I feel there is way to many 2d platformers right now. I have like no interest at all in DKCRTF. DKCR was not "long ago".
I would have liked a DK64 2 but with a bit more polish. Or just remake that N64 game and remove some of the collecting aspects.
Most platformers other than Mario are boring because you basically just jump. Mario hast that fresh feeling because of the power ups and that special level design (NSMB somwhat lacks that level design tho).
Man I miss the old days with SMW upwards kick. Doors in SMB3 or several "levels" of platforms in a stage (hidden platform in the clouds you wont see unless you try to go there) NSMB shows almost everything that exsits so there is no need to explore...
I am somwhat sorry for retro. I know it helps them get used to the system and its a game thats not that expensive to make (get a mediocre userbase with "easy to make games" and then put out the blockbusters when you have enough potential buyers) but its still some kind of waste imho.
They should have made their own IP.
