What if at some point later in the Wii U life-span Retro decides to make a 3D Donkey Kong like DK64, what do you think the game's graphics would be like and would you like to see it?

[Colinx]

No. If anything Retro's next project should be FZERO, or Donkey Kong Racing.

Nintendo absolutely needs retros game to be a mindblowing showcase of metroid prime calibur.

By no means should they do another DK at least not this time. Retro really need a head turning show stopping game like Metroid to make any impact. We've been waiting extremely long and for them to reveal a DK game it'd be a massive slap in the chops. DK games are relatively easy to program, and for them to suddenly stop their reveal at E3 last year for a silly DK game just would strip credibility from Retro IMO.

You do understand that the OP said later in the WiiU's life span right?

As long as this beautiful angel is in the game... then hell yes.

Later, as in afterward. There first project hasn't come out yet. For all we know their current project could be released in 2014. It's going to be a good 2-3 years before we even see their next project. I'd consider that later in the Wii U's life span.

its metroid ppl

I'd prefer another DK Country but anything Donkey Kong-related is cool with me.

We know that Retro's current project was at least in some form ready for reveal last year, and they've probably been working on it much longer than that.  My hope is that they reveal and set a release date for either late this year, or early next.

This is why I suspect a new HD engine in development just for this game. It'd explain why they're taking their time. I suspect the engine they have for the Wii is outdated for Wii U games, I also suspect the cancelled E3 due to it not being jaw dropping enough and decided to improve the engine to fit more within Next Gen engines

Hell yes! DK64 was my favorite platformer ever. Seeing some ex-Rare members help with retro studios would be even better

Yes, I would love to see a sequel, I mean Retro has gotten me into DK more than Rare did. Heck they could call it Donkey Kong 128

[magiciandude]

I think DK64 should get a remake on the 3DS as well.

[MatrixChicken]

Perhaps not a sequel, but I'd love another 3D DK game. I loved DK64, and I think Retro could really make an epic successor to it. After all, some are calling Retro the new Rare...

[Smertrius]

yes they did make a sequel to donkey kong country on the wii and 3ds plus remake of diddy kong racing,

[MorbidGod]

Zelda, Metroid or new IP. That's the only options because the majority of ppl want them doing one of those games. And if you believe the tweet saying they are making a game everyone wants them to .... Then that's where we look.

Personally, a new Zelda or IP is what I want them to make. I think Metroid needs a rest after Other M.

You do understand that the OP said later in the WiiU's life span right?

I now understand. Lol

[Gaymer]

In my opinion, no. I personally thought Donkey Kong 64 was the worst DK game in the franchise. However, if they somehow managed to make the game good, then by all means.

[tboss]

no

Not Retro Studios. That company was never supposed to make games like DKCR (even though I love that game). The company was created to create games that appealed to western audiences. That's why the first games they were making were a first person action adventure game (nothing more that concepts and an engine which was later used in Prime), a Vehicle Combat game (think Twisted Metal meets Mario Kart battle mode), a football sim (we got Madden and NFL2K), and Raven Blade (an action rpg that they should totally come back to). Then they focused on Metroid Prime, and that became a huge hit. They were best with Meteoid, so that's why they continued those games. After DKCR was finished a lot of people left Retro and either founded their own studio (the people who almost made that Megaman X FPS, the Vita version of MGS HD Collection, and are currently working on Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate), or went to 343 Industries (which is why Halo 4 felt a bit like Meteoid Prime).

I'm not saying I wouldn't want to see a new 3D DK game, just not by Retro Studios: they need to focus on making Western titles.
