David Wise and more!
I was thrilled but admittedly surprised that Nintendotook stage time to announcethat David Wise, belovedDonkey Kong Countrycomposer, would be working on the newly-announced Wii U title,Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. After hearing this great news, I wondered what the fate ofDonkey Kong Country Returnscomposer Kenji Yamamoto was.
We were able to confirm at the Wii U software showcase this morning that David Wise will in fact be collaborating with Kenji Yamamoto, whose name has been associated with theMetroidseries (includingSuper Metroidand thePrimetrilogy) in the past. Retro Studios audio director Scott Petersen will also be joining the team, bringing together the best of both music worlds:DKCof old andDonkey Kong Country Returns.
This is another great title that is just begging for a soundtrack release. Will you be looking forward to something more along the lines of “Stickerbush Symphony” or “Aquatic Ambiance?”
