Nintendo has to think about survival at this point. They can't just make whatever they want any more, if they want to stay in the home console market they need to focus on making games that move hardware.

DKR2 will not move a significant amount of hardware, just like Tropical Freeze didn't, because they both appeal to an audience that Nintendo already has on lockdown. They need to concentrate on capturing new gamers, or over time their fanbase will wither away.

 

Metroid sales are usually lower than DK's.

It's not just about  software sales, it's also about hardware sales. A quality HD Metroid would have moved more systems than Tropical Freeze. (OR DKR2)

That's true. Cant argue with Metroid moving more than TF. Unsure about DKR2 since we have no way of knowing, honestly.

There is no need for Diddy kong Racing when Mario Kart 8 just released.

Nintendo would entirely miss the point and would waste an enormous amount of time and money on a pointless move if that happen. They should use their ressources towards developping other games.

Agreed 

Much rather have Retro be focusing completely on Metroid

If we are talking about sales, Metroid may be a even bigger waste of ressources, eventough it would please lot of fans.

Considering we just had MK8 released a few weeks ago, it seems like an awful waste for Retro to be used to make another kart racing game. I hope this isn't true, and that Retro's talents are used for something more worthwhile. Another Metroid game would be great, but if they were to work on a racing game, I'd rather see F-Zero than DK Racing.

Like I said before, Retro is probably just providing the assets, because they don't seem to be suited for a DKR sequel!

I am postive Metroid would sell better then Diddy Kong Racing, seriously we already have Mario kart 8, but have no dark, fps adventure
