"When I saw this one revealed I felt sad for all those who were hoping Retro was making something else, something more for them (such as the Metroid Prime series). I also felt that perhaps this is an effort to fill a release line-up because games such as Mario Kart 8 won’t be ready for this holiday season. But having played it I’m not sorry Retro is making a new Donkey Kong Country."
