Thats over 3 years between each game. |
To be fair, DK TP was finished by october 2013. Nintendo pushed it back to pad out their early 2014 lineup.
So technically that's less than 3 years between DKC Returns and DKC TP. They've been unaccounted for for nearly four years now, with not so much as a hint as to what they are working on.
And usually while deveopment for a game is wrapping up, a small core team is already working concepts and prototypes for the next game, so that develpment can start immediately. We also had all those reports of Retro hiring and splitting into two teams, so it's really wierd that we havent heard about anything they've been worknig on.
My guess is that they probably started developement for whatever they're working on on the WiiU and that it got pushed on the Switch at some point, so development would take a little longer. I really exected them to show something Retro this E3 though. Since they didn't I'm thinking their next game might be a Holyday 2018 title, wich would mark a five-year development span.
