David Wise reportedly working on a Nintendo project | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![David Wise reportedly working on a Nintendo project](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/david-wise-reportedly-working-on-a-nintendo-project.jpeg "David Wise reportedly working on a Nintendo project")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/david-wise-reportedly-working-on-a-nintendo-project.jpeg)Musical Composer David Wise, who’s best known for his association with Nintendo, via Rare and for his music for likes of The Donkey Kong Country Series, Diddy Kong Racing and Starfox Adventures, is reportedly working on a Nintendo project.

He’s said to be working in Texas for Nintendo and Retro Studios, according to a source close to him.

## [](#sooo-what-is-he-doing)Sooo what is he doing?

This could mean Wise is contributing towards the recently announced Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch or, better yet, there’s the possibility that Wise is working on a new IP.

Then again he might be working together with former Rare alumni Grant Kirkhope on Mario + Rabbids – Kingdom Battle for all we know. But still it’s good to hear David’s name in association with Nintendo again.
