Yes, that's true. My fears with a new DKR would be the following:
- Who would develop it? DKCR and TF were developed by Retro, but I don't see them developing DKR2 (specially after all the backlash they received for not developing Metroid Prime 4 or a more adult IP). I think that DKR2 would need a big budget and a competent studio behind it to succeed.
- Which characters would appear? I know that most DKR characters were completely new (and probably not very charismatic, although I loved most of them), but I think that it would be strange if all DKR2 characters wouldn't have appeared in the first one.
- Would it be succesful? DKR appeared when 3D platformers were in its peak of popularity, so mixing them with a racing arcade game was great. Nowadays 3D platformers have almost disappeared, and racing games seem to focus more on the online multiplayer. I know that 3D platformers may be experiecing a resurgence, but we still don't know how big it'll be.
Anyway, if Nintendo decides to create a new DKR and it's well made, it could be really wonderful and I'd be really hyped.
