A remake of Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct online presentation. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D will be released this summer in Japan, North America and Europe exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
I don’t think so, we’ll have loads of news on the new Mario 3D game for the Wii U. On top of that we should hear about Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart for Wii U. I’m hoping we’d hear about the new 3DS Zelda too since they have mentioned it before, we may not see anything from Zelda Wii U yet but defo 3DS. And maybe announce that they are working on MM remake, since we should have new 3DS Zelda by late 2013-early 2014 then maybe release MM remake late 2014! That’s my hope anyway!
Also Metroid for Wii U should be announced at e3 and we’ll have more news on Pokemon X&Y
I realise you said all Wii U and small 3DS which I can understand, but it won’t be like last year, it’ll be so much better!
You guessed it! Although the government recently made companies from the likes of apple and Microsoft come to Australia to explain/ justify why our prices are so much higher than elsewhere so hopefully something will change :)
If this is just a port of the Wii version, it’s not worth buying. I only played like the first world (or first several stages) in Donkey Kong Country Returns, and never continued. I lose interest SOOOOO fast these days. But probably because I have too darn many games.
Ace, I loved the Wii one.
does e3 even matter now at this point
E3 will be like last year, all WiiU, and a small 3DS show
I don’t think so, we’ll have loads of news on the new Mario 3D game for the Wii U. On top of that we should hear about Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart for Wii U.

I just meant in terms of what’ll take up most of the time on the main stages.
oh i see, soz yeah I suppose that makes sense since a lot of 3DS stuff is being announced now!
Is it still Retro?
I think it’s a port of the Wii version, so maybe someone else did the port?
Oh, really? :/
I already have the Wii version so…
Unless they add a ton of new levels and had 2 system co-op, and other new features, doubt i’ll be buying it.
No motion controls for pounding. Isn’t that a good thing?
Oh dont get me wrong that is a good thing, i’ll probably enjoy this game alot more.
I’ll wait to see the 3D trailer on the eShop
I hope it isn’t. Their talent is better used elsewhere
3DS confirmed for Master Race Handheld
Well there was a photo at EB games about a donkey kong country game , so i guess the myths are true
:o ive been playing my Vita ALOT more than my 3DS, now with all these games coming out for both i feel like ima go crazy now :) in a good way.
Sweeeeeeeet!!!! Got DKCR on Wii ofcourse but i will get on 3DS aswell if good.
so this is just the wii version if so i might pass
Yup, its a remake.
No controller wagging is enough for me too purchase it.
DKCR was amazing on the Wii. I’m guessing this might have some new levels, or even be a completely new game. I’m getting it either way.
Is this what Retro was making or are they doing something else?
No, they have a Wii U game in development.
I’ve been wanting a 3DS Donkey Kong game for ages now. Can’t wait.
Damn. I was thinking about finally getting the Wii game and then they dropped this on me. I wonder why they didn’t make it for Wii U in HD though.
They might be planning an entirely new DKC game for the Wii U, so they decided the 3ds would get the remake.
Awesome! I’ve been meaning to pick it up for wii since it release but preoned copies are still $80-90. And I can’t justify the purchase
WHere do you live? I can buy it new for $30.
But….it costs $30 new on Amazon and a lot of other places..
Are you really talking about DKCR?
Australia
Got it. Damn, that sucks…
