No More Donkey Kong Games?

I read that Rare owns the rights to donkey kong and since MS bought Rare that means they can't make any more donkey kong games on the Wii. Is that true because I see donkey kong in a few games on the Wii already.

Rare doesn't own the rights to Donkey Kong, Nintendo does. Rare won't be making any more Donkey Kong games unless they ever split from Microsoft.

I really don't want Rare to make anymore Donkey Kong games. It slowly started to go downhill with DKC 3..then DKC 64 (even though I liked this one, can't compete with the 2D ones though) The only way it'd be awesome is if they made a DKC 4, and made it side scrolling. But it can't happen.DevilBorg

Rare owns the rights to Donkey Kong Country, but Nintendo still owns the rights to the character Donkey Kong, so it won't happen.VeryGnawty

No. Donkey Kong Country is part of the Donkey Kong franchise. Nintendo owns it. If Nintendo didn't own it, it would not be on the virtual console.

lol where ever you read that, they have no clue, Nintendo owns the right to the Donkey Kong IP and all things affliated with it, why do you think Donkey Kong has been in every Smash Brothers and Diddy was in Brawl? Think about that for a sec. Then there is also all the DK games that have been released since the Nintendo/Rare split. Its simple common sense really. Sepewrath

LOL - aren't you and I always the ones chiming in with the common sense with all these DK topics? I really should start ignoring any thread titles that include the words "Donkey Kong," since there are more people who honestly believe Rare owns the rights to Donkey Kong than anyone could ever hope to educate.

Hopefully, we will see a DK game on the Wii.

Did you read it from my thread? :)

Well maybe then Rare will do it, depends on what kind of girl they are,....

I doubt we will see another DK platformer period. So it doesn't matter who has the rights.
