It’s on like Donkey Kong.

E3 2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns Announced

Nintendo sure seemed in a nostalgic mood as they kept resurrecting older and not to mention highly beloved franchises at their E3 press conference. After GoldenEye enjoyed a much needed revival, Donkey Kong took center stage in an all new game called Donkey Kong Country Returns.

_
Controlled by a group of evil Tikis, the animals in Donkey Kong Island have raided Donkey Kong’s Banana Hoard and stolen his stash of bananas – and he understandably wants them back. Retro Studios brings Donkey Kong back in a new side-scrolling adventure with familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had for the Super NES original._

The game is expected this Fall exclusively for the Wii.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
