Rumours Donkey Kong Country Returns is in development are true

NINTENDO: Retro Studios making new Donkey Kong

See, sometimes we do get it right – Nintendo has for the first time shown footage of a brand new Donkey Kong title at its E3 presentation in LA.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is being developed by Retro Studios, the developer that made its names with three highly successful new entries in the Metroid series.

It’s the first game in the DKC series since Rare’s successful SNES trilogy and is a natural fit both for Wii’s casual audience and Nitnendo’s devoted fanbase.

It’s due out some time this Q4.
