But what's interesting about them is that ever since they finished Metroid Prime 3, they've been working on a (secret) game that has yet to be revealed. Last E3, they told that they were deep in a new project, and according to IGN, this game would be... a Donkey Kong game! After the awesome bounty hunter Samus Aran, it would be dear ol' DK's turn to be revived by Retro Studios. It's still a rumour, but that one is probably one of the most credible we've seen recently. So... we'll have to wait a few more hours for Nintendo's E3 conference, and see whether that rumour was true...
***
Personal thoughts: if it'd be true, I have to admit I'd be really disappointed... not only because I'm not really a fan of DK, but most of all, because I was expecting a brand new IP from them (maybe that game they were supposedly working along with Metroid Prime, but I don't know much about it... Raven Blade it was called. It was cancelled.).
Anyway, even if they were working on a DK game, I'd be sure to check it out nonetheless... being a huge fan of them (I mean, Retro Studios :p)!

The DKC trilogy is nothing special IMO, and DK64 is collecting: the game.
However, Retro Studios is a great company so I'll check it out.

I'm be interested to see just what they'd do with it though.

That hits the nail on the head.
If this rumor does turn out to be true, Retro will certainly have much lower expectations to meet than they did with Metroid Prime. There hasn't been a great Donkey Kong game since the original SNES trilogy (just my opinion, of course), so anything halfway decent at this point will have a lot of us in ecstasy.

Seconded. But all I'm saying is if it turns out to be 'Donkey Konga who-cares what number,' or something, I'm going to eat my Wii.

Retro would not be Retro if they did such a terrible thing as that. They would be Nintendo.

True, but remember, if they give us anything that even REMOTELY resembles DKC, the fanbase will eat it up, even if it's crao. (Which I don't think will happen) Besides, when was the last time Donkey Kong was actually in a tolerable game? That was not Smash Bros., I mean.

I agree completely. All I meant to say was that it would not be hard for them to impress, considering the recent track record.
They don't :c

Just one more day for Nintendo's conference woop. Microsoft's sucked big time, and Sony's won't be that big, I'm certain, so Ninty will not win, ROCK this show: Zelda Wii and 3DS alone do it, but there's also the surprise announcements that will most probably include games like Layton 3, maybe a new StarFox or F-Zero, the postponed Kirby Wii, and (please God) Super Punch-Out!! Wii.

Yep, because I had originally written
the them directly referring to the DK games... which is not what I wanted to say. I'm a huge fan of Retro Studios (I'm currently savouring every second of Metroid Prime 2), not of DK games. Thanks for poiting out that contradiction :)
And dunno why, but watching that trailer just got me psyched for that game... though I'll wait for reviews and such, as I'm not too fond of platformers. But we'll see :)

The only thing that is bugging me about this is that the Kremlings seem to be missing...
Anyway, I soooo can't wait for this to be released.
