A alteration that won't effect some of you, and while we'll take a look at the values that Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D preserves, I'm convinced that this game has not reached its full potential, partly due to the process of adaptation, partly due to its original design. With that practice I've gone from excitement to disappointment. And the latter is the only one that counts. However, in videogames it's known that theory is one thing and practice can be quite another. I thought, great! I can enjoy this jewel again and anywhere (in 3D, with extras) and complete it 100% this time. Now, two years and a half later, Monster Games squeezes the Texan effort into a little 3DS card. It had been many years since SNES series, and with the Wii game, Retro Studios not only managed to honour Rare's work, but also perfectly adapt it to the console's control methods, and leave its own stamp on the franchise with a hard-as-nails, yet always enjoyable, platforming design. Full disclosure: I loved the original Wii release of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
