how could you?
I was sure this was going to be either a rumour or real, but not this

nah retro should just do the engine for the new zelda so it can look as good as metroid prime 3

You should seriously get banned for that thread title, because you even admitted yourself in the opening post that you very well knew it was misleading.

This made me cry. I want DKC4

I think it will never happen and that makes me a sad panda.

I'm adding the OP to my little black book...

I hate you.

But if after E3 this becomes true, I'll love you.

Agh... Damn it! Damn the misleading title! This made me remember why I f***ing HATE April Fool's Day!  Even a rumor from the most unreliable source in the world would've been fine with me, but this... Just left a big empty feeling in my chest. 

Well, I suppose now that I'm here I might as well answer your question... Obviously, it'd be awesome, but I believe Retro Studios to be working either on a completely new IP, or another Nintendo classic franchise... But I just can't see Donkey Kong being the one. For some reason I could imagine Intelligent Systems making a new Donkey Kong Country game, for the Wii or the DS.

Either way, kudos for ruining many people's day. Could someone change the title, please? (If it's possible...)

I just died a little inside...

locking for obvious reasons. You can make a new thread with a better title.
