"After playing Donkey Kong Country Returns, I had a craving to go back in time and experience the game that started it all. Proud of the fact that I had completed what I considered to be a fairly challenging game, I thought playing the original Donkey Kong Country would be a cakewalk.
Of course, I was wrong. The margin for error in Donkey Kong Country was much smaller than I remembered. That, or I’m getting old and losing my touch with platformers."

Screen Rant Writes "It's been almost a decade since players have seen a new Donkey Kong Country game, but with the opening of Super Nintendo World, now is the perfect time to release a new DKC game. The last entry was 2014's Tropical Freeze (a slightly enhanced version was re-released for the Switch in 2018), which received rave reviews and between its Wii U and Switch sales, performed very well. The original Donkey Kong Country also spotlighted environmental themes, which would prove to be just as salient if a new entry were to release in the coming years."
Mario Kart will probably be the same rehashed gameplay minus Mission Mode again.
We need a new Diddy Kong Racing.
No its a perfect time for another 3D Donkey Kong. I dont want 2D anything.
I'm halfway agreeing with you on that, lol... 2D is still a fantastic route for Donkey Kong Country to go with. Yet, I still love Donkey Kong 64 to this day, and play it through every so often. I absolutely want a new 3D Donkey Kong game in a similar style. Loved going back through levels with different characters that had unique gameplay aspects. A sequel to DK64 would be the perfect announcement, in my opinion.
I always think about a possible 3D Donkey Kong game, but nothing like DK64, more of a faster paced linear platforming game. Less focus on collectibles, and more focusing on fast platforming action. That'd be amazing for me.
We need more 3D stuff, the side scrollers start to all blend together eventually. The last Kirby game was great and refreshing because they moved to 3D.

The Donkey Kong Country series was last seen in 2014. With the advent of the Nintendo Switch, it's time for a return to the spotlight.
Donkey Kong needs to go 3D, he's too restricted to what he can do in 2D. Hope Nintendo do for Donkey Kong what they're doing for Kirby.
@Xblade
Yeah, I definitely agree there. DK64 was my first ever home console game.
@disagrees
What the heck are you guys disagreeing with? Did Donkey Kong 64 not exist to you guys?
Release HD Remakes of Donkey Kong Country 1-3 and a Remake of the classic Donkey Kong as well.
I loved the Donkey Kong games and Tropical Freeze is brilliant. I would certainly like to see a new game this year.
