I'm glad I waited on the Wii release, then.

This is a cash grab and nintendo know it. The new content should be dlc.

Persona 4 Golden should have been DLC for the PS2 version.

I did not think you were prone to be missing out on a great platformer, Wario! It's a damn good game, one of the best platformers this gen.

P4 had tons more content than this game is going have added to it, not mention dlc on PS2 yeaaah. Nintendo needed to beef their release schedule so they are doing re releases / re makes now. We have seen this with this game and WWHD. I expect more to come in the future. The reason I let the HD remakes get away is because theres a decent difference between the title and remake however the 3DS version of this game hardly looks different to the Wii version it actually looks worse.
The release isn't saying the barrel roll is new (as obviously ground pounding isn't either...), it says new surprise after all the special stages are done.

Even though this post doesn't make any sense, I support the intent behind the statement.
I have an unplayed copy of Radiant Dawn waiting on me to finally finish Path of Radiance!

Neither Wii nor PS2 games are capable of receiving DLC, so I do believe my comparison does make sense. I swear, people will make shit up just so they have an excuse to complain. Games get ported to other platforms frequently, so what makes this particular instance so reprehensible?
What's so wrong with them releasing a game again? I've never understood that mentality. If you don't want it, don't buy it, it's pretty simple. I mean, it's not even on the same console, the people who buy this one are likely a different market who'll get to experience a game for the first time.
If you're complaining because you bought the original, it's been three years. I think that's enough time.

It feels like a completely useless port, and resources are devoted to it.
Out of all the Wii games... I like DKCR but this is just so unexciting to me.

3 years I would expect a sequel not this. I definitely would welcome more people being able to experience his game but its like if Sony released old ps3 games with added content on Vita. Its just obvious what they are doing and I will not support it. I definitely do not mind if other people support it because I know this is just my way of purchasing.
I'll wait for GAF to buy it first to see the extent of this additional content...then will buy, as the Wii game was fantastic, with a perfect balance of rewarding gameplay and challenge. I've never understood the complaints about the rocket barrel levels, they were never all that tough for me...
Retro Star Fox confirmed!
While it would be nice to have the option, online Co-op in a platformer sounds ehh.

I microwave steaks.
That's what I did, to make up for the difference. Didn't care for the stupid motion controls, so this should be great to revisit.

There is a downloadable 3d clip on the 3ds eShop, so you can get to see. I think this game is better enjoyed on the tv screen, cause it has amazing details and on the little screen of the 3ds the kongs just look tiny in many instances.

Idk the game fills out the 3DS catalog nicely and should be a nice port. Unlike the donkey land games back in the day on gb. It will probably sale well too.a good game gets a port with a reworked control scheme so now more people can enjoy it if they couldn't before.
why are people complaining again?
Dear Mudkips,
We also have a vast selection of online games you can enjoy on your Nintendo 3DS (like Mario Kart 7, Heroes of Ruin, Kid Icarus Uprising, Resident Evil Revelations), including the series on which your username is based on. We also just released Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon which has a separate multiplayer mode you might enjoy.

In any case, can't wait. I was planning on buying the Wii version again since I never got to finish it. Guess I'll just get this one.

Ah, you're right. I now see exactly what you did there.
No idea. Maybe just because it's Nintendo?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Just...just let him pass.
In terms of platformers, I've found ppl seem to struggle with momentum inputs that have a weight imbalance or slow and varied rates acceleration etc.; those that make sense and are intuitive but require a knack to calibrate effectively.
If you're good at that, and are decisive in your actions (instead of fumbling between up and down or left and right etc) then you should ace those levels.
Other example: star ball rolling levels in Mario Galaxy.
It is. Via Wii mode.

I'd love to see Golden Temple become more of an actual Lost World like DKC2/3's then the single level it was in the final game. The cut VB-parody levels in particular would be awesome on the 3DS.
He's one of the last signing bastions for Michel Ancel love I see on this forum so I feel he's fine to have backwards ass opinions about more mainstream stuff.
Maybe as a secret final boss for Golden Temple? I wouldn't see it happening though
since they probably want to save him for Smash U
I think you meant "pants"

A platform on handheld has a big plus over the home console version though, which is portability.
honestly, the worst part of the game probably won't be fixed, which is the weird double-jump timing thing. that had nothing to do with motion controls, so i doubt monster will touch it.
i genuinely enjoy the games i've played from them, though.

Yeah, that timed bouncing off enemies thing was a terrible idea, especially since they double stacked the button with Diddy's barrel jet input. I can't fathom why they changed it from the Rare DKC games where you just held it down.
Still, control issues and all I still personally thought DKCR > NSMBW.
