Hm, I saw the game and I'm very impressed. Retro is once again proving themselves and could very well be this generation's Rare. If that the case, then around 2020, there could be the possibility that Sony (or a third gaming company that isn't Microsoft) could buy them and force them to make games for them.
...... Only joking! It's not like Nintendo would do that same stunt twice! In any case, Retro is doing just fine and if this game has any callbacks to DKC2, then it's all the better! I was expecting the return of King K. Rool or the Tikis, but Vikings are nice! Besides, fighting crocodiles over and over again would then lead to a similar situation to how most people would like new baddie groups in Mario games besides Bowser and his Koopas (and kidnapping the Princess over and over again).
About time! Drowning in water does not thrill me and seeing more animal buddies is always welcome. Of course, I thought I saw an oxygen meter in the gameplay footage, so it looks like the Kongs are no longer part fish as it were...
Besides the return of ice levels (which I was dying to see again in the prequel to this game), the fourth character sounds very interesting. Looking at the other Kongs, the best guesses are Lanky and Kiddy. We can't use Tiny because she was only created as a replacement for Dixie, and as for Chunky... Yeah...
Of course, I could think of more possibilities than that. Cranky and Funky are also good considerations (with the former actually being a secret unlockable character that is as good as he claims to be), but either a Kremling or a Viking would make the most sense........ If it as another Rare character, though, such as a certain bear, the game's awesomeness level would shoot through the roof!
