Nintendo Highlights Every 'Donkey Kong Country' On Switch With A New Trailer

Please Nintendo, we're starving...

It is very cool to see that all the DK games are all in one place.
_{even if they're not presented in chronological order...}
Hopefully it means we'll get a new Donkey Kong adventure sooner than later.

And not a single one of them is new. It's been 10 years Nintendo, we're overdue.

Of the ones that "matter", all that's left is 64 and Jungle Beat. And also Diddy Kong Racing.

That is a surprising amount of love for the series. Maybe there is indeed a new title coming, after we get Returns HD.

We still need DK Land 3. Preferably the formerly Japan only GBC version

Maybe someday we will get a new DK, it’s been the same 2 games since the Wii days.

I'd love remakes of the SNES games. Something like the Crash Bandicoot trilogy.

Surely gearing up for a new game. A new 3D DK game is seriously overdue!

Clearing the way for a new DKC is pretty much the only reason Iv'e been eager for Prime 4 to come out. Hopefully we get one before too long. Not interested in a 3D one.

@PikminMarioKirby Wii U* days

I think Nintendo is well aware of the need for a new Donkey Kong game.
Retro have clearly had their hands full with Metroid Prime 4 so I think once development has wrapped for that, they will be straight on a new DKC game if they aren't already!

For those begging for a new DKC game, remember the that Retro is still working on Metroid Prime 4 for the past few years. That’s their main priority right now. Once Metroid Prime 4 is released, perhaps we will get a new DKC game.

DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing coming soon to Switch Online…right Nintendo…right?!?!

oh hey, that footage of DKC Returns HD at the end is new
And comparing that to the reveal trailer it looks like they fixed a lot of the visual quirks that were in that reveal trailer

Bring back Donkey Konga. My Bongo's await the news 😆

I'm not buying Returns on Switch next month. I'm going to buy it second hand and play it on the 3DS instead as a protest!

11 years without a new Donkey Kong game is shambolic from Nintendo. This trailer merely highlights the embarrassing fact that despite Switch's huge success and their filthy riches... they can't get a new game from one of the oldest, biggest and most iconic game IPs in existence.

Call me entitled, I don't care, it is rubbish that we live in a world that gives us FIFA and COD every darn year over and over again, but meanwhile Donkey Kong is at 11 years and counting.

Nintendo should give the IP to someone that can actually manage it properly.

@anoyonmus Yes, we know that thanks. But also remember that Retro last released a game in 2014 - Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

So last game in 2014...

Metroid Prime the last 5 years...

Hang about? What did Retro do the other 5 years? 2015? 2016? 2017? 2018? 2019?

So yes. People are getting impatient - to put it midly!!

They're just taunting us now lol

@anoyonmus But like... they could just have someone else develop it. Let's not pretend Nintendo doesn't have internal dev teams capable of developing a new dkc game. They could even outsource it if needed. Dkc returns 3D was developed by monster games, who even designed a bunch of new levels for that version. So yeah, not taking that as an excuse.

I'm poised to begin my DKC marathon as soon as December begins. And delighted that the Land games are now available, too!

@BrazillianCara >DK94 has entered the chat<

@nocdaes Okay, don't be so dramatic. It's really not that bad.

Is no one mentioning the fact that Nintendo is absolutely capable of giving us DKC SNES in Widescreen?! This is proof!!!

I only have one Donkey Kong game on Wii from purchasing Wii PAL Australia version with 10 bonus Wii games last time and I still haven't continued the game yet.

Ok, now I want to play Returns even more XD. I don't like that it's full price, but if I find it cheaper somewhere (which I always do), I'll get it day one.

Really hoping all of this recent love for DK sparks a potential new game.

Time for DKCR3.

Whatever the next game is, I really hope they shake up the formula a little bit. Or just make it obscenely gorgeous. I'm probably good with that also, lol.

Not seen that weird footage between the games before.

This is going to have the extra levels we got on the 3DS right? Absolutely loved this game.

@N00BiSH I don't think it's being dramatic. As others have, rightly, pointed out Nintendo either need more developers or they need to let other people make games with their IP. Eleven years without a new Donkey Kong game is poor but when you consider how successful Switch has been and how much money Nintendo are sat on... it's really poor on their part.

If people are happy with Nintendo's pace of releasing games then fine. I'm merely shining a light on some evidence that suggests Nintendo need to up the pace.

Is it me or the footage looks better than the one originally shown? I was on the fence since it did not look that good but geez, it seems that they have polished those grafxs!!

Some of the best platformers of all time, full stop.
