We have heard virtually nothing from the Donkey Kong crew since the reissue of Tropical freeze on the Switch in 2018, but today we may have some exciting news for all Kong fans around the world. Perhaps…
According to DK enthusiast with eagle eyes and Twitter user BlueCatBanjo73, Nintendo has the Mario Party DS render (which also showed up in Mario Kart tour) by Diddy Kong, and as you can see in the photos below, he now has lifelike fur covering his arms, legs, tail, and face.
So, what’s the reason for this update? While no one seems to really know, some theories link it to a new Mario Party game, while others hope it’s a sign that the Donkey Kong series is finally returning.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Diddy Kong wearing fur – he played in tons of games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate who showed his beautiful coat. What do you think of this updated Diddy Kong render? Tell us about it in the comments.
