Brand New Donkey Kong Game Coming To Nintendo 3DS?

According to forum member over at DKVine EB Games are now accepting pre-orders for a Donkey Kong game for the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo themselves haven’t mentioned such a game, but the image shows the pre-order box-art sitting on store shelves along with the forthcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising and Smash Bros 3DS. Perhaps we will hear something about the game at E3 in June, presuming it’s legitimate.

      1. EXELLENT i cant wait for it! it doesnt metter if its 2d mode,2d games are better than 3d trust me (they are more harder and exciter)

        1. What is your native language? ( out of curiosity)
          Also, 2D/3D mode depends on the game

          Some games are far funner and excitier Like Revelaitons and MGS3GS. Trust ME, some tings

          1. ok ur right sorry.metal gear solid 1 for ps1 was the best game but i played it on my gamecube because of 1 reason.(u know what.)

          1. >Yeah, I mean, Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time didn’t work well at all, did they?
            >Not knowing they are two of the top selling RPG games of all time
            Get out

              1. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are RPG games. Here’s why. Zelda 2 is an RPG, you talk to villagers and complete your quests one at a time. Mario 64, same thing but with toads. Ocarina of Time also follows the rules from the second LoZ game.

                So, Anon, get out.

  1. A brand new DKC trilogy would tickle my innards. If we get the original three, I’d rather have them on Virtual Console (no remakes). But I would new games in the series.

    1. peteriuss evil Clone

      DUDE YOU NEED TO FUCKING GROW SOME BRAINS IT ONLY SAYS THAT YOU CAN PRE ORDER IT, THEY MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT RELEASE DATE SO SMASH BROS CAN ALREADY BE PRE ORDERED STUPID CUNT..

    2. Yeah, Mr. Sakurai just finished work on Kid Icarus not even 6 weeks ago, so I don’t expect to hear anything about the next Smash game before E3 2013. This casts a lot of doubt on the DK3D box sitting right next to it. I’ll also assume that a Donkey Kong game would be spearheaded by Retro Studios, and I don’t think that’s what they’re working on right now. They’ve been very secretive about it but they have said it’s ‘something the fans really want to see’. That could be Donkey Kong game, but I was expecting something a little more surprising / mind-blowing to be honest. There’s also the possibility that another studio is taking the helm.

      At any rate, all speculation, and this photo is nothing to get excited about I’m afraid. Probably a couple of Gamestop employees having a bit of fun.

  2. I have eternal love for the Donkey Kong series. Donkey Kong country was one of favourite SNES games.

    Leave luck to heaven.

    1. Same here! When I played DKC: Returns I thought:
      “OMG! why It took so long?”

      I hope retro studios is working on this new title for N3DS, I believe they are as talented as the old RARE to make games.

  3. Here’s hoping it’s a Donkey Kong Country game. And that it’s by Retro Studios and brings back the regular characters and enemies like the Kremlings, Funky Kong, Dixie Kong, K Rool…

    1. I have DKC returns but haven’t played it in a while… Did they have the original characters in it? I thought they can’t bring them in because of licensing issues with Rare. It would be sick if they could because the original DKC’s were some of my favorite games of all time.

    1. DK64 seems unlikely, since that was done by Rare.And considering the return of DK Country on Wii, another Country is the more likely way to go

  4. Im hoping for a 3D form of all of the awesome DK characters that were sadly lacking in the (still wonderful) DKCR, like King K. Rool, Tiny Kong, Chunky Kong, and, my personal favorite, Lanky Kong. I would be fin with a DK64 remake too. Sadly, my better judgment tells me that this is totally fake. Why would a company take preorders for a game that most people don’t even know if it exist?

  5. Part of me really wants it to be Donkey Kong 64. I’ve been really wanting to play it (and Resident Evil 2) but there isn’t really a legal way to do it. So it’d be nice to be able to play it. But then part of me also wants to see series like Donkey Kong, Star Fox, etc. get their dues. We get tons of Mario and Zelda games but the other franchises are lacking. I want a new Metroid, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Kirby, etc. for the 3DS. I’d be happy either way, I guess. Both would be ideal. Do something original, then release a remake in about a year or two.

  7. 3D could be used in a Donkey Kong Country game in the same way that Mutant Mudds used 3D. Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii already had you jumping into the background, so 3D that would add depth would be an excellent addition.

    Also If this is a Donkey Kong 64 remake that would be awesome! Rare is allowed to make games for Nintendo handhelds, and they have done so in the past. They’ve made Banjo Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge for the Gameboy Advance and Diddy Kong Racing DS, just to name a few.

    If this does end up to be true, and the game is a Donkey Kong 64 remake, the Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are also possible. And I would give all of my money to Nintendo if the Banjo Kazooie games come out.

    1. I love Rare games for N64!
      I dream of having a collection of these games in 3D:
      -Banjo-Kazooie
      -Banjo-Tooie
      -Donkey Kong 64
      -Conker’s Bad Fur Day
      -Jet Force Gemini
      Never going to happen still…

  8. The way that article sounds makes it seem like lies, and Nintendo definitely would have announced it before putting it up for pre-order.

  19. A mix of DKC Series, DK64, and King Of Swing hopfully. Bring Dixie as a playable character. Also I wouldn’t mind Candy Kong in there (not as a playable character of course.). Hell put all of the Kongs in there. And more animal buddies this time, DKCR was lacking. And for the love of god bring the Kremlings and Bees back. They are and important part of the franchise. Also, it should have a descent amount of multyplayer. I know its asking alot but if it has all of these things it should be beast!

  23. I remember seeing talk about this on a DK forum a month ago. Basically a guy who on youtube is called “bumnumba1” gave a bsic idea of what a japanese DK site was saying and it involved a 3DS game.

  25. Donkey Kong 3D Land! Or a remake or sequel to DK64 would be nice. Speaking of which, Nintendo should make a 3D platforming Yoshi game, who else thinks so/
