One of the Rare in-house composers responsible for the original Donkey Kong Country's soundtrack is returning to the simian series.

David Wise is returning to the Donkey Kong Country franchise as the composer for Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze. Formerly an in-house composer at Rare, Wise worked on titles such as Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, and Diddy Kong Racing.

Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze during their E3 Nintendo Direct earlier today. It is being developed by Retro Studios for release on Wii U November of this year.
