Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D isn’t being made by Retro. Rather, Monster Games is handling the port. A rating on the OFLC lists the studio as the game’s author (or developer).

Monster Games’ previous work includes Excite Truck, Excitebots, and Pilotwings Resort.

A recent finding on LinkedIn indicated that Monster Games was making some sort of 3DS title. Based on the OFLC entry, it would appear that Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is the project in question.

Wii U error won’t let Japanese users access eShop, firmware update, DQX beta

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Some Wii U owners in Japan are having issues launching the eShop and are also unable to apply the latest firmware update. Instead, they’re receiving error code “105-3102”. This also means that it’s impossible to start up Dragon Quest X’s new Wii U beta at the moment.

The issues are caused a program inside the console, Nintendo says, which will soon receive a patch. Users can expect an update sometime this weekend.
