Hmm... Monster Games developed Pilot Wings Resort very recently, so I wouldn't be too surprised if this rumor turned out to be true.

If true, this is an excellent move by Nintendo. Instead of releasing two Mario Kart games per console this generation, they can release two kart racers of different series. The DS remake was a million seller, so with actual advertisement support this game should sell really well.


*holds thumbs*

I have no intentions of buying a Wii U anytime soon.....but if a Diddy Kong Racing 2 is coming out on Wii U?

I might have to call my brothers up and strap on the driving gloves to face Wizpig once more. DKR is not a system-seller, but it is a very strong B+ title, and arguably the best arcade racer since Mario Kart.

Conker and Banjo were the only characters owned by Rare, which is why they were already absent in Diddy Kong Racing DS. They shouldn't have any problems.

Can you tell me which console had two Mario Karts? 1 for SNES, 1 for N64, 1 for GCN, 1 for GBA, 1 for Wii, 1 for NDS, 1 for 3DS. Did I miss any?

I never said anything about a previous console ever having two Mario Kart titles. I just said that adding Diddy Kong Racing is an alternative to making two Mario Kart games for the Wii U/3DS.

Not similar at all. DKR on N64 and DS is more like Mario Kart for 3DS.

This series was my Mario Kart...

Not sure why Nintendo would make it instead of Mario Kart though, especially if they can't include Banjo or Conker.

i didn't know that, i hope this rumour is true, DKR and SM64 were my first N64 games when i bought them back in 1997

Hm, can't see it happening. Especially considering Nintendo will most likely release Mario Kart WiiU in 2013.

Mario Kart Wii was released in 2008.
So there`s a chance the game gets released next year and Mario Kart in early 2014.

If it`s anything like the N64 version, i`m in!
