Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the first completely new Donkey Kong side-scrolling action game in three years, exclusively for Wii U!
In this adventure, the Kongs must reclaim their island from the dastardly Snowmads of the northern seas. To do this, they need to set off on a journey around five different islands, plus the frozen Donkey Kong Island.
This will be the first game in the series to be in HD, bringing glorious detail and expression to the world. Depending on the stage, the camera will move to show the action from dynamic viewpoints, bringing you closer to DK's world than ever!
Along with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong returns as a main character, while Cranky Kong is playable for the first time! Your abilities change depending on which partner you bring along, opening up new choices and possibilities. There’s even a cooperative two-player mode, with each player controlling one of the characters and working together to progress through the game!
- A brand new Donkey Kong Country adventure in high-definition!
- Run, leap, and roll across six different islands on your own or with a partner
- Use each character's unique skills to grab a whole host of collectables
* Additional accessories required for multiplayer mode, sold separately.
