Not my vision but I do like what I see. Another 3D character action game by Nintendo is always a good thing. Hopefully we see a few classic characters in there. If this does well I imagine this is what we can expect from DK going forward. This is the Mario Galaxy/Jungle Beat team through and through.

I hope we see Diddy, Dixie and Cranky in here but at the moment it's not looking likely at all. However we've seen so little so who knows? My real question is that if those characters do get to be playable in a game like this, do their character designs lend themselves to this smash and bash gameplay?

Diddy and Dixie are far smaller than DK with much smaller arms. It is probably a nothing issue as Diddy's Pop Guns and Dixie's hair provide the necessary destructive muscle in Retro's titles. Still I can't help but wonder if their character designs wouldn't fit to well with this gameplay.

Maybe the Treehouse will give us answers.

Huh... Now that I think about it, King K Rool's body type would fit with this gameplay pretty well. But no way.

Or way?

Wow the rumors from years ago was true after all.  It literally said Nintendo wants Donkey Kong to be a bigger series again and a new game was being made by it's internal Japanese studios, and it was heavily hinted at being Tokyo EAD who was doing it.

Damn, this game just looks incredible.  Can't wait to see the kind of things Toyko EAD is able since this isn't a Mario game and I'm sure they have a lot of idea's over the years of things they weren't allowed to put in a Mario game, but now can go wild with.  Just looking at how frantic and crazy the action is, shows they were having a blast with the development of this game.  You can see that Jungle Beat energy of anything goes in this, except now in a 3D environment with more time and budget devoted to it.
