The Ranting Robots share their rumor regarding “Diddy Kong Racing 2″ for the Wii U.
Rice Digital:
It feels like just yesterday that I was excitedly sitting through Nintendo’s Robot Chicken conference, and now we’ve just had a video with lots of new information about this year’s E3. For me, it’s probably the most exciting time to be a gamer. As such, I’ve been thinking a lot about what we might see this year, so here’s a list of things I think we might see and some things we may not see, but it would be nice if we did.
Agreed. I feel that Xenoblade Chronicles X should be just the beginning of a new wave of JRPG's for the Wii U.
My worry with Nintendo is they announce a lot of great things,but I worry when they are coming. I have considered a Wii U,but will wait til the majors are out and it is cheaper. There is no rush for me to get the console yet. Although I hear great things.
Dream Games:
Metroid
Zelda
Star Fox
Mario Party by old creators
POKEMON SNAP!
I understand waiting for more big hits but as far as cheaper goes yea that might not happen lol Nintendo tends to keep their games priced high for a long...long time unless u were talking about the console which is 225 on their online store with Nintendo land(refurbished tho)
I was generally talking console,but again there is just no rush for me to get the console. Many of the worlds Nintendo creates I don't miss. Just me personally. Really do wish they were doing Luigi's Mansion 2 with tablet though.
Yea I feel the tablet still hasn't been put to its full potential yet..pokemon snapU would be goat for that situation
Did they ever put a date on the 90's racer yet. I will buy a wii u day one for that game
Don't know what racer you are talking about. That is part of my issue. Games are announced then we don't hear about them for a while
Game informer just did a big write up on it a few days ago. and if you go on youtube and type in the 90's racer for wii u some new game play footage will come up. if you are a fan of sega arcade games like Daytona and super sega gt then check it out looks really fun
I hope Nintendo ditch the wii brand and return back as a proper home console maker.
a next gen system with third party support with Nintendo exclusives can't fail.
The third party games have to be something other than off-hand ports with missing content.
We've seen what third parties do for ports. Wii U's first year was full of them.
Never again.
Good exclusives or equal content multiplats.
Nothing less will have even the smallest chance of selling.
Imo another viable option would be to drop homeconsoles alltogehter and just create a NintendoOS, which runs on PCs and Steamboxes.
The consumer would have the option to put NintendoOS, SteamOS and Win10 on his machine. So no thirdparty issues anymore for Ninty and the consumer has a good amount of options to choice from.
Hardware design and production staff could focus on VR-Sets with awesome controllers. Nintendo is big enough to make these at a fair price and is one of the few who could get the controllers right.
May sound farfetched, but is actually solving a lot of problems for Nintendo. They could create a Steamlike infrastructure for the Asianmarket and their exclusives. All the thirdparty support is infused over Steam or Win. And they can focus on creating games for these machines, their handhelds and the mobile market.
uhhh... lil too soon buddy. A new Nintendo system will be announced either next year or the year after that. More than likely we will get our first peeks next year and in 2017 we may have a new one.
This year we will see many reasons why to own the system. Expect a better look at LOZ, It's gonna be the games. Lots of games for Wii U / 3ds. This is when all the games started late in the console release will begin seeing the light of day.
Though in this article. No to diddy kong racing dlc, Yes to a better online battle mode where you can select many if not all of the past online battle courses.
Nintendo shoud partner with Nvdia on their next console and call it the Nintendo GTX. Use steam OS and partner with valve. Get steam on Nintendo console.
This is so amazingly off topic.... nice what-if I guess. They would make a good pair. HL3 CONFIRMED>
From GamesReviews:
"Last week, rumors surfaced on the Internet from industry insider Kevin Callahan that Diddy Kong Racing 2 was a real thing, and that it was currently in development for the Nintendo Wii U.
"There are a few questions which need to be answered: do we need a Diddy Kong Racing sequel, and how can it be successful?"
