"Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe has said that the firm has no plans for a sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns. Speaking at GDC, the exec refused to rule out a follow-up to the hit Wii title, but revealed that nothing is in the pipeline at present. &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t say we won&amp;#039;t do a sequel [for Donkey Kong Country Returns], but we don&amp;#039;t have anything planned at this time,&amp;quot; he told Game Informer. However, Tanabe cited the Metroid Prime series as an example of how additional instalments can be announced unexpectedly. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t even thinking about doing a sequel for Metroid Prime until Retro showed me the last scene in the game, which was near the end of development.&amp;quot; Donkey Kong Country Returns was released for Wii late last year. The game had sold 4.21 million copies worldwide by the end of 2010. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
