14 DAY TRIAL // A new cover for the upcoming Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze shows that the Cranky Kong character might also be playable in the coming Wii U title, which is set to be launched on the Nintendo home console in early 2014.
The image is taken from an updated page on the Italian version of Amazon captured by AllGamesBeta, but the development team working on the game has not confirmed the information.
It's unclear what kind of special abilities Cranky Kong might have.
Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong have so far been confirmed as joining the titular character of the title in his battle against a number of Viking-themed creatures that invade his world.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will use the classic side scrolling platformer gameplay of the series but will also introduce new features that can only be delivered on the Wii U home console from Nintendo.
