Since RARE join up with microsoft, we didn't have a true sequel of DK country or DK 64.

Do you thing that the franchise is dead or just absent.

They could since Donkey Kong is their character and can do whatever they want with him.

The question is will they? Probably not. I don't expect to see another Diddy Kong Racing game either.

I'm sure they can.

I'm also almost equally sure that they won't.

No. Every game Nintendo have made sice DK64 with Donkey Kong has sucked. They also ruined Starfox with Assault.

I never really liked DK 64 that much, Banjo overshadowed it. I certainly think they are capable of continuing the franchise and making it great again, the question is, will they?

they're busy making mario and zelda games. They really should find a good third party to develop star fox and DK for them

I have no idea why they wouldn't,

financially, another kart style racing will sell at least 5 million, (if it's good, might sell 10 million), from Franchise view, it will bring another powerful mascot (already is, but it's nowhere as great as Mario) to the Nintendo console.

Donkey Kong Country > Banjo Kazooie > Donkey Kong 64

i really hope so. doubt it, because now it's been about 10 years since dk64. never hurts to hope though

Thats what happened with Star Fox Assault... Namco developed it, and I realllllllllllly tried to like that game I mean I put effort into it, I loved the style, the graphics were superb, but man did everything outside of the arwing parts blow, and even the arwing parts weren't as good as every star fox game that came before it.

For everyone that says the DK games have sucked since DK64 I've heard nothing but praise for jungle beat and I'm gonna pick that one up myself, a few people said it's similar to DKC since it is a side scrolling game, so I'm gonna check for myself.
