Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/platformer/13308/donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze/) debuted in second place in this week's Japanese chart.
Nintendo and Retro Studios' 2D platformer wasn't able to overthrow 3DS title Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Iru & Luca's Wonderful Mysterious Keys, which held the top spot for the second week running.
