It has been a surprisingly interesting year for Donkey Kong Country fans. An HD remaster of Donkey Kong Country Returns will be releasing next year, and Super Nintendo World is in the process of rolling out an area for Donkey Kong Country. It is opening to the public in Osaka, Japan this week, and Americans will be able to see it at Universal Studios Florida next year.
Video Games Chronicle was able to travel to Osaka, Japan and visit the new area of Super Nintendo World recently, and they even published a review of it. There, it includes some reactions from people who developed the original Donkey Kong Country. One of them is Steven Mayles, who helped create many characters, including Dixie Kong and Rambi.
Mayles said that “it’s been 30 years since I worked on Donkey Kong Country: seeing the characters we created at Rare presented like this, given such love after all this time, it’s quite surreal. Even though we borrowed the DK IP from Nintendo, and much of the park is themed on the latest DKC games from Retro, the strong theme we created for DKC remains. That’s a part of Twycross that will forever be in Osaka I guess! And yes, I would very much like to work on another DKC game”.
This is how Developers think. And if yall do make a new DK game what yall going to do after that wait until.2060 and say” I would love to make a new DKC game. Why wait so long? Bad enough Prime 3 and Prime 4 are 20 years apart.
Pragmatism is on the side of the publishers, not the developers… Just because a developer “wants” to make this or that game doesn’t mean it’s feasible. there is the economic interest behind it, it’s the publisher who manages it; It’s normal that he refuses a game that doesn’t have sufficient sales potential
Gruntilda, your trolls are tiresome, you know?
Developers knows what’s best for their beloved IPs.
Give this man the keys, Nintendo- a new DKC would be most welcome, 10+ years after Tropical Freeze.
A Donkey Kong Mania would be pretty cool imo
Just give us the SNES trilogy HD remaster
For the love of Princess Peach, please give us a remastered version of DKC trilogy. Don’t change anything other than updating the graphics! Don’t touch the gameplay!
Imagine the original Donkey Kong Country dev crafting a CarX Street Drive crossover—a thrilling mash-up of vibrant levels and high-speed street races!
