Perfect! Cranky in Bayo1.
Everyone who's expecting tomorrow a Metroid (for what, who will buy it anyhow?) or Star Fox or F-zero is in for a big disappointment.

in order to promote donkey kong country: tropical freeze across america, we have released twelve wily gorillas into select cities nationwide. each of them is wearing a red tie, just like donkey kong. on the back of the tie is a nintendo eshop code for donkey kong country: tropical freeze. please be on the lookout for these gorillas.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Gorilla's have a life expectancy of 35 to 40 years. Cranky's first appearance was in 1981. Based on his physiology we can assume he was fully developed, male gorillas reaching maturity around 11 to 13 years of age.
This would make Cranky Kong at least 44. 2014 could indeed be the Year of Cranky. The last one.
Starts with Tropical Freeze, followed by Cranky in Mario Kart, Cranky in Smash, Cranky Kong's Crash Course Nintendo Land DLC, a game called Cranky's Arcade (developed by Kamiya) and Cranky Kong Racing, a spiritual successor to Diddy Kong Racing co-developed by Sumo Digital including riding animals as seen in the Donkey Kong Racing Trailer.

Shh no understands Iwata, only reveals now.
Be honest. It's not just Smash fans buying Smash. Parents likely already have their kids 3DS' will probably buy them the 3DS game. Casuals will see the 3DS is a lot cheaper, and so forth.
Many people I know have opted for the 3DS version only as they see no reason to buy a Wii U.

You forgot crank zero and fire emblem acrankening 2.
I'm hoping he suffers a mild stroke fighting a boss in Tropical Freeze and gets rushed off to the nearest vet. Then in Donkey Kong 64U he'll be a ghost. All according to keikaku of course.
Planet of the Cranky
Hey, everyone I know thinks Mario 3D World is the greatest game released in the last five years.
Sure didn't do anything for sales.

during the last nintendo direct, we announced our gorilla-based promotion for donkey kong country: tropical freeze. however, it soon became apparent that the wily gorillas were more enraged than wily, due to the discomfort of the ties, and also lack of food. we apologize to all those harmed or killed by the wrath of the jungle kings. any persons affected by this, where terms apply, will receive an 80% discount on the wii u virtual console download of donkey kong for the nintendo entertainment system.
I seriously do expect to see another video of DKTF (Cranky included).

You best believe.
I think the best part of that GIF is the "end of track" with the silhouette of Reggie making the "Eh?" pose.
I expect Iwata to be costumed as Cranky and beat Reggie with the stick. Anything less will be a disappointment.
That's why they didn't reveal the name of X until now. Mechs will be actually shaped as Cranky. The stick can be used as a bazooka.
DKTF isn't being released in the spring tho
Why did DK glue two coconuts to his back?
lol, I 100% agree with your assessment.
Doesn't matter, they'll still try to promote it or remind you of it in some shape or form.
DAT ASS! Damn.

Luckily, when wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

If so, I think it'll just amount to them saying "Oh by the way DK is out in February, so don't forget to pick it up" or something.
And it'll have a picture of the cover and bam! Cranky is there. lol
This is Nintendo so they'll have a trailer prepared with gameplay of the same levels we've seen. Oh and more Cranky.

Wish people would cut this out. It's just not happening.
Anyway, they'd be remiss to not have at least one surprise for this Direct, with the year the Wii U's had.
jaja... awesome.
Seems legit apart from the VC stuff and Bayonetta 1 port. I think we'll have one new game as well. Maybe more on Yarn Yoshi.
They always have a big trailer for the next big upcoming game. Always.
Where is this gif from, I need to know
Nibel made it, lol

Exciting!
We won't here about Smash, as it seemingly isn't out In Spring.. but hopefully they'll do another big January direct and show it.

"Did you all have a good Year of Luigi? Well, we didn't! I mean, we sorta did, but nobody really cared outside of 'oh these games are ni-' FUCK Luigi. Stupid year. ...Luigi."
