Topic: Donkey Kong 64 rumors!

that'd be awesome too. with new stuff though. maybe an extra adventure with more kongs.

Its called Donkey Kong Country Returns

It's called a sequel to DKC, not DK64.

Wasnt DK64 a sequel to the DKC games?

Yes considering DKC games are sidescrollers

just to clarify, when i say i want a sequel to dk64 i mean i want a 3d donkey kong game. not a side-scroller

I would agree with this however DKC is a 2d platformer and DK64 is a 3d platformer. DKCR is closer to DKC for that reason. Mario Galaxy is a different when compared to New Super Mario Bros. What they want is for Retro to attempt to bring DK back to 3D platforming.

It's only one source - until there are others it's not worth considering too seriously.

I agree

This.

Well well, this (and Banjo Kazooie) needs to find their way back home to NiNtEnDo LaNd...somehow, someway, it can be done I'm sure...just a matter of time...

Hang on a minute - how does the fact this was developed by Rare affect its release? We already have Rare games on the Virtual Console (complete with logo) so that's surely not the issue. Also what's with this jetpack thing? Isn't the jetpack in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Smash Bros Brawl for a start? It's a stupid thing to lay claim to anyway - I think all this is just speculation. Nintendo own the Donkey Kong rights and games and it simply hasn't appeared for the same reason other Nintendo games are yet to appear: they just haven't.

@madgear: No no, you misunderstand. Jetpac is a 1983 game made by Rare (back then known as Ultimate Play The Game) that's unlockable in DK64. That's why it's an issue.

this game has already been made... =P

We already have Rare games on the Virtual Console (complete with logo) so that's surely not the issue.

Releasing this game on the VC is no different to them releasing Killer Instinct or Banjo-Kazooie on the VC. Which you should know that they can't do due to their agreement with Microsoft. Nintendo owns 95% of Donkey Kong 64 but this small game that is Rare's property is significant and cannot just be overlooked. Plus its not like they would just remove Jetpac; they don't like to alter their games other than cosmetically when necessary.

So what about the Donkey Kong arcade? Isn't that an issue too? And it's superior to the VC version to have the missing level.

Nintendo owns the arcade version of Donkey Kong so its not the same issue. All the issue is here is yes Nintendo may not want it to steal downloads away from the NES game or the actual arcade game if it ever gets released.

This is the reason I dont think we'll ever get GCN on VC.
Namco Museum, Sonic Gems, Sonic Mega Collection, Mega Man anniversary, Ect. and this is also why we got AllStars in Physical Form

Donkey Kong 64 rumours? What are you talking about the 64 is dead with not one donkey kong game on it

I didn't know it had an unlockable game. They could just not include it, however - it's not going to affect the main game is it?
