              It's cool, but I am not sure if this is a feature people would go APE-SHIT over.

Maybe all the hate towards dk is because it isn't metroid!

          Well, my argument against the people that say that is the following: How many copies of DKCR were sold? 6 million. How many copies of MP1 were sold? 2.8 million. MP2 and MP3 combined  sold around 3 million.
            You see where I am going? Nintendo needs to put out the games that  are gonna sell. That's why they are making Super Mario 3D World. Because 3D Land sold really well and the cat gimmick can make people buy this game. Metroid is coming.... After the Wii U will have a higher installed base.

Yeah, I bet if they slapped Metroid over this engine people would be hyped.

"A HD Metroid, true 2D side-scroller with extremely well level design and an awesome new camera which allows for 3D levels while you actually still move in the 2D plane. So awesome. The camera LIERALLY is a game-changer. Retro have outdone themselves yet again!1!11!!"

That's about the reception this game probably would have gotten.

I was thinking more in line with the metroid prime series.

0.o is that for real?

Hahaha if making fur raises dev cost I can't imagine what a photo-realistic game cost to make.

         Every company is. Besides, Donkey Kong appeals to a higher market than Metroid, so Nintendo  is in fact, pleasing consumers. By making Metroid, not only that they would make less money, but they would also appeal to less people.

DK's fur also looks like this in Mario&Sonic: Winter Games and SSB4 on the WiiU. I think they'll just re-use the model throughout all games DK appears in, which should make the costs bearable

I wouldn't say lazy, just uninspired.

Can't. Someone sat on it and now my bridge in pieces.
