If they make Diddy Kong Racing they need to ditch the 3 types of vehicle mechanic and make cars that have special animal transformations. It would make a lot more sense for the DK universe. Also give it a quirky story mode to set it apart from MK. And call it Donkey Kong Racing because fuck Diddy. Oh and the race cars would have a more natural/organic look (like a mine kart or bamboo race car).

Not that I think Retro is making DKR.


Absolutely not on both.

Moved to NX I imagine.

Alternatively they're working on 2 titles so development is a bit slower then usual but we'll see their next 2 games released a year apart

Agreed. Diddy Kong racing worked incredibly well as it was and still holds up. I'm glad rare didn't get a chance to make Donkey Kong racing like they planned

That's a disgusting comment. I can't handle it. Calling Diddy and not fucking Kong was a smart thing, and the 3 vehicles were awesome.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Play Sonic Racing Transformed if you want those 3 vehicles, I rather play an original and good game.

I do it on purpose. Still, flying sucks in any game.

So you're not being serious?

It's not too late to redeem yourself, Samus. We here at the Chartz are a forgiving people.

I'm being half serious, I'd like to see animal transformations in such a racer to set it apart from anything else. You could have 3 different types of animals: ground, aquatic and birds. A rhino, a giant wasp and a swordfish for example.

Yeah, I'm down with that. I don't think they need to be transformations though. Just make them vehicles modeled after those animals. Now you just have to admit that Diddy is objectively the best Kong, and all is forgiven.

I have so many ideas for a potential Diddy Kong Racing returns. One involves animal-like karts like you describe, and one has a cast of Nindie mascots and lower tier Nintendo characters, to replicate the frankly obcure cast of the original.

Diddy Kong and Krunch are a must, but then you could have Dillon, Qbby (Boxboy), Chibi-Robo, Mallo, The Sakura Samurai, etc for the Nintendo side. Then they could have characters like Shovel Knight, Shantae, Super Meat Boy, the Runner thing, a Clone from Stealth Inc. 2, etc. And of course Yooka and Laylee have to be there. It's only right. That would be especially great for their image because it make Nintendo out to be even more of an indie paradice. Creating the "Nindie" brand to describe indies on their platform is an absolute stroke of genious as it gives them a first party feel that's great for marketing and PR. Diddy Kong Racing Returns would be the next step in that. It would be like the Smash Bros. of Nindies.

Well... Actually, Runbow is the Smash Bros. of Nindies, but you get what I'm saying.
