Nintendo explains how David Wise came on board for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
David Wise hasn’t worked with Nintendo in a few years. And it’s been a really long time he contributed to a Donkey Kong Country game. So you might be wondering, how’d Nintendo get Wise on board for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze?
Producer Kensuke Tanabe explained:
“I worked with David, many, many years ago, and have stayed in contact ever since. He’s actually a friend of mine. So, as we approached this particular project, he became available.”
“So I picked up the phone and said ‘Hey David! You have some time? Would you like to help us out with Tropical Freeze?’ And he jumped at the chance. It was a coincidence that he was available at the time… he wasn’t prior [for Donkey Kong Country Returns] and we couldn’t be happier.”
Tropical Freeze’s music will be completely original, but Tanabe teased: “Yet, there will be some familiarities… you can hear that it is David Wise.”
