Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

I'm very upset. This is probably all because of SM3DL.

Good, this will give me a chance to playthrough SM3DW. I wasn't going to buy DKTF until next year anyway.

Not to mention A link between worlds comes out the same day as SM3DW.

New trailer:
unfortunately, it looks like you'll only be able to play as dixie when you're player 2, which is a huge bummer
where's the evidence of that

Also as much as i'm loving the look of this game, I am worried that this is just going to be a hd rehash of DKCR.
 
still no kremlings

where are the kremlings

let me turn your question around: where's the evidence that you can play as dixie solo? all the footage either shows co-op dk dixie, or has dk solo with dixie as a powerup
 
^ Seems plausible.
 
Yeah, much like with Donkey Kong Country Returns, you can only use Donkey Kong in single player mode. Diddy and Dixie can only be played by player 2.
 
Oh gosh, this game is looking awesome so far. I don't think it'll be just a "rehash" of the previous game in HD. The camera perspective gimmick is very interesting and adds a lot of depth to the gameplay. Also Dixie Kong. <3
 
They got a great new way of using minecarts... actually it's very much like the Creepy Castle Minecart in DK64.

That sounds cool I wonder how that would work in 2D
 
New details
-a new move called "Kong Pow" that allows to turn enemies on screen into items, much like throwing a POW block or performing a simultaneous ground pound.
-"Jelly Jamboree", a stage with jelly trampolines which is shown in the E3 trailer.
-as mentioned earlier, a minecart level in dynamic view allows players jump from rail to tail.
-it is confirmed that there will be 6 islands (plus DK Island) in the game.

Leaked 4th playable character:

It looks pretty genuine, and if so, that's awesome.
 
Cranky always said he could do a better job, so I could see him participating.

Not debatable but not "awesome" in a good way (for that fact that he already had cameo appearance last time and we're not sure if other characters would return), though it's his first time playable in mainstream games.

I think it would be compared with SM3DW which just provided five playable ones. But since DKC only provide sidekicks that might be for specific levels, I'm not sure we can expect a fifth one.

This.
 
Now we just need a Cranky Kong Country of pure cranky badassery.
 
I fail to see why him appearing on the box art necessarily means it's him. I fail to see how it even can be. He can't even stand up without a cane. Let alone keep up with the other Kongs. Will he have to be carried by DK and use his cane as a weapon? Will he use his cane as a pogo stick à la Scrooge McDuck? Will he concoct a potion for more vitality? There would have to be SOME explanation.
 
According to the boxart, Donkey Kong can carry three Kongs at once. I think DK may perform a special move with Diddy's jetpack, Dixie's ponytail and Cranky's cane or something.
