According to our figures Diddy Kong Racing sold almost 5 million units (4.88m). It seems unbelievable that Nintendo the king of milking hasn't released a sequel (Diddy Kong Racing DS doesn't count) yet.


What?

are you serious?

Completely.

They still own it, but not RARE (former Nintendo 2nd Party made the likes of DK Racing, Goldeneye, DK Country 1-3 and Perfect Dark.  Some of them are now Crytek UK, but most are the new RARE, which are a Microsoft 1st party.

ok, I just thought I've read somewhere that they had a legal issue because of diddy kong, but good for nintendo, this name shure belongs to them and not on other platforms

Diddy Kong Racing is the greatest tragedy of this modern age, one of the most spectacular games of all time and it doesn't even get a sequel, a remake or a re-release. 

OP: Bully, it wasn't a mega hit, but it was critically acclaimed and it's sold around three million units (Chartz doesn't have the right data). It deserves a sequel, but because it didn't hit those high Rockstar sales standards, it was put aside so Rockstar could print money with GTA and Red Dead.

Luigi's Mansion, it's one of the greatest launch games of all time and it was of the best Gamecube games I had, played through it twice. So good. It also sold over 3.5 million units.

It got a DS version.

DS isn't a real console, it isn't worth the treads left behind Diddky Kongs cart. Car games on the DS bug me, using a D-Pad to steer is pre-historic. I'll look up Youtube videos, but I doubt it'll make me dust off my old DS.

Still needs a sequel though, I'd buy a 3DS or Wii without hesitation if Diddy Kong Racing 2 was being developed.

I love using D-Pad in Racing Games.

Actually, Yamauchi Kazunori also prefers to play with D-Pad(when not on a wheel)
