I'm assuming this will be like Donkey Kong 64 if they make it 3D and I'd really rather prefer it to be like the 3D classics type of 3D so the game can stay 2D style view. It's going to be the latter, then I hope it's true.

Rumour: EBGames taking pre-orders for Donkey Kong 3D?

YES PLEASE <3
Would be amazing, but it's a pipe dream, right?
You could always play the original in one of the many high quality, smooth functioning N64 emulators in HD...but that's not portable or 3D though

I'm a big fan of DK64! Arguably Rare's best N64 platformer. However, I sometimes think I'm the only DKC fan in the world who isn't a fan of DKCR.

Paon's a capable developer. They developed the Klonoa Wiimake, remember.

I for one am looking forward to Donkey Kong Land Returns.
I should probably get that one of these days... there've been several copies sitting on my local Best Buy's shelf for $5 for a couple months now.
Yeah, I agree.. I liked the DK: King of Swing/Jungle Climber games too... it's just (I guess) I ended traumatized after Barrel Blast.
In Canada, GameStop originally never existed, so even after the merger EBGames remained the more prominent brand. For a while they co-existed, but recently (like a few months ago), they've systematically eliminated the GameStop brand, and it's all EBGames now.
(PS you can tell OP is Canadian because of "rumour" lol)

Oh great, now i'm hyped up for something that may very well not exist, please be true!
Ahh I see, thank you
(also, don't British people write it as "rumour" too? are there Gamestops in the UK?)
I just called my local GameStop and another store in Jersey (I'm not in Jersey) still named EB Games. Both didn't have any Donkey Kong 3D listed under 3DS for pre-order.
But by the looks of it, the image was taken at an EB Games in Australia - considering the ACB ratings on the other boxes:
So someone in Aussie Land should give their local EB a call and ask if its in their system.

Right that does it.

I hope it's like DKC:R. That was one of the best games I've played in the past 10 years.
Ah, for some reason I assumed GameStop/EBGames only existed in North America.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I liked DKC:R, but for some reason I didn't love DKC:R. It wasn't even the weird control scheme, but something else in terms of game/level design. I liked the game, and I definitely had fun with it. Something didn't quite hit the high note of my favorite SNES DKC stuff. (1>>3>>>2 IMO).
lol. 2>>3>1 for me. I'd put DKCR somewhere between 2 and 3

I hope it's DK643D! I loved it on the 64!
And I also am for Nintendo buying Banjo, but give it to EAD Tokyo!

Was there ever a confirmation at E3 or something of a DK game for the 3DS?

DK was listed as one of the franchises that was currently in development for the 3DS when they first revealed the thing in E3 2010. Of course, most of the other games they listed turned out to be vaporware.
EDIT - Or maybe not. I could've sworn that "Donkey Kong 3D" was one of the games listed, but I guess not. I do know that gamefaqs put up a page for it at that time, though: http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997843-donkey-kong-3d-working-title

While I would love to see a 3D classics rendition of the original country trilogy, this is probably not it. For this, as others have said, a follow up to DK64 with BK inspired collectathon goodness would be tre cool.

Urgh, I hope not.
Dear lord, don't even tease me with such things.

Wonder if it's a new 3D game, a 3D port of DK64, or a 3D port of DKC Returns.
I'd be all over DKC Returns IF it has a few more worlds.

Nintendo usually doesn't do console to handheld ports. I think diddy kong racing on the ds was one of the last ones they did. And that was like 5 years ago.
Of course they did port the DKC series to GBA awhile back.
Somebody will probably bring up Oot3d as a port but whatever

I see it being one of two things if true.
-A 3D remake of the DK64, which I would love to be a thing.
-Or a "Donkey Kong 3D Land" which is probably more likely.
Ocarina of Time? Star Fox 64?
Remakes of games that were made over 10 years ago.

My thoughts exactly. That would absolutely kill if done right. But yeah, it's a nice thought.

Well, technically "enhanced ports," since the spruced up graphics for Zelda and Starfox are pretty amazing.
I'm not so sure how I'd feel about DK64. I didn't play much of it but I don't ever remember enjoying that game. I kind of hope it's not another 64 port but something new from Retro.
By the way, could this be the rumored NST game that's in development or was that something else since they did work on Mario VS Donkey Kong.

I don't know why there are so many people calling for a port of DK64, I'm hoping this is a brand new retro developed/inspired handheld Donkey Kong game, if so it surely must be another "must own" for the 3DS.
All this talk of Wii games getting 3DS sequels, i'd love another Epic Yarn, doesn't even have to be Kirby related.
