It's going to be a Sega + Nintendo racing game by Sumo Digital. It will have karts, boats, and planes--like Transformed, except it will be a spiritual evolution of the Diddy Kong Racing design. Ok, maybe not, but better to be safe and start saving for that preorder now.

(Seriously, though... This is one of those concepts that designs itself. Plus you have Sumo, who has clearly been spread too thin in the past with their unpolished, haphazardly designed racers launching on every platform alive day one. Sumo could use the opportunity to focus on one platform. Transformed was also seriously hampered by the actual transforming mechanic. As well as the track design, which forced players into finding a new racing line each lap, which ultimately made the tracks somewhat incomprehensible to many kart-inclined gamers. However, if they adapt the DKR design, a similar game could flourish.

Rather than transform, just alternate between a different vehicle each track. Rather than force convoluted racing lines, encourage exploration and experimentation through the adventure racing structure from DKR. Those tracks in Transformed are often regrettably obtuse and largely harmed more than helped by transforming. Sumo had the right idea, but the central gimmick became a serious design hindrance. I don't doubt Sumo's ability to design tracks, in fact I think they could take what they learned from Transformed and create some incredible cool adventure-style track designs to take the DKR concept to an entirely different stratosphere. I'm telling you, they are destined to make this game.)
