Nintendo reportedly has a number of projects under development around the Donkey Kong license. According to the fansite DK vine, Nintendo life and delicious ZippoIt bounces off a spring tweet from YouTubeur LonelyGoomba, a new game would be 2 or 3 years in development. Nintendo EPD would be responsible, responsible for Super Mario Odyssey. And it would be a 2D platformer, but not a new episode of Donkey Kong Country.

In his post, Zippo explains that he knows for sure that Nintendo has a lot of other media in mind. A film project or an animation series with the characters of Donkey Kong would be at the beginning of the production. The Super Nintendo World area of Universal Studios Japan theme park is preparing to open a new dedicated area. Photos of models shared on the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast in 2019 already earned him praise.
