer, something is seriously going wrong over at retro.
By the time they release another game, it'll have been as much time as between the release of prime 1 and prime 3.
My personal hope is they're giving 3d DK a shot , plus the rumoured Starfox racer.
I think I'd rather have a Donkey Kong Country Returns Director's Cut that "fixes" the game:
- running on TF engine
- 3DS extra world
- new soundtrack by David Wise
and then they can work on a 3D Donkey Kong game.

Didn't Miyamoto keep Intelligent Systems from using original characters in Sticker Star? It honestly wouldn't surprise me if this was the case for the Kremlings and Retro.
Yes to a third DKC retro game. The first two were awesome and the third would probably go down as the greatest 2D platformer of all time at this rate.
A 3D DK game could be interesting, just so long as it's absolutely nothing like DK64 on any level. That game is trash to the point that it's largely credited with killing the collectathon subgenre. If ya'll need to scratch that itch for some reason, just go back to Banjo. That's about as good as that whole mess gets anyways.
If you actually want another DK64, oof. Get help.
