Diddy Kong has been unusually lacking in motion from a lot of Nintendo’s advertising and marketing, significantly across the Swap 2. A minimum of he was there when Donkey Kong Nation Returns HD got here out in January…?
Anyway, the massive query on everybody’s lips when Donkey Kong was proven off in Mario Kart World again in January, sporting a model new design was: will Diddy Kong meet the identical destiny?
Effectively, the reply is sure — Diddy Kong has gotten a contemporary makeover, as revealed on the Nintendo Information tab on Swap. You may see him standing subsequent to the goofier Donkey Kong we have grow to be extra acquainted with in latest months.
This is a bit of side-by-side we put collectively.
As you’ll be able to see, Diddy’s undergone a way more delicate shift in comparison with his uncle DK — his stomach is a bit of rounder than his outdated design, and he is additionally obtained enamel now (sorry). However the greatest change is likely to be his redesigned cap, which as a substitute of getting the white Nintendo brand on it, now has a DK pin on the facet.
Notably, this a part of Diddy’s design appears to take a cue from his look within the Tremendous Mario Bros. Film, as noticed by pal of the positioning and NL contributor Chris Scullion.
In fact, this has us asking one more query — when will we see Diddy’s new design in a recreation? DK’s Nephew hasn’t been confirmed for Mario Kart World but, and so far as we will inform, he is not popped up in Donkey Kong Bananza. Absolutely that is the place we’ll see him subsequent, proper?
We’re prepared and ready in your return, Diddy Kong
