The most recognizable ape in the world of video games has a new game out for the Wii U today. That's right, Donkey Kong has made his HD debut on Nintendo's home console.

The trailer shows some of the story which seems to involved vikings invading Donkey Kong's home island. This won't be tolerated of course and the big Kong will need his allies to stop his enemies.

Since this is a Donkey Kong game, you can expect it to be difficult but there will be items that you can use to help you out. In the trailer we see balloons that can save you from falls, an extra Diddy Kong barrel if you lose your little buddy and even a way to smash through obstacles that would have otherwise spelled your demise.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is out now for the Wii U.
