Yes, and if something happens to MS like if the studio gets bought out or something, the series is stuck again looking for a dev which may take years. again.
If Mercury Steam keeps putting out banger Metroid games then Nintendo will buy them if they're at risk of getting bought by someone else like they did with Next Level games.
They let Rare get bought and let Alpha Dream die because they lost all the talent they originally had and were only putting out trash.
He's right though, it doesn't have a "dedicated studio" within Nintendo anymore. The team that made 2D Metroid, Wario Land, and Kid Icarus got dissolved and put on different business projects for the company which is why all those franchises went on ice until outside studios (Good Feel with WL: Shake It and Mercury Steam with Metroid Dread) pitched ideas and got approved.
DK has actually been in the exact same boat since Rare left.
Wrong. DK was bigger than Zelda and on par with Mario in popularity until Rareware left. After that, Nintendo gave up on the series by relegating it to gimmicky spinoffs.
It's over. Nintendo hates Donkey Kong after retro exposed the Mario team as hacks when tropical Freeze mogged the NSMB games
You'll have to wait until the Switch successor. Retro is currently stuck in development hell with Prime 4.
Metroid and DK need a dedicated studio to handle these franchises, going so many years between releases destroys any momentum they get.
Metroid just got a game two years ago

I haven't beaten DKC
I haven't played DKC2 or 3
I put 20 minutes into Returns 3D
My Tropical Freeze is unopened and still sealed
unless the next DK game is 3D like DK64, then send it back to the cook
At least play 2 and Freeze
ok
Honestly my favorite game of all time as of now
homosexual
Delusional
Gamers don’t deserve a game this good. Let it be forgotten and enjoyed only by patricians.
Hes not marketable. Nobody likes this stupid ape. Mario and Link have more mainstream appeal
>Hes not marketable
I think he and his supporting cast definitely are
Why does cranky's mouth look like it's sewed shut.
They make a lot of games with less marketable characters than Donkey Kong who reliably sells millions with a mainstream game.

I downloaded this not knowing anything about donoey kong and I started to play. Fricking masterpiece, especially controls, level design and music
Good for you anon. I can’t help but die inside when people just compare this with the SNES games.
I should say that I also finished bobopolis althought it tooks me a 4 painful hours, I still need to unlock 7 "world"
God I love donkey kong
Its still the best platformer ever made
monke
Retro is working on Metroid now.
this game mogs the shit out of every mario game made in the past decade
i dont know how they would top TF.
Dinosaurs would be a great enemy race for a third game, no?
>Diddy's girlfriend is holding onto DK's strong, manly arm
How is this okay?
Frick, we had it so good 10 years ago, 2D platformer bros.
People love to compare Country games but where does THIS game fall in the rankings?
They assembled a new team and developed new assets working on SMRPG remake. If it performs well DK will be in SMRPG2.
it's been over 9 years, anon
