While eight new (challenging) levels might be reason enough for the Donkey Kong faithful, for most it won't be enough to warrant another purchase.ĭonkey Kong Country Returns 3D will be available on 3DS on May 24. However, this extra set of levels requires beating the game all over again. The 3DS version is easily the better version, and it also includes a special "World 9" not included in the original Wii release. While DKCR's winning gameplay and amazing 3D visuals will appeal to 3DS owners that missed the game's original release, do Wii owners have reason to double-dip? Probably not. I welcome the changes, as I found the original a bit too stressful for my tastes-but gamers that expect more of a challenge can play the game with the original Wii settings. The 3DS version offers an easier experience, with Donkey and Diddy Kong equipped with three hearts instead of two, and being able to use items to more readily recover from failure. Those that played the Wii original probably have holes in their walls, thanks to its borderline-psychotic difficulty. This is definitely the technical showcase 3DS has been waiting for.

It was a perfect fit for 3D, which is why it transitions so well onto 3DS. Retro Studios' 2D platformer was always a looker, playing with depth in a way that made the game feel far more dynamic and exciting than other games in the genre. There isn't much to say about Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, given that the original Wii game is a known quality. ![]()
