Yea, seriously, sign me up if this is true. I know people want an Odyssey 2, but dang a DK64 successor done by that team would be even better in my opinion.
I personally would love a Jungle Beat 2 lol. But, I thought after I finished Odyssey, I do hope they do something different for a sequel. Much like SMW2 - Yoshi's Island, if you controlled Donkey Kong (and other characters) searching for a kidnapped Mario, would make for some new movesets whilst retaining the theme of travelling the world. Super Mario Odyssey 2 - Kong's Quest (or something) would kill 2 birds with one stone. But either way, the hint at the end of Paper Mario trailer showed a 3D DK. And it's about time we got one lol.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.
@link3710 To be honest I don't remember folk talking about DK64 in a postive light that often. It's normally either by extension of the Country games or talking about Rare's old output in general. The Banjo Kazookie and Donkey Kong Country games completely overshadow DK64. If there's a new 3D game I'd hope it's takes it's inspiration from elsewhere and keep the Country characters over 64s like Dixie over Tiny. If they do keep just one thing from 64 I hope it is this...
The video posted on the last page unfortunately claims the new DK will be 2D and NOT 3D. Hope that's wrong, I'd love to see a proper AAA first party 3D adventure/platformer that wasn't Zelda or Mario...
@VoidofLight I don't think they are doing that. There isn't enough stuff there to make deleting old articles necessary. Plus, what about the first ever batch of nes games that were added? They are still on there.

Can't possibly imagine it being better than an Odyssey 2. I'd prefer they did it as well rather than instead.
3D Platformers are quite a broad genre (and popular one). Nintendo can afford to have 2 going at once. As they often do with 2D platformers.
I just really think they'd be mad not to make an Odyssey 2. Given how well it sold, and given how they could literally reuse everything from the 1st game and just make some new levels (like they did with Galaxy 2)
@Dezzy I don't think it would be quite that easy. I'd want and expect new worlds with new themes and new enemies to control so if it's just reusing the same assets that would be a bit pish in my opinion.
The fact that Odyssey never received DLC (which would have been very easy to do: Just make 3 more Kingdoms), lead many people to assume that a sequel was coming eventually. Maybe another team is making the sequel, whilst the Odyssey team makes the DK game?
I do find it strange that those nso articles were removed from the switch news app. And that diddy kong render on Nintendo of Japan's website. Something is going on.
Well that's what I'm talking about. I don't mean reusing assets like Super Luigi U, where it's just the exact same levels with some edits to change things up.
I mean reusing assets like Majora's Mask, where they reused like all of the game systems and basic textures and models in order to create a completely new world, that you wouldn't really notice was reused unless someone pointed it out. The most you would notice is that it looks very similar in its graphical style. Same as with Galaxy 2 as well. That was completely new in everything except its general visual style and game mechanics.
