I think that's true to an extent. My thoughts are pretty much Retro wanted to focus less on fan service and more on crafting their own great DKC games (which they've done so far) and are slowly adding back characters fans loved.
It's a fact: King K. Rool goes with every costume.From GameFAQs' donkey_kong_jr_:
King K. Roy.
Kommunist K Rool for Retro's third Donkey Kong Country game!
He steals the bananas in order to make everyone have an equal amount
Actually, my theory is that K.Rool is actually trying to force / bring capitalism into Donkey Kong Island, hence why the Kongs are only interessted in bananas, but from DKC2 and onward they are also forced to use a monterary system in Banana Coins, Hero Coins, Bonus Coins and what not. The Kremlings also have their industrial places in Donkey Kong Island, like the Kremkroc Industries. Chimp Caverns and Monkey Mines could've very well been Kong-friendly places before to, but taken under Kremling occupation since K.Rool started settling his army there.
I'd say option number 2. We can't be getting just one ballot character.Relevant:
Remember shinyquagmire? He leaked Roy and Ryu and also found this.
Do you think that we will get:
- Six characters; five planned beforehand and one ballot character?
- More than six; six planned before hand and whatever number of ballot character we get?
I'm leaning towards the second option. I can't see us getting just one ballot character in the game.
what are you talking about? Lanky and Chunky are awesome.
In New Super Mario Bros. 3 as a world boss
This is a good analogy. The Koopalings were dismissed as being "irrelevant" for the longest time, and now they're everywhere. Like K. Rool, they had legions of fans who were disappointed that they were replaced by other villains. Nintendo isn't stupid. I could see them hyping up the return of the Kremlings in a hypothetical third Donkey Kong Country game from Retro Studios. Their presence would be a selling point for many people, myself included. At this point, it's going to be a battle to see who brings them back first.
No, Diddy and Cranky were kept. Then they continued and brought back Dixie and Funky due to fan demand.
Diddy wasn't even in it.
I think 2..Just one ballot character is too little. I'm leaning towards 3 ballot characters.

apparently Diddy wasent in MK8 because Nintendo are working on Diddy kong Racing 2.
If Sakurai didnt speak out against Ridley then i would still think he would be very highly requested in the ballot even though he is a stage boss people would ask sakurai to go with his moveset and expand on it because he litreally functions like a playable character.

and his amazing custom figure! ... Yep, a K. Rool Amiibo packaging to stir our imagination! =D.. looks nic- oooh.... well.. seems that's soldout now. :\/I will have to admit it would be very interesting to see how politics would be like in the video game universe, evne Donkey Kong. That is, if it can be done tastefully and isn't just some propaganda done by whoever is involved in the story.
How do you know those characters are getting voted more than Ridley? Simply logic or there's a source to actually know that?
Well according to most youtube videos and what i hear from people saying and speaking universally it goes something like this.
Mario Kart & Mario spin off rosters in general are really odd. Characters come and go for no reason and there's barely any consistency beyond the appearance of the greats(Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, etc.).
It's funny, because in Brawl, if someone had suggested the Koopalings, even exactly as they are now, they would've gotten the same responses from detractors we're getting.
Well that's all speculation even if probably true. Who knows though, there might be a handful of crazy fans voting for a character a hundred times everyday just because. People are weird like that. Anyway, I think that we will still get a surprise out of this Ballot, because Sakurai.
His crouch should be him playing dead. But then again, I guess that pose would be better suited for his pratfalls. I also would like to mention that K. Rool's get up attacks should be the most powerful in the game. Because that's what K. Rool does; he gets you when you least expect it.
Now that would be a sweet detail!
Forgive me if I sound stupid, but what code is there that gives a hint of more characters?Relevant:

- More than six; six planned before hand and whatever number of ballot character we get?

I really don't wanna think about Earthworm jim being eatenSo that's why Jim disappeared off the face of the earth, K.Rool ate him
