AHEM! This is Cranky Kong. Nintendo told me to deal with Twitter today. Once they explained it wasn’t some new animal buddy, I agreed.

YOU ASKED: How old are you, Cranky??? #DKCTF #WiiU

Old enough to remember when falling in a pit in a platformer was called “lack of skill” and not “cheap.” #DKCTF #WiiU

YOU ASKED: What’s your favorite video game and why? #DKCTF #WiiU

Game & Watch—any of ‘em. Why? Because they weren’t fancy, they were fun, and you could throw them at rowdy teenagers. #DKCTF #WiiU

Cranky Kong Bounces into Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–During this weekend’s VGX event, a live demonstration of the upcoming Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze game for Wii U revealed some exciting details about the addition of Cranky Kong as a playable character. For the first time in the Donkey Kong Country series, players will be able to assume control of the fan-favorite Cranky Kong. Cranky joins Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong as one of Donkey Kong’s partners in the game. At VGX, an event celebrating video games, Nintendo also revealed that the game will launch in North America on Feb. 21 in stores and on the Nintendo eShop.
The bearded Cranky Kong is very spry for his age, using his cane to bounce on dangerous objects like spikes. This ability helps him access areas other characters can’t reach. During single-player mode, Cranky rides on Donkey Kong’s back. In co-op multiplayer, a second player can control Cranky, Diddy or Dixie directly (an additional controller is required for multiplayer play, and is sold separately).
