Anyone who believes that's a kiddy game that gamers can live without simply hasn't played the sheer excellence that diddy kong racing was.The big overworld,the secrets,the three different kind of vehicles,the right amount of challenge.The detail and work put on this title was and still is staggering.Miles above Mario Kart 64.

Wii U already has Mario Kart 8 and Sonic Racing Transformed. Another addition to the stable would be a waste of manpower that could have gone towards filling a niche that's not already full.

Mario Kart sells more than 10 million copies each iteration (on competitive consoles), I wouldn't call that a niche.

Anyway I'd like Retro to do something else as well, but going by your logic I would be much more pissed because of Yoshi Wolly World and Kirby Rainbow Course, THAT is a waste of manpower. We already have 2 flavours of Mario, Donkey, Rayman plus indie games plus Mario Maker and Toad are in development as well, does the WiiU really need more platformers?
