Rumor: Retro Studios working on Donkey Kong title

Somehow we missed this the other day, but it looks like there’s another rumor to add to the growing list of possible announcements at E3 this week.
This one is all about the Gorilla.
According to IGN, rumors are rampant that Nintendo’s Retro Studios are working on a Donkey Kong title for Wii.
The last project the studio released was the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and last year, the studio told IGN that its next title was something we’d be “very excited” over once it was revealed.
Whether or not the rumor is true, we’ll surely find out if there is a new Donkey Kong on the horizon during Nintendo’s press conference Tuesday, June 15 at 9.00am PST/12.00pm EST.
More through the links.

It’ll be interesting to see what they can do with DK to stop me from loathing him with a vengeance. The original arcade games were great, but the SNES games (and all the others that followed) were fucking hateful.

@2 That is quite some venom you have. But I do have to ask; what the fuck is/was wrong with DKC in your opinion?

The SNES games were pretty much all about the graphics. Everyone WOWed about those at the time without seeming to realise that the games themselves were really quite rubbish. The handheld versions – same.
Add this to the fact that RARE’s revamp of the characters was just awful and you’ve got more than enough for me to moan about.

One, one plus two is three, can’t we get along?
You bring it on, The Monkey Kong
It’s just a name, they got it wrong
Every second, every day, every minute that you waste
You’re not every thing you seem
Keep on fighting for the right
Keep it rocking every night
That’s exactly what I mean
It’s all gone wrong, they called it Monkey Kong

I’d actually forgotten about DK64, so I’ll let that one off. Mainly because I don’t recall ever seeing it in action, never mind playing it.
It still featured the same RAREified characters though, so most likely it was a turd.

Actually, maybe it isn’t DK at all – maybe it’s RARE? I’ve just looked up pictures of DK64 on the ‘net and they remind me of Banjo Kazooie, another game that makes me want to kill people.

But what about ‘Kinect Sports’?!
Surely that restores your faith in RARE?

Therapy for Blerk!
My favourite pastime.
Is it that you weren’t hugged enough as a child?… Or that a giant monkey by the name of ‘Honky Slchong’ ravaged your play ground at the age of 5?.

I think someone beat him up and stole every copy of DK he purchased ever and now he hates those games
