It did, but it didn't have the same lasting appeal without the Kremlings. DKC Tropical Freeze, though doing fairly well, isn't doing NEARLY the same as Returns did. If they brought back the Kremlings, I think the hype for TF would've been far, far greater as a whole.
Maybe they plan on rounding out a trilogy with Kremlings returning?
It's not doing as well because of the install base. How many people own a Wii compared to a Wii U? How many DKC fans and/or people who liked DKCR have a Wii U? Kremlings are a good factor, but the hype was pretty strong knowing that Dixie and more importantly David Wise was back in tbe series.
Those did help, naturally. A DKCR3 with the Kremlings, expanding even further by bringing back more DK content, would help even more. I don't mind slowly bringing back the old content, and I perfectly well do believe K. Rool is coming back. Granted, I also wanted K. Rool in Smash. Maybe DLC is a possibility, we'll see.
Cranky is already in the BG of a stage. At this point, DKJr is just about the last semi-likely DK rep without a role.
Um, Cranky was the FIRST DK character deconfirmed as playable. What are you talking about?
He's obviously trying to hype the Wii U version with the big 3
Salty the 3DS remake, and an american studio game, outsold his babies four to one maybe. More probably it's just cheap marketing for the "cool" and "edgy" new animu characters.
I hope we do get some DK DLC; I'm certainly not thrilled about things as is and I'm probably gonna go back to lurking, but I see DLC as a reasonable possibility, and I'd love to see Retro's take on the Kremlings...but as of now IDK if I'll have to wait for Sakurai to put them in his game or Retro them in theirs.
K. Rool and Dixie both have new models, which is interesting. Ridley is only possible as a playable if they are planning to hype the Wii U release with the Big 3, but otherwise there's little hope for Playabley. I think K. Rool is more likely as DLC than to hype the Wii U release, but I wouldn't mind either one. I'm not expecting anything, though.
K.Rool's trophy for Melee and Brawl were completely different.
Again, that was Oracle_Summon who started that. Isaac right now is looking to be THE BEST option for DLC, as there was literally no reason to cut his AT, and he still does not have a trophy either. That said, calling it "Big 4" is lame. It should've been more "Big 3 and Unrepresented Franchise DLC Discussion" or something like that, rather than "Big 4" since Isaac doesn't compare to the Big 3 at all. (He's generally been consistently within the Top 10 most wanted overall, but there's a significant gap between him and the Big 3.)
I'll join if you add Bandana Dee to the list. I'm sure the Bandana Brigade would join your alliance.
That's my plan. . .invite everyone and, if they want to join, they can, and if they don't, they can pass.
Is it too late to be a kuttthroat?

If you're here, could you send me an invite to the group? I'm mainly interested because I want to continue to talking to the Kremling Kutthroats, but I don't mind helping out a little (although I will not be involving myself in DLC speculation).Good thing about this is that this game shows that characters commonly expected to be clones can still be original. Remember when a lot of us thought that Bowser Jr. was going to be a semi-clone of Bowser? Yet look at how well he turned out.
Agreed on the "not being involved in DLC speculation." The only thing that catches me off guard is Isaac's situation. I will support K. Rool for DLC, but speculation I will not take part in.I'll admit that I was pretty disappointed that King K. Rool didn't get in; really did think that he was a near shoe-in before E3 2013. Still, there is a slight silver lining when Sakurai compared King K. Rool as Donkey Kong's rival much like how Bowser is Mario's rival, so it's nice for him to acknowledge that.
I will always want K. Rool as playable in Smash (and to return to the Donkey Kong franchise). Mega Man's inclusion taught me to never give up hope for a dream and the fact that Sakurai acknowledge K. Rool as the main villain of the DK franchise has me feeling good about his return to the DK franchise eventually.
I'm glad to have been part of this community and the K. Rool fan base; loved interacting with all of you. Just remember one thing; we are the Kremling Kutthroats and we will always love the Kremling King.

Nope. I'll add the last few people during one last update.
I already proposed that we include Dixie, Wolf, Krystal, Ice Climbers, and Lucas in the discussion. Oracle Summon stated that we'll have to vote on that. I think these franchises would do nicely, Underrepresented Franchises and the Big 3, basically.
No? Hmm... I wonder if I can invite people? If not, BKupa666 already said he's going to invite the ENTIRE list of Kutthroats.
The issue with speculation is that at the end of the day, we don't really know how Sakurai thinks nearly as much as we think we do. Of the highly expected characters before E3 2013 (King K. Rool, Dixie Kong, Ridley, Mewtwo, Chrom, Palutena, Takamaru, Little Mac, Isaac, Shulk, Pac-Man), only four of them got in (the community was divided on Mega Man's chances). The roster turned out very different from expectations in both good ways and bad ways.
I would also propose Snake. Remember that he was an extremely popular veteran for Brawl and if we're going to be trying to get veterans to return, we should consider having Snake with us.
