With Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze now available, it’s the perfect time for this announcement from Nintendo: Diddy Kong will be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Everyone’s favourite chimp will be putting on his fighting gloves to compete in the big tournament. Check out the screenshots of him in action.

He’s looking great with lots of detail, and his amazing Rocketbarrel Boost move will be making an appearance too. He’ll be playable in both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game, which are released later this year.
