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.
Miyamoto on long Wii U load times and wait for update, system will be “very much improved” by summer
Nintendo is preparing two Wii U updates for Wii U. The first, due next month, “adds new features and further improvements to the user experience”. It should specifically speed up load times between software.

Shigeru Miyamoto responded to this very question in a recent interview:
3DS owners in Europe will be able to purchase Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked one week early. Publisher Ghostlight has confirmed a new March 29 date for the game. Originally, Overclocked was expected to launch on April 5.
