As much as I love the DKC games, I must say I am excited as hell to see DK come home to Nintendo EPD and to see the franchise make a fresh comeback.

Turning over a new leaf takes nothing away from the games we already have, and sometimes a reinvention is exactly what's needed for a series to explode like never before.

It's a mixed bag. One day it gives you Donkey Kong Bananza or Breath of The Wild, next day it gives you Star Fox Zero.

I wouldn't really call Starfox Zero a reinvention, if anything in a lot of ways it was too much of a retread of Starfox SNES/64, being essentially a remake with gimmicky controls.

I would say most of Nintendo's reinventions have been for the better; Metroid Prime, BOTW, Mario 64, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Yoshi's Island...
