Donkey Kong Country 4? Rare says Wii Virtual Console sequel development possible

supadupagama September 2nd, 2007 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Donkey Kong Country 3 on GameBoy Advance (DS)Developer Rare answers fan questions on their Rareware site once a month. This time they bring good news for Nintendo fans who like Donkey Kong Country (DKC).

The first question asks if we’ll see non-Donkey Kong Rare games, like Banjo-Kazooie and Perfect Dark, on the Wii’s Virtual Console (VC)? Rare’s answer: “As for VC, it’s ultimately Nintendo’s decision what gets released. Beyond the [three] DKC games we don’t have anything in the pipeline at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen in future.”

Good to know Rare or Microsoft don’t have any issues with their games appearing on Nintendo’s Virtual Console. But putting aside the fact that Microsoft has a similar online download service for old and new games (Xbox Live Arcade), will Nintendo ask for these Virtual Console games?

The second question asks Rare about the possibility of a new “real” Donkey Kong game developed by them (referencing a 2D sequel). Rare’s answer: “Apart from make a new Banjo game and a REAL Donkey Kong game, whatever that is – and as we’ve already said, the former we’re already doing [Banjo-Kazooie on Xbox 360], while the latter [Donkey Kong Country 4] is not so likely unless Nintendo specifically request it.”

We referenced a 2D Donkey Kong Country 4 (SNES/Virtual Console) sequel, because the 3D Donkey Kong 64 (N64) was not received well by fans of the Donkey Kong series.

    A DKC trilogy cart for the DS would be a nostalgic joy, but I would definitely go ape over an actual DKC4 for the DS (DKC DS). Please, Nintendo, make it happen.

    @Joe
    A DKC4 to a hand held system??? No way.

    It’d need to be on a console for sure. It’d be a sin to stare at an amazing with with such a puny screen.

    I would actually buy a nintendo wii just to play DKC4. granted that it’s 2d like the others and the music is composed by David wise.

    the donkey kong levels in Super Smash bro Brawl are a perfect example of how DKC4 should be.

    if they do make a DKC4 then they should have donkey kong and diddy kong as the two main characters they messed up with DKC3 because diddy and donkey kong werent even playable characters.

    I say a great story after DKC 3 would be like after 5 Years K.Rool failed at the banana birds he would capture Dixie Kong just to Lure Donkey and Diddy to his trap.The main plot should be in the Southern Kremsphere.(Since the northen kremsphere became northen kongasphere)You know something in that line….
