Diddy Kong has been unusually lacking in motion from a lot of Nintendo’s advertising, specifically across the Transfer 2. No less than he used to be there when Donkey Kong Nation Returns HD got here out in January…?
Anyway, the large query on everybody’s lips when Donkey Kong used to be proven off in Mario Kart International again in January, carrying a brand spanking new design used to be: will Diddy Kong meet the similar destiny?
Neatly, the solution is sure — Diddy Kong has gotten a recent makeover, as published at the Nintendo Information tab on Transfer. You’ll be able to see him status subsequent to the goofier Donkey Kong now we have turn into extra conversant in in fresh months.
Here is a little side-by-side we put in combination.

As you’ll be able to see, Diddy’s gone through a a lot more delicate shift in comparison to his uncle DK — his stomach is a little bit rounder than his outdated design, and he is additionally were given enamel now (sorry). However the largest alternate could be his redesigned cap, which as an alternative of getting the white Nintendo emblem on it, now has a DK pin at the aspect.
Significantly, this a part of Diddy’s design turns out to take a cue from his glance within the Tremendous Mario Bros. Film, as noticed via buddy of the website and NL contributor Chris Scullion.
After all, this has us asking but some other query — when do we see Diddy’s new design in a sport? DK’s Nephew hasn’t been showed for Mario Kart International but, and so far as we will be able to inform, he is not popped up in Donkey Kong Bananza. Definitely that is the place we’re going to see him subsequent, proper?
We are in a position and looking ahead to your go back, Diddy Kong
