Nintendo 3DS Version of the Classic Wii Game Features a New Mode, Additional Levels and New 3D Graphics

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Players all over the world fell in love with many memorable, adventure-filled moments in the well-received Donkey Kong Country Returns game for Wii: jumping around the game’s lush and colorful side-scrolling levels; clinging to the side of a swinging platform; riding on a speeding mine cart; and leaping from barrel to barrel between foreground and background. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, launching May 24 for the Nintendo 3DS system, includes all these great moments, but also offers players a host of new features that were not available in the original Wii game and a beautiful new 3D makeover that makes the graphics look more impressive than ever before.

“Even if you played the original, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is optimized for portable play with new options and new levels,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “The new 3D graphics pop off the screen and add an even greater sense of depth to the layered environments.”

I’ve created the discussion thread for The Starship Damrey, which you can find right here if you desire to contribute your thoughts on the game to the discussion. I’ve added my initial impressions, and I’d be curious if anyone agrees/disagrees with me!

EB Games Australia is handing out a little bonus with Animal Crossing: New Leaf pre-orders. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive Isabelle and town hall mini figurines. It’s pretty neat – it makes me wish for something similar here!

Prior to Fire Emblem: Awakening, you could say that the series was in decline. Sales of the previous games had been decreasing, and Nintendo didn’t even bother localizing the final DS title.

So had Awakening not been a success, the franchise could have been put on hold. Nintendo’s sale manager had actually told the team that the 3DS release could be the last Fire Emblem if it saw poor sales.

Producer Hitoshi Yamagami told Hobby Consola in an interview:

“No doubt. Truth be told, sales are dropping. The sales manager of Nintendo, Mr. Hatano, told us that this could be the last Fire Emblem. Due to this progressive descend on sales, they told us that if the sales of this episode stayed below 250,000 copies, we’d stop working on the saga. I remember when I came back from the meeting and told the team ‘My God, what are we gonna do?! The end has come!’. Our reaction was clear: if this was going to be the last Fire Emblem, we had to put everything we always wanted to include. That’s how this new project was born!”
