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

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?
