Climax Studios pitched Diddy Kong Racing Adventure to Nintendo for the GameCube
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 1 Comment
YouTube user PtoPOnline has unearthed an interesting pitch from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories developer Climax Studios. During the GameCube era, the company was hoping Nintendo would give the green light on Diddy Kong Racing Adventure.
Big plans were in store for Diddy Kong Racing Adventure even though Nintendo decided not to go ahead with the pitch. Climax had a story in mind, with the intent of bringing back the Adventure Mode and multiple vehicles from the original Diddy Kong Racing. Also in place was a mount system so that players could move positions on their vehicle or move to a separate one entirely. Climax was looking to include fourteen different characters with unique attacks for each as well. 4-player multiplayer, along with a slew of other modes, were also in the pipeline.
Plenty of additional details about Diddy Kong Racing Adventure can be found in the video below.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
The Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL was originally announced for Japan. However, Play-Asia now has it up for pre-order, and the unit the retailer is selling is U.S. compatible. That means it’s essentially like making a purchase at GameStop or Best Buy.
If you’re unsure about what’s happening here as Nintendo never “announced” the Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL for North America, there’s a simple explanation. The system will be sold in Singapore, and uses the U.S. unit as its base.
You can order the Pikachu Edition New 3DS XL on Play-Asia here if interested.
