Update: You can find even more details in the video below!
Polygon has gone live with a new preview for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. We’ve rounded up details from the report below.
– Always control Donkey Kong in single-player
– Cranky can also take out enemies with a long-ranged attack
– Cranky throws his dentures unlike Diddy’s pop-gun or Dixie’s bubblegum attacks
– Swipe enemies with Cranky Kong’s cane on dry land and underwater
– Game’s levels are “balanced” for players to get through with any buddy
– Certain buddies will allow players to open up new paths
– Ex: in one area, a special puzzle piece is only accessible by bouncing through a spike field with Cranky’s pogo stick
– The difficulty of some levels will change depending on which character you use
– Ex: Battling the viking seal boss with Cranky allows you to bounce off the level’s spiked fish and knock them out completely
– Don’t expect an automatic advantage with Cranky Kong
And a few words from project development Todd Buechele…
“He’s been in the series since the very beginning. We’ve alluded with the way he interacts with DK: ‘I’m the best. You youngsters don’t know how to do things.’
“We thought the natural progression was to go ahead and get him in there. He is a fan favorite. When we started to actually create him, it just took on a life of its own.”
“I don’t want to say [Cranky Kong] ups the difficulty, but it does make it feel like more of a traditional Donkey Kong Country game.”

Today, The Pokémon Company International announced a special gift for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y players that download Pokémon Bank, the new Nintendo 3DS downloadable software service.
