Like many of Nintendo's 3DS ports, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is coming to fill the summer lull. The company announced today that the 3D-fied port of Retro's DKC Returns will be available on May 24.

But unlike Retro's Wii version, this port is actually being handled by Monster Games, the studio behind Pilotwings Resort. The game was among the more critically acclaimed on Wii.
