In some very unsurprising news due to a leak by Amazon Italy earlier in the week, Cranky Kong has been officially confirmed for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. We knew Nintendo would be showing a “new look” at an upcoming game at the VGX, straight from Reggie Fils-Aime.
While this announcement may be a little disappointing, since many were hoping for something more considering the surprise was ruined this week by the leak. Regardless, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze looks fantastic, especially with the addition of Cranky Kong. The level design looks like a blast, with a new level known as Bramble Scramble that looks like some classic levels from Donkey Kong Country 2.
Reggie Fils-Aime also brought us a release date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze as well, February 21. This release date is perfect for me considering that is my birthday. Should be quite a lot of fun to play in a couple months.
