Following up from the news over the weekend that we'll be seeing new IPs from Nintendo over 2018, Reggie Fils-Aime dropped his own little bombshell as he hinted at the idea that we may be getting a new Donkey Kong game for the Nintendo Switch. In an interview with Time, Reggie was talking about Super Mario Odyssey and the new things you can do within the game you haven't done before in other Mario titles, which led him to brushing upon Metroid and Donkey Kong as possibilities.

We May Be Getting A New Donkey Kong Game For The Switch

With Odyssey, we have had other sandbox experiences for Mario in the past: Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. What's different here is the breadth of kingdoms, the Cappy mechanic, and so yes a departure, but maybe not as radical. But with the mentality of creating an experience that the player says, 'Wow, I've never done that before with a Mario game.' That's what we try to do. Whether it's with a Metroid experience or a Donkey Kong experience, we're constantly looking to push the envelope on the IP versus doing sequential small iterations with a particular franchise.

Obviously people have been begging for a proper Metroid game for years, but how would you feel about getting a new Donkey Kong title?
