Nintendo has hinted at a new Donkey Kong game for Nintendo Switch

This year has been a great year for classic Nintendo fans as we saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild in March and now Super Mario Odyssey recently. Both of these have received incredible praise and now it appears we might see another classic Nintendo series come to the Nintendo Switch, Donkey Kong.
Reggie Fils-Aime was interviewed recently by Time Magazine about the release of Super Mario Odyssey, where he discussed how they looked to essentially reinvent both the Legend of Zelda and Mario franchise with these two games. He says how their goal is to have people left with the feeling that they’ve never done such things in that franchise before. What came after seemed to hint at a possible unannounced game, Donkey Kong.
“Whether it’s with a Metroid experience or a Donkey Kong experience, we’re constantly looking to push the envelope on the IP versus doing sequential small iterations with a particular franchise.”
We all know that Metroid Prime 4 is coming and for a while we have yet to hear about a new Donkey Kong game. With Retro Studios not working on Metroid Prime 4, perhaps they could be working on their next follow-up to Tropical Freeze. With how well Super Mario Odyssey has been received, perhaps we’ll finally get another attempt at a 3D Donkey Kong game with a real sequel to DK64.
Hopefully within the next few months Nintendo talks more about Donkey Kong.
