Mmmm ... kinda yes and no. Yes in the sense that any big IP at this point can only help the Wii U, it's selling that badly. And DKC is actually probably about as popular as the Zelda series, there are lots of casuals that like to play a more straight forward game like DKC over a Zelda game.
But the system already has NSMBU and is getting New Super Luigi as well, and then Rayman is coming, and Sonic and Mario 3D World this fall too -- it's overkill for platformers.
Nintendo would've been better off with Mario Kart 8 and X this holiday over Mario 3D World and DKC: TF to be honest.
And DKC is like my favorite Super NES game ever and probably one of my top five most cherished Nintendo games ever (above every Zelda game, yup). So I'm definitely a fan.
The other thing is it's not that big of a visual showcase for the system, it looks nice of course, but it looks like the Wii game in HD on steroids rather than something built from the ground up for the Wii U.
