Podcaster Nate the Hate, who has had many inside scoops associated with upcoming video games, mentioned a new Donkey Kong title in the works at Nintendo. This would be the first mainline game in the series since Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U in 2014, so if true, this is exciting news.

Unfortunately, Nate admitted he didn't have much more knowledge on the subject. However, he did point to Super Nintendo World in Japan, currently building a Donkey Kong section of the park, which he hypothesized could somehow be associated with a new DK title for Switch. It's unclear how, or if these two projects might intertwine with each other, which may explain why Nintendo has yet to announce this new Donkey Kong game just yet.

It's worth stressing that all of this information should be taken with a grain of salt. While it seems likely that Nintendo is creating a new Donkey Kong title for Switch, until the company formally announces said game, it's hard to know exactly what should be believed here.