I also would love a Diddy Kong Racing, or as I've said before, Mario Kart would work great as a spiritual successor. After Mario Kart 8 what can they do anyways? They already did antigravity, so I would love it if they just skin Diddy Kong Racing as Mario Kart and make it.
Also how awesome would it be to have Diddy Kong Racing tracks with antigravity, and classic Mario Kart tracks redesigned with Planes and Hovers in mind.
I don't know, but for me it makes sense and I think it would be awesome.
The sequel they had planed for GameCube before MS bought Rare,had you racing on the back's on animals like the rhino and ostrich from DK Country.So I hope it's that.If you Google it you will find pic's and maybe even some video.
What I really enjoyed about DKR was the single player because you weren't just racing the whole time. You had a hub world where you had different tasks to do as well as the racing. So yes I think a sequel would be great!
I would love to see a DKR2. It was such a fun game and I really enjoyed the adventure mode which although basic added to it. It's one of the main reason why I like it better than Mario Kart. I also enjoyed the different vehicles and the music was awesome! The Dino challenges, silver coins, WizPig, it was all great.
I really do hope this rumor has substance to it cause I'd be first in line to buy Diddy Kong Racing 2.
Let me be clear, if it's not made or supervised by Retro in any kind of way, then I don't have any problem with the development of a sequel.
Retro should, at the very least, make another 3D Donkey Kong game, a racing game is not ambicious enough for me, even if DKR was very special because you could do more than just racing.
It's a good idea because so far we've only had one Kart game per gen by Nintendo and that's been Mario Kart. Cyling between Diddy Kong and Mario Kart will give us more Kart racing goodness.
Only thing they have to worry about is how they separate the titles to make them feel completely different from each other.
According to a rumor, coming from Kevin Callahan, a 3D artist who has worked in both in television and the video game industry. A sequel to the N64′s Diddy Kong Racing is in development for the Wii U.
As long as it has the death stares. God Luigi gives the dirtiest looks when he passes people. We need more subtle, funny things like this cleverly implemented. Lol nah regardless, I loved the first DKR.
If this is true I would be so happy! I loved DKR and every now and then I bust out the 64 and play it!
I might be in the minority but I feel that DKR was a better kart racer than Mario Kart 64!
Maybe it was because it had an adventure mode with a little story to it, and it helped it didn't have stupid rubberband AI! Man so many good memories about that game.
Freaking WizPig, Taj the Genie, racing the dinosaur guardians, the music! Fun times indeed!
The graphics were very advanced for the time!! The music from Hot Top volcano haunts me to this day!!! Now all we need is a "good" Perfect Dark!!!!!!
I don't see why they would, tbh. The counter to Mario Kart was DKR had flying and hover crafts. Now that MK has flying and underwater sections DKR would need a lot of changes to be different, especially since none of the characters are relevant (the original had Banjo who is owned by MS)
Would rather have F-Zero. No other mainstream racer is like it.
While I actually do agree with you, there is mention of completely rebooting the franchise. Who knows, maybe they have some funky ideas up their sleeve?
and Conker who was a hell of alot nicer back then. In Mario Kart 8 you float not fly!!!!!
Diddy Racing 2 !
Terrible idea. If they release another racing game featuring a Nintendo or Sega character it would not be as good as Sonic all stars or Mario Kart 8 and or it would use gaming ideas and innovations that could be kept for the next Sonic or Mario racing game. It would be diluting the toonish racing genre which everyone is already perfectly fine with. I do not like this idea and think it would be a waste of resources when those resources could be applied to either a New IP or making a really good sequel. Is this game really going to bring anything new or unseen to this genre? NO because these characters are in Mario Kart already.
I had so much fun with Diddy Kong Racing when I was a kid. But oh man, the Adventure Mode was difficult! I can't even remember if I completed it.
If they can make a sequel as good as the original, bring it on!
Omg yes! Grew up on the original! Remember running over the frog dressed as a chicken to unlock drumstick! Oops spoilers! :P
