Really makes me want to replay it. Maybe not rebuy it though.

oh, sorry, I just thought it was funny

Never played the original. So hyped.

What're you the tag police. Calm down.

Is this game reason enough to purchase a 3DS XL? I never owned a Wii, so missed out on the critically acclaimed waggle version of this.

If platformers are your favorite(or one of them) genre, I'd say "yes".

 

[dispensergoinup]

Screw barrels, I wanna breathe FIRE!

Dragon Kong 3D - Day Zero purchase.

 

[Tenki]

I don't remember this from the Wii version. Was it in?

Imo, it's one of the best Wii games, but also one of my favourite platforms ever. It's really amazing. This 3DS version has the original mode, an easier mode and 8 new levels. The only drawback seems to be a lower framerate than the original one.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No.

 

[HitokiriNate85]

...Did I see something like a mecha Donkey Kong near the end of the trailer or what?

Yeah, I think that was the only thing I didn't recognize, but I figured maybe it was something I was forgetting? It looks like it would be in World 7. Are there supposed to be additional levels in this?

Edit: I see that was answered above.

How was the frame rate on the Wii version?

 

[Revven]

Are there supposed to be additional levels in this?

Yes, a whole new world with 8 new levels.

 

[EloquentM]

How was the frame rate on the Wii version?

60

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

How was the frame rate on the Wii version?

60fps, I think they were no slowdowns or very rarely.

 

[TimeEffect]

Don't get your hopes up for Dragon Kong. The Main character would be a Donkey

 

[AirBrian]

Heh, first thing I thought of too.

 

[Terra]

Isn't this the game I have for my Wii?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Isn't this the game I have for my Wii?

Yes but with one whole new world and an "easier" difficulty option along with the regular one.

 

[UncleSporky]

Isn't this the game I have for my Wii?

No, that one was on a disc and not a cartridge, and it had 8 less levels and was not stereoscopic 3D.

 

[Revven]

Yes but with one whole new world and an "easier" difficulty option along with the regular one.

And "better" controls, don't forget that.

 

[EloquentM]

Isn't this the game I have for my Wii?

No, that was donkey long returns. This is dragon long returns.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Never had any issues with the original's controls

That's why it's in quotes, my good sir.

 

[AmanoBuff]

Looks fun as hell. Never played the Wii version, so this one is definitely a must.

 

[sixteen-bit]

But with 3D backgrounds, they can actually do more than swap out five different backgrounds and color them differently.

Didn't that have more to do with cart storage space than resources?

 

[nullset2]

Was just about to spit my tea over the keyboard because of Dragon Kong bwahaha.

I literally 100% this game yesterday! This is such an amazing little piece of software, I adore every single little piece of its level design... if anything, graphic and sound design are the only two weak links, but everything else is rock solid (well, maybe the post-game content isn't that much,

Spoiler

I'm not too hot over the mirror mode, though

). I would really love to play it with a button for rolling!

 

[rjc571]

Now I really want a game called "Dragon Kong Country Returns 3D". I'd probably be willing to overlook the massively downgraded graphics and framerate if DK suddenly gained the ability to transform into a dragon.

 

[Jotamide]

Never played the original. Excited for this one. I will probably just play it on the original difficulty level.

Same here!

 

[big black woman]

No, that was donkey long returns. This is dragon long returns.

haha at dragon long

 

[Plinko]

Piu Banane!

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, it's so insanely jaggy. Still thinking about getting it, but it's really jarring.

 

[iAmMaximus]

Dragon Kong Day One.

 

[Ridley327]

This is the same series that had a barrel that spit out normal enemies as a boss fight.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Man, it's so insanely jaggy. Still thinking about getting it, but it's really jarring.

The 3D trailer on the eShop dosn't look as jaggy. Videos make 3DS games more jaggier than they really are because they play on a higher resolution than the console.

Still sucks is only 30fps.

 

[tiny raptor]

Who is making the new levels?

Never played the original. Excited for this one. I will probably just play it on the original difficulty level.

Definitely stick to the original difficulty mode. It's part of what makes DKCR so satisfying.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

or just larger versions of normal enemies as a boss fight

assets cost money, yo!

 

[Bisnic]

How can you even make the mistake of writing dragon instead of donkey?

What was going on in your mind OP?

 

[braves01]

Anyone else looking forward to easy mode? I got pretty far on my Wii copy before surge corrupted my save and I have no interest busting my ass to get back to where I was on the original difficulty. The Wii version is just slightly harder than I'd prefer.

I was probably reading Dragon's Crown thread

 

[Parallacs]

So this is my first time playing Dragon Souls.

Why do I keep dying? I wish they made this game easier at least...

 

[Ridley327]

I guess my point is that the pre-rendered backgrounds (and sprites, of course) existed to fool people into thinking it was polygonal on a system that didn't normally do them. Not much of a reason to try and fool anyone with a polygonal look when systems can handle actual polygons these days, and you can do a lot crazier stuff with them being in realtime.

 

[Shahadan]

How was the frame rate on the Wii version?

Almost all Wii Nintendo games were 60fps. Even Galaxy

I could NOT beat those levels where you were on the little rocket and had to tap the buttons to go up and stop tapping to drop. Had to get my roomie to beat them.

 

[Bankoiia]

If you're looking for a less punishing experience I'd instead recommend Donkey Age: Origins.

And then you can recolour the resized enemy and use them yet again, it's really Gnawty.

I prefer the quirky Japanese charm of Donkey's Dogma.

 

[SMT]

Everyone's loveable ape is back for the next installment DragonBa...

What? Donkey Kong Country on a handheld? Take me back to the 90's.

See guys, it's pretty easy to be alpha-male, all you have to do is wear a tie, and pat your chest.

 

[Mogwai]

Been playing the Wii version of DKCR. It's really good, but why does DK have use that blow mechanism? I'm not into "DK-lore" but it doesn't fit a brutal monkey to be blowing flowers like a little girl.
