I hope it's not going to be DK-related! I was disappointed 2 years ago when they announced Tropical Freeze, so you can already imagine how  a Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong announcement would make me feel!

You wouldn't be alone. Retro lost a lot of their reputation with Tropical Freeze, and they will lose yet more if this is Diddy Kong Racing or something similar. In one gen they could go from being a revered studio to being seen as just another second tier EAD team.

Which is definitely a huge shame. I'm not saying they need to work only on Metroid, but I would like to see Retro work on other Nintendo franchises ( other than DK and Metroid) and/or develop new IPs!

Yeah, people often misinterpret my misgivings about Nintendo's handling of Retro as "you're just bitter you didn't get Metroid in HD" but honestly, I'd much rather they make a new IP than Metroid.

And hell, if they did make Diddy Kong Racing, I'd likely buy it and enjoy it. But it would be an utterly idiotic thing to do in terms of their image and market appeal, in my opinion.
