"Best Retro Revival
NP: Donkey Kong Country Returns
Readers: Donkey Kong Country Returns"
Why is Donkey Kong considered "Retro" (aka old game)? FPS are really old too, and I don't see anyone calling Black Ops "retro". Ditto for racing games such as Gran Turismo 5, or Puzzle games. Puzzle games are extremmely old (older 2d than platforming games by the way), yet no one calls them retro. It is almost offensive. When they need to have a separated category for the games that can't be considered true game of the today age, they call it "retro". Bullshit.

Err... because the franchise hadn't seen a true platform game of the franchise for some thirteen years? You are kind of missing the point. I bet Kid Icarus 3DS will win it next year.

Neither did GoldenEye. And I'm talking mroe about the gameplay style, not the franchises, in other words, this happened because the game is 2D. I would bet with you one thousand VGChartz points that if it was a Donkey Kong 64 sequel they wouldn't call it retro.
