Different time, different expectations. This isn't the 1990s, one cartoon kart racer is enough. People want something more ambitious from their new HD console.

The time has nothing to do with it. People wanted ambitious games even more back then. It was the dawn of 3D. Expectations were through the roof. One kart racer doesn't have to be enough. There is absolutely room for two kart racers. That's like saying there's no room for two fighting games. People want something "more ambitious."

3D was new back then, so even a Kart racer could be ambitious. But times have changed. Unless it's Mario Kart, gamers don't care about Kart racers any more.

DKR2 would be a flop just like Tropical Freeze. It's a game only a small minority of nostalgic fans want. The average gamer will sneer at it.
