Returns was such a hit both in terms of ratings and sales, a sequel was inevitable, but we just never thought about it. And some people might ask, Retro wasted 2/2+ years on a 2D sidescroller? But when you actually watch the trailer you see that the 2+ year development time really justifies the game. It's in HD now, there's a lot more content, new level design, the return of Dixie Kong, there's underwater levels now as we saw a clip of DK swimming, and they're also experimenting w/ new camera angles that actually show full 3D. So with all that & probably a lot more, it does come across as a process, & I'm pretty sure that process will pay off.
