Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Today, Nintendo opened the official website for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Nintendo Switch. The website doesn’t reveal anything really new (because there isn’t anything new to the game, besides the new Funky Mode and the various features for newcomers already introduced in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D), but it doesn’t feature a fair number of videos.

We went and grabbed all the videos, and you can find them compiled in the following playlist (sorry for the lock of sound!):

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Switch) comes out on May 3rd in Japan, and May 4th in Europe and North America.

Kirby Star Allies

The first free Software update for Kirby Star Allies will add some more Dream Friends: Rick, Kine, and Coo (but also Marx). And it’s precisely those three that the latest Nintendo Treehouse Log post is all about! If you want to learn more about them, including where they come from, and how they play in Kirby Star Allies, then click here!

Here’s a trailer showcasing Rick, Kine, and Coo:

And here’s one for Marx:

But that’s not all! Here’s the North American launch trailer for the game:
