Forums - Gaming Discussion - Nintendo files trademark for "Diddy Kong" in Europe - Diddy Kong Racing 2 incoming?

So I've noticed this stuff while browsing the usual Nintendo groups:

It made me think about the various Diddy Kong Racing 2 rumours we've been hearing about, as well as the fact that Retro possibly has something to show at this E3. Personally I'm a bit disappointed since I wanted Retro to work on something new (or Metroid :P) this time around, but I guess they're sticking with Donkey Kong :/ Though I definitely wouldn't mind if Monster Games is doing the work on DKR2.

What do you guys think?

HE'S FINALLY HERE, AND ABOUT TIME TOO!



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Oh shitttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Maybe he´s just finally stepping out of the shadow of Donkey Kong a la Luigi with Mario



Maybe Monster Games is developing it? I just don't see Retro working on a DKR sequel!

If it is for wiiu, I will be so happy. 3ds, not so much.

It will be hilarious if it is retro's new game. The meltdowns will be something to savor. I'll be up for a diddy kong game.



A new Diddy Kong Racing would certainly catch my attention - especially if it's for the 3DS. It would make sense, too, since Mario Kart 7's release is quite distant at this point.
