Well I hope this rumor is as baseless, wii u doesn't need another kart racer now or any time in the near--or, quite frankly, distant--future. Especially if it would mean it's the only game retro are working on at current.

It doesn't, if the Kevin Callahan rumor is legit:

"Diddy Kong Racing 2 is a collaboration between Monster Games and Retro Studios with Kensuke Tanabe as the producer. Monster Games is also working on another side (small) project that isn’t related to Diddy Kong Racing 2.  Retro Studios is working on a separate main project of their own as well."

OT:  If the rumor link is true, this game has been a long time coming, guys.  It doesn't mean that Retro couldn't be working on something as ambitious as Prime 4 for a while now, as they're likely just making contributions to DKR as opposed to being the main team on it.  Just having received Mario Kart I can understand some people not being excited over this, but if it is indeed true let's at least see how the game is coming along before condemning its existence.  If it's anything like DKR on N64 was, it could be truly great.
