HAY GUYS

So far, there's only one screenshot up on the Ninendo.co.jp website:

There is, however, an awesome looking video:
http://movie.nintendo.co.jp/data/wmv/ds/diddyracing.wmv

I see the following characters from the original in the video:
Diddy
Tiptup (turtle)
Pipsy (mouse)
Timber (tiger)
Krunch (kremling)

Missing from the video are:
Drumstick
T.T.
Conker
Banjo
Bumper (badger)

There was, however, Tiny Kong (or at least, it looked like Tiny) from DK 64. Her car was white, a similar color to Conker. It's entirely possible that they had to remove Conker from the game due to Rare leaving. They will probably replace Banjo as well, but it's unknown who will replace him.

IGN lists the publisher as "Nintendo", but that is entirely unconfirmed as far as I know.

I am so fucking pumped about this game, guys. I played DKR obsessively back in the day. Hell, my freakin' email address is a reference to it (TIMBER FANS HOLLA BACK). The DS just won the console wars, IMHO. Fuck the Wii, fuck the PS3, fuck the 360. DS is where it's at.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I doubt this is a straight port, guys. They're probably going to be re-using some of the tracks and such, but I highly doubt that they won't add anything new.

I can't wait to play this game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Awesome. That is all.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I really hope they don't tone down the difficulty. Being hard was part of the attraction, IMO.

I went back and re-played the game recently. The game is balls hard, but it's certainly possible, with practice.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
