Hello, I'm a friend of someone at Monster Games, and I felt Nintendo fans should know about their upcoming project. I do not work at Monster Games, but I have a pretty good connection with multiple employees there. Nintendo hired a bunch of people in Minnesota to join the team. They just hired two contract artists a week ago. Back in 2011, after Pilotwings Resort wrapped up, Nintendo offered Monster Games different ideas for future projects. Around June 2011, Monster Games began work on a Diddy Kong Racing sequel for the Wii U. Nintendo owns the rights to Diddy Kong and Diddy Kong Racing, and Monster Games specialty is in the racing genre. Dave Broske and Dave Pollatsek are the programming leads on the game, and the game design chief is John Schneider. Josh Defries is working on Environment design. Kodai Matsumoto is a superviser on the project. A guy named Mitch Ernst is another person working on the game. He's involved in user interface design with the Wii U controller's touchscreen. You can touch certain icons on the touchscreen to use power ups. There were some legal grey zones with characters like Tip Tup, Timber, Bumper, etc, and Nintendo was in talks with Microsoft/Rare to clear it up. Banjo and Conker won't be in the game. The sequel to Diddy Kong Racing is planned for a 2013 release for the Wii U, and it will be revealed sometime next year. There will be an adventure mode similar to the Nintendo 64 game, as well as online multiplayer. Miiverse will be implemented into the game, and you'll be able to race using your Mii's as well as other characters. |

No is doesn't. 7 should have been incredible with the 3DS's supposed power. Instead, it was a rushed out piece of a game just to boost sales. They could have at least left the game open for DLC or just rode it out until early this year. Pokemon White FC: 0346 8604 2225 PSN: phayro_rip |

Erm... I suppose this is likely enough... I'm not a huge fan of DKR, so it's no big deal to me if this is false. Still, I hope it does turn out to be true. I refuse to wish someone won't get a game they want badly. -Desert Wolf |
