Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze coming to Wii U later this year

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the latest in the long-running Donkey Kong Country series of platformers, has been announced for the Wii U. The game is being developed by Retro Studios.

The side-scrolling platformer has beautiful HD graphics that show fine details, such as Donkey Kong’s fur. Dixie Kong joins the adventure, which features the Kong's swimming underwater and moving from the foreground to the background. This time, the camera changes perspective on certain levels to enhance the sense of motion and deliver new experiences. The game is scheduled to launch towards the end of this year.
