This Week In Imports: Donkey Kong Swings On To Wii U

Nintendo has Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze ready for release in Japan. The Wii U game (which drops the Country moniker in Nintendo’s home turf) has Donkey Kong (actually Donkey Kong Jr.), Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong (who plays kind of like Scrooge McDuck from Ducktales) as playable characters. Speaking of four player games, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is due for Vita in Japan too.

Things are more interesting in the West where Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc launch.
