I don't think Nintendo has interest in making an Uncharted/Halo style game. And certainly wouldn't give that kind of a budget to a Western studio over a Japanese one.

A good Diddy Kong Racing game is an easy million seller for them and guaranteed profit.

I liked the N64 game anyway, so I'd be happy with it being brought back.

Half of Nintendo's franchise stable is redundant anyway. Do you need Yoshi, DK, and Kirby platformers when you already have Mario? Do you need two Mario RPG series'? Do you need Mario Party and Wii Party and now Animal Crossing Amiibo party? etc. etc. Seeing as how there's really only one new Mario Kart per generation per platform, Diddy Kong Racing could easily move in and become a bankable franchise for them. 


I'd rather Retro make a DKR game. I thought the original was better than MK64, and I'd love for Retro specifically to bring that franchise back, but I think Nintendo has a really good opportunity with Retro to appeal to a market they know they're weak in appealing to. I think they'd absolutely give that kind of budget to Retro.

I'm not saying Nintendo's franchises aren't redundantly appealing. You're completely and perhaps deliberately misinterpreting the context surrounding my use of that word for the sake of creating an argument, Soundwave. Again, that entire last paragraph is completely irrelevant to the point I was making. To the point where I actively agree with all of it.
