Diddy Kong confirmed for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS in time for Tropical Freeze release

Donkey Kong's certainly pleased to be joined by Diddy.

I know Diddy Kong in Super Smash Bros. Brawl had at least one fan: my brother. Undoubtedly, there are many other Diddy fans out there. I'm talking to you when I say, "Diddy Kong is returning to the fray!" The adorable simian has been confirmed as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 via the usual Miiverse screenshot of the day from Sakurai, the games' director.

Strangely, this announcement was made at the exact moment Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze released for Wii U. I'm kidding about the "strangely" part, obviously. It's not strange at all, though I didn't even think to predict it myself. Did anyone out there make the guess before it came true? Leave an answer in the comments below. Also, feel free to leave any other thoughts you may have concerning Tropical Freeze itself or Diddy Kong's return to Smash Bros.
