Donkey Kong Country Returns Coming to the Nintendo 3DS

Donkey Kong Country Returns is getting remade into a 3DS title. Obviously, the game will feature the 3D gameplay, but nothing else has been mentioned about what has changed. The game is scheduled to lauch this summer.

Meh. I loved DKCR, but it is way too soon for a remake in my opinion. I would have loved to see something new, even if it was in the same style and gameplay.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Yeah, not sure if I'll just get it. I wonder if there will be some more additions than just the 3D. But it seems to be just a port from the Wii version. And just after like 2.5 years? Wow, it feels like it's too soon, I agree. Or perhaps they're doing this to get ourselves ready for the next big Donkey Kong game, possibly at E3 2013, possibly one of the games Retro Studios may be working on.

Really? It's too soon. :what:

Another Country Returns installment?
Let me guess this Country Returns 3D for the 3DS so they'll probably have a Country Returns HD for the Wii U.

A waste of time for Nintendo here.

Why would I want a portable version when I can just play it on the Wii still?
It's not that old yet, so it's not even worthy of being remade yet. (I still need to complete some of the levels myself )

Even if I love the DK series, this is totally useless. It has only been 3 years (2.5 for Vip) since its release. They could use this time for a new DKC or even a DK64 remake which in my opinion deserves some kind of HD/3D remake. I'm glad they haven't forgotten these games, but I think there are better ways of making money.

I got excited opening this until I read now that it's a stupid remake.

 

[manasword]

Why they didn't put Dixie Kong and Kremlings?

 

[Wafflenator]

It's too soon for a remake. It's only been 3 years.

 

[gameguy1996]

Why they didn't put Dixie Kong and Kremlings?

Because it's just a remake.

 

[manasword]

I hope Paon develop a new DK title. Returning Dixie and K. Rool after 4.5 years.

Should I get this? I dont have the wii version.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Should I get this? I dont have the wii version.

If you like platforming and DK games, then yes, you should get the game. You can even play on the go and experience 3D (which is obvious).

The only downside about the game is that it will likely be at $40, while the Wii version is only $30 (received a price drop some time ago).

 

[Brookelas]

For some reason, I never got the Wii version, so I am really happy they are remaking it...

[AegisReflector]

I think they are doing a remake to compete with the Vita since Sony platforms are compatible with each other.

Nintendo did it wrong though.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

The brighter colors look better on the Wii imo. The darker colors of the 3DS just do not seem right to me. The KONG letters just seem dead on the 3DS.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Apparently, Monster Games is developing Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

 

[AtomicShyguy]

Saw this over on MPF.

But I really thought Retro would be developing this game, like they did with the Wii one.

Release date announced! Donkey Kong Returns 3D will be out in both North America and Europe on Friday, May 24, 2013!
