This has been around for some time recently and hasn't necessarily been debunked. The most interesting things is the studio involved with Excitetrucks that is in on this. Very interesting.

“I’m gonna have to finally come out and be “that guy” in this thread.
Never thought this would be something I could say, but I have a line of communication with Monster, and while I can’t confirm 100% it’s DKR2, I can confirm, perhaps well outside my comfort level, that they’re working on something for the WiiU that is pretty much talked about by everyone involved as the most exciting thing to be done on WiiU yet, and that they are certain it’s going to blow people away upon reveal. I genuinely wasn’t told details because while I may want to know, I don’t trust myself with that much knowledge, so it’s likely best they didn’t either.”

“More fuel to the fire; Nintendo might have bought Timber in Oct 2012?



The only thing that doesn't make sense is another kart racer, but it would still be epic. DKR was insanely good.

Never liked it, not with MK64 out there. Didn't see the point.

Only good thing that came from it was Conker.

And this is supposed to be DKR2? Really? I can think of a multiple things more exciting than that.

New Metroid.
New Mother.
New F Zero.
New Star Fox.
New Pokemon Snap.

A new Wii Sports? I seriously never understood the love this game got. My friends would try to force it in the 64 rotation and were met with death stares....then we'd play Perfect Dark.

When was the last time you played DKR64?

The game is terrible. It is the kmart version of Mario Kart.

I recommend never playing it again if you want to keep your favorable view of it.

I wouldn't disagree. But none of those appeal to the casual market.

The article also mentions Amiibo being a big driver and it makes sense in that way.

And we know a new Starfox is coming already. That's probably 2016 though.

I disagree. The production values are low, and the modes are SLIM. Slimmer than MKWii U, but the gameplay is still rock solid.

Granted it's a weird game with a bunch of no name characters.

I played it a few years back and I just remember the controls being horrible.

To each their own.
