Team Donkey Kong up with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong or Cranky Kong and fight the frost playing solo or with a friend
6th February 2014 – Donkey Kong and his D.K. Crew are back for another wild platform adventure in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, launching exclusively on Wii U on 21st February 2014. This frosty jungle caper features colourful HD graphics bringing vibran t detail both to the big ape’s fur as well as the lush, dynamic scenery, paired with a chest-thumping soundtrack composed by the celebrated David Wise. Visit the brand new website for a taste of all the powerful action, or take a look at the Donkey Kong Hub to savour some of DK’s history.
This time around, the Kongs have their island home invaded by the Snowmads: new cold-hearted foes who arrive on longships and, with a toot of a magical horn, turn the tropical paradise into their frozen fortress. To make matters worse, when the arctic cyclone sweeps over Donkey Kong Island, the Kongs are blown far away and must begin an epic journey spanning six differently-themed islands, to reclaim their banana hoard and thaw out their home. On each island, a multitude of fierce and frantic levels await that throw Rambi rides, underwater antics, epic boss battles and secret exits across your path. On many occasions, the new dynamic camera twists the action in a way never seen before, lending a more cinematic point of view to frenzies of Barrel Cannon blasts and Mine Carts careering off the rails.
Take-Two doesn’t have much to say about Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Aside from NBA 2K13, Take-Two Interactive hasn’t produced much content for Wii U. That’s unlikely to change in the future.
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick once again commented on Wii U, telling GamesIndustry:
“We haven’t talked about specific titles in development, but we’ve said our strategy is to meet consumers where they are. If they’re buying hardware, we’ll be there with software. That said, we make these really big, AAA titles that work on some platforms, but not others.”
Zelnick said in June 2012 that he was “skeptical” about Wii U when it comes to core games. Apparently, his mentality hasn’t changed much since then.

Warner Bros. Games Montreal has an unannounced project in the works for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Warner Bros. Games Montreal, developer of Batman: Arkham Origins and the Wii U version of Batman: Arkham City, has a new game in the works for Nintendo’s console.
Lead game designer Pierre-Luc Foisy lists an “Unannounced Project” on his LinkedIn profile. Along with Wii U, the title is slated for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Given Warner Bros. Montreal’s past, one would think that the project has a chance of being Batman-related. That’s most definitely not confirmed though and is one of many possibilities.

Natsume has no news on Harvest Moon for Wii U at the moment
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
At the moment, Natsume doesn’t have any news to share regarding Harvest Moon for Wii U.
Community manager “CeeCee” recently responded to a number of requests for the series to appear on new consoles, most of which specifically mentioned Nintendo’s system. Sadly though, Natsume has “nothing to announce.”
CeeCee’s comments in full:
Unfortunately, there is nothing to announce at this time. The development of games on any specific consoles is very dependent on the install base of that console. The larger the install base, the better chance a unique game like Harvest Moon will do. Thus, we are always watching how each and every console is doing, and waiting for the right opportunity.
