I know people certainly have enjoyed them (the animals) in the past so we are definitely considering those elements of gameplay. But you'll have to excuse me for keeping this secret for a little while longer." - Kensuke Tanabe, Nintendo
Sounds like some of the old gang may make another appearance. Perhaps Funky Kong will be in there, or Candy Kong...and maybe we'll get some Rambi fun. We'll have to wait to find out those answers for sure, but what we know right now is that there will not be any water levels.
"There are no underwater stages this time around. (they) felt slow it just wasn't the kind of gameplay we were looking for."
Does that mean we won't get to hear some of the wonderful underwater music from the original series? Let's hope the team finds another way to work those tunes in.
