wanna bet ?

Soooo, do you really think Retro's next game won't launch before the end of 2017? No, just no. It will clearly launch before the end of 2017. So, there's only the Wii U where it could be launched on. 

It took Retro more than three years after DKCR to release Tropical Freeze, and that was a fairly simple 2D platformer without advanced graphics.

Their latest project hasn't even been announced yet, and there is no guarantee NX is a 2017 thing, it could arrive this year.

The odds of their new game being a Wii U title are slim.

First, I think Tropical Freeze was finished way earlier. Nintendo said they delayed it to February 2014 to enhance the gaming experience but I think they delayed it to fill the Spring until Mario Kart arrived. So, I think it took them almost exactly 3 years.

Second, they have worked on Mario Kart 7 with EAD in between.

Third, it took them some time to collect Wii U experience. Now they are experienced and could develop a Wii U game faster.

Fourth, if it's a DK game: the assets and engine is now already on Wii U.

Fifth, they started working on a new game in late 2013. By that time it was definitely a Wii U game (or 3DS game).

Sixth, everything points to 2017 launch of NX.
