Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a 3D port of the 2010 Wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns, released for the Nintendo 3DS on May 24, 2013 developed by Monster Games, instead of Retro. Nintendo revealed in a 2013 Nintendo Direct.
Differences from the Wii Version[]
As it was ported down from stronger hardware, there were some reduction in quality. The game runs at 30 fps instead of 60 fps and the graphics were downgraded significantly to fit the 3DS resolution. Since the 3DS would be awkward to shake, the motion controls have been designated to the X/Y buttons. In addition, new items were added to make the game easier including a crash guard to take an extra hit on mine-cart and rocket barrel levels and a green balloon to save you from falling. These gameplay changes were continued in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The game rewards completion of the game with an additional world of 9 levels with the 9th being the original's bonus level. There is co-op multiplayer, but it requires two copies of the game.
