The Wii game so do not come for me, therefore, in question, because even with horizontally held Wiimote, I'd have to shake to roll (seriously ?!).
Thus me this incidentally very good 3DS port of the game saved because omit a DKC part, would be a shame for a fan like me.
It can be quite classical control over the directional pad, as one is accustomed to from the Super Nintendo.
The reduced frame rate of 30 FPS instead of 60 FPS, I is not large, or at least not negatively noticeable. And, although I've been through gambled in buttery 60 FPS on the Wii U only a few months ago DKC Tropical Freeze.
I am completely satisfied with the Port, the game itself is typical DKC just terrific! For me, Donkey Kong remains the king of 2D Jump n Runs!
