Apparently in early 2016, Nintendo partnered with Vicarious Visions to prototype a new 3D DK game that had the core gameplay premise of Sonic with the animated Tarzan movie. You're in a jungle, and you're grinding on vines and it's all about gaining speed momentum and zipping around the jungle. Nintendo loved what Vicarious was working on but after the recent Skylanders failure to reach sales targets at the time, ABK pulled the plug......and we know how the rest of Vicarious Visions history played out.
Another what could've been. Hopefully if Nintendo loved the prototype so much, they moved it to another studio.
The reporting was from DidYouKnowGaming. I'll link the hour long video as well.
