I think the fact that he said not to read into his tweet sorta means its not Donkey Kong. He's just teasing us with the Banana and ape remarks. I've been waiting for Donkey Kong to make an appearance since DKWii was announced at TGS 2005. But fact is that the game was likely cancelled since we never heard about it again.
Would Retro do an amzing job with a platformer? I don't know so far they have only really shown us an FPS. If I recall their other cancelled products, Football , Raven Blade etc...etc.. were not platformers either. Though I wouldn't be too suprised if Nintendo handed the Donkey Kong liscense to Retro since they seem to be Nintendo's new Rare.
To be honest I would much rather see Sora do the next Donkey Kong I thought alot of Brawl's platforming fit the Donkey Kong gameplay perfectly.
Either way i will go ape shit if Donkey Kong is revealed. Other then Pikmin the DK franchise is my favorite Nintendo property!
