I have to disagree with Johnny about the way DKC:TF looks. Its much better than DKCR for the Wii and hell I can see this just from the vdeos. I'm sure actually playing the game in person, the game will look even better.
I can't remember what Johnny wanted from Retro, it was either something new or another Metroid game, which I'm sure as hell happy that it wasn't another Metroid. All tastes aside, Metroid doesn't have near the selling power of the DKC games. Heck, DKCR sold more than all three Prime games worldwide. He's only talking the game down cause he didn't get what he wanted. I'm sure at some point during the Wii U's life that there will be a Metroid game developed. At this point though, Nintendo is going to develop what sells the most, not what makes a niche group happy. Just like I was very bummed by Super Mario 3D World, I wanted a really cool, new looking 3d Mario game, not a game in the same vein as Super Mario 3d Land. Unfortunately, 3d Mario games don't sell as well as te 2d games, so I guess Nintendo went with this type of Mario game. Hell, they probably would have went with another 2d Mario game, except they did that at launch for the Wii U. Though, unless Nintendo can sell more Wii U consoles, none of their games are going to sell as well compared to the way games sold on the Wii.
