Despite the critical and commercial success Donkey Kong Country Returns has experienced, there are no plans for a sequel at the moment. That’s according to Retro Studio’s president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh, who also said that creating a platformer was quite difficult – moreso than he expected.

In more Donkey Kong-related news, Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe provided some information behind the game’s development. Tanabe said that told Retro Studios were denied a request to work on the franchise over five years ago, but were later given the opportunity to make a Donkey Kong game when the Big N felt the time was right.

Tanabe also commented on the possibility of a sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns:

“I wasn’t even thinking about doing a sequel for Metroid Prime until Retro showed me the last scene in the game, which was near the end of development. I wouldn’t say we won’t do a sequel [for Donkey Kong Country Returns], but we don’t have anything planned at this time.”

At Hideki Konno’s GDC keynote earlier today, there was a demonstration featuring the long talked-about 3D Wii. Konno was able to adjust the 3D effect in a special version of Mario Kart Wii by controlling the nunchuck. Nothing’s changed, however – ultimately, it’s still a tech demo.

Although it seemed almost completely certain that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword wouldn’t arrive in the first-half of 2011, there’s another reason to believe that it simply won’t happen. Reggie Fils-Aime told Kotaku that more information will be shared about the title at E3. Also, because Nintendo announced a June release for Ocarina of Time 3D, there’s no way that the company would ship another Zelda game so close. I’m willing to bet that we won’t be seeing Skyward Sword until the holiday season at this point.

This information comes from a Eurocom representative…

“Yes, immensely satisfied. We’re really happy that it’s reviewed well and that the public is continuing to enjoy playing it online. We’re satisified with the sales as we’re tracking very well.”

I’m very happy for GoldenEye, mainly because I was extremely surprised by the solid single-player adventure. It’s nice to see a third-party game succeed on Wii which received a generally favorable reception from critics, was marketed, and sold well in the end.
