Musical Composer David Wise, who’s best known for his association with Nintendo, via Rare and for his music for likes of The Donkey Kong Country Series, Diddy Kong Racing and Starfox Adventures, is reportedly working on a Nintendo project. He’s said to be working in Texas for Nintendo and Retro Studios, according to a source close to him. This could mean Wise is contributing towards the recently announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch or, better yet, there’s the possibility that Wise is working on a new IP.

This man’s music gives me life
If this is DKCR3, I can die happy (after I play it of course)
What happened after that if they make DKC4?
What happened after that if they make DKC4?
If it’s DKCR3 that’s 4 years for a 2D platformer. I would hope it’s something new but Retro’s Donkey Kong games are pretty amazing. Plus this time we know someone else is making Metroid Prime 4.
4 years went by between Returns and Tropical Freeze though.
Tropical Freeze was ready for 2013. Retro themselves confirmed it was delayed to fill a release gap.
Didn’t know that. Makes sense to have done it though- Wii U had too many droughts between big releases.
Which is in vain because the Pii U had shittons of droughts and gaps plus delaying it for February release was a dumbass move knowing fully well that the consumer market in that period will be slow.
Yes I’ve seen that video.
Please be a new starfox game.
Not Adventure please
Why?
No be Pokemon
Why
Either remaster Star Fox 2 without shoveling motion controls up our asses or remaster Assault with refined TPS and online play as well as formally reviving our favorite Krystal.
Shoving
I honestly believe that we might see Krystal again in the next game. I just want to see new features in the next game. The montion controls in Star Fox zero is ok.
You lost me at Zero’s controls being okay. No it’s not and I have never seen such unpolished and tact on controls like that since Sonic & the Secret Rings.
Mmm you don’t say huh?
I prefer twin stick controls. Thank you. In fact, I already have SF on my 3DS to boot so fuck Zero which is the 3 rehash of the original game but worse than both of the previous combined.
The 3DS for Star Fox looks ok to me.
Sadly, 3DS version looks and plays better than Pii U’s.
Really?
I’m dead serious about it. The idea of SFZ existence makes zero sense when the 3DS has the same game but offer much more.
If only we can get more experience from it.

When you know David Wise is working on something, you know it’s gonna be golden. This guy is a legend.
IKR? His work on Donkey Kong Country 2 is fucking legendary.
It may be a new DK Country game. I hope they are also working on a 3D Donkey Kong because DK needs a new 3D platformer to expand this franchise to return it to being recognizable just like in the 90’s.
This makes me happy. Even if they lost their company (Rare) they still working for Nintendo
High Command knows better than to lose their best chess pieces.
He’s working in Texas for retro studios.
Seriously, this is so obvious.
It’s on like Donkey Kong. NEW DONKEY KONG.
With TF on the horizon very soon, I can almost put money on the fact we will get a brand new entry of dk very soon, ( and it will more than likely be a 2d platformer, not 3D ) with details possibly coming at e3 and THAT will be one of Nintendo’s pre Christmas games, don’t expect MP4 till 2019.
It would be amazing if the new game has the same aesthetics as Mario 3D World with a mix of 2D/2.5D/3D elements.
I thought that was phill swift for a second
I’ll be “disappointed, part II” if Retro’s next project is just another DKC game. I loved TP, and included it on my Wii U top 12 video, but I’m honestly hoping for a 3D game or new IP. 4 years was too long for a side-scroller in 2014, and it still is. Here’s the video in question, BTW: https://youtu.be/6SUglODVdXw
Something tells me it’s a new DKC game for Switch. Why else would he be composing for them again? And no, it’s not like I dislike his work. I LOVE HIS MUSIC SINCE DKC2.
assuming that Nintendo relly only created Retro Studios to have a Studio doing new versions of Retro franchises, It might indeed be another DK game. Which would be OK but not necessary as most Switch users don’t know TF yet and get their DK fix if they want.
Could totally imagine they’re working on a 3D DK game though but not sure if DK is still popular enough to justify such a production.
I’d prefer something newer (could also be some more unused franchise) just for sake of making the variety of brands a bit bigger.
…
what the heck, I’m calling it: ARMS ADVENTURES CONFIRMED!
