Diddy Kong the 24th Super Smash. Bros for Wii U and 3DS character
Donkey Kong's sidekick will be even more flexible in the latest incarnation of Nintendo's all-star brawler.
Donkey Kong's young sidekick Diddy Kong will be a playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
The announcement coincides with the release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Wii U, and producer Masahiro Sakurai adds that Diddy Kong's flexibility has been increased for the new Smash Bros. title.
Diddy Kong, the 24th character confirmed to appear in Nintendo's all-star roster of mascots and characters, made his first appearance in the series on Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. He's also one of the more capable platforming sidekicks: he has previously headlined his own N64 kart racer in 1997, and even rescued Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool in 1995. Beat that, Tails.
Other recent roster announcements for Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U and 3DS include Punch-Out's Little Mac, Pokemon Lucario, and Kirby's nemesis King Dedede.
Nintendo is yet to announce the release date for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
