Wizpig haunts me to this day, that goddamn, head-start cheating son of a bitch.
Others may have more fond memories of Diddy Kong Racing than I do. For those, here is Bootleg Circuit, a five-track DKR remix album from frequent OC ReMix contributor Benjamin Briggs. This pay-what-you-want release samples tunes from the original game, but there is plenty of additional instrumentation to give the N64 soundtrack a fresh sound.
Bootleg Circuit is part of GameChops, a new music label by Dj CUTMAN, who has previously released a pair of albums also entitled GameChops. As these releases demonstrate, the label will have a strong focus on arrangements that directly sample game audio. Keep an eye out on this shizz!

"What's Retro working on? A new Metroid? Zelda Wii U? Something entirely original?"
Those were the questions prior to E3. Turns out the secret project was yet another Donkey Kong Country sequel.
Don't get me wrong! Returns is friggin' amazing and Tropical Freeze is just as fun so far. I simply think Retro has so much more potential.
Never mind that, though. Tropical Freeze... it's pretty bangin'.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is coming to Wii U, with wacky camera angles, and two-player co-op. Secondary players can choose to be either Diddy King or Dixie Kong.
