Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a great port of an amazing game. The extra world is a worthwhile addition, and the new easy mode should allow even more people to enjoy the ride. While the 3DS’s version obviously doesn’t look quite as nice as the Wii’s, and the lower framerate is annoying, it’s just a hair short (an ape hair, perhaps) of being right up to par.
