New Donkey Kong Game Possibly Confirmed By Nintendo Trademark
A new Donkey Kong game could have just been confirmed thanks to a recent trademark filing by Nintendo. The barrel-throwing, banana-loving giant ape of gaming legend hasn’t seen a standalone triple-A title since 2014’s Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Deep Freeze for the Wii U, and the last Donkey Kong game in general was Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars in 2015. While DK has made plenty of supporting appearances in ensemble games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the well-reviewed Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle expansion, fans have been left wondering when Donkey Kong will return to the gaming spotlight in a brand-new interactive adventure.
While Donkey Kong's 40th anniversary came and went last year without any confirmation of a new game, there have been plenty of rumors and clues that Nintendo might have a new DK project or two in the pipeline. A batch of Nintendo-related leaks from last summer hinted at a new 2D-style Donkey Kong game alongside remakes of several classic Legend of Zelda titles. This still-unconfirmed 2D Donkey Kong game was supposedly set to be released during the 2021 holiday season, but sources stated that it was delayed until sometime this year. While Nintendo has yet to make any kind of official announcement regarding this alleged Donkey Kong sequel, some new information has just surfaced that possibly hints at its existence.
