Diddy Kong Returns in Super Smash Bros for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

by on February 24, 2014
 

Nintendo have confirmed that the pistol wielding chimp, Diddy Kong, will return in the next iteration of the Super Smash Bros series.

The announcement was made to coincide with the release of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze on Wii U last Friday.

Diddy’s appearance seems largely unchanged from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Peanut guns, jetpacks, and a general vibe of mischief permeate his new character page on the Super Smash Bros website.

Personally, I hope the Kong Kid goes through a few substantial tweaks. His Forward + B move, for example, always felt somewhat naff, surely there’s a more fitting manoeuvre for the chimp than a forward flip?

Otherwise it’s great to see the cheeky Banana scoffing monkey back in action. But who will be the next reveal? Yoshi. My money is on Yoshi.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
