Anyone who believes that's a kiddy game that gamers can live without simply hasn't played the sheer excellence that diddy kong racing was.The big overworld,the secrets,the three different kind of vehicles,the right amount of challenge.The detail and work put on this title was and still is staggering.Miles above Mario Kart 64.

Wii U already has Mario Kart 8 and Sonic Racing Transformed. Another addition to the stable would be a waste of manpower that could have gone towards filling a niche that's not already full.


It seems that you are one of those people I talk about.A new diddy kong racing waste of manpower?Go back and replay the game!If you still have doubts then we'll talk again.

I've played it plenty. It's good (besides the awful handling of the hovercrafts) but it's nothing Wii U needs now it already has MK8.

And Retro of all studios desperately needs something meatier to sink their teeth into.

sigh... yeah another kart racer is what we need. ffs. im going back to bed.

It's worth noting that the only mentions of karts in connection with this rumour have been references to Mario Kart and to the fact that one of the vehicles in the original DKR was a kart.

One thing that set DKR apart from Mario Kart 64, besides the single player story, was the fact that it had hovercrafts and planes. It's not implausible that they'll extend this further, and if karts even appear, they'll be just one of many vehicles.

"while I can’t confirm 100% it’s DKR2, I can confirm, perhaps well outside my comfort level, that they’re working on something for the WiiU that is pretty much talked about by everyone involved as the most exciting thing to be done on WiiU yet"

 

Definitely not Diddy Kong Racing 2 then.

Yay another racing game on a system in dire need of more racing games!  All that's left is a platformer and the Wii U wll have it all!

3 year development cycle for a party racer? I can't even understand how they worked so long on DKC: TF because that game was only 8 hours long at best and 2D.

And lol at that quote of "everyone on the Wii U is looking forward to this". No one is...

Here's a crazy idea Nintendo, how about you get Retro to work on:
(A) A game that gamers actually want
(B) A type of game Wii U doesn't already have
and (C) Something with a little AMBITION.
