Nintendo will release the Nintendo Switch version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze this Friday. Now, days before launch, Nintendo has released two new trailers for the game featuring playable characters Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong.

Diddy Kong is a classic character who first appeared in the original Donkey Kong Country, and has been a staple character of the series since. He is the fastest character in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, can use his jetpack to hover and peanut pop gun to stun enemies.

Meanwhile, Dixie Kong first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. In Tropical Freeze, Dixie Kong sets herself apart by using her ponytail in order to propel herself underwater, do a massive double jump, and hit enemies. She can also use a gumball pop gun like Diddy to stun enemies.

You can check out the new trailers for Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong below. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is currently available on Wii U, while Nintendo Switch version of the game will release on May 4. It can currently be pre-ordered on Amazon.
