Donkey Kong Country Returns is making a comeback. Today during a Nintendo Direct video presentation, Nintendo announced Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for a launch on the 3DS this summer in North America and Europe.

According to Reggie Fils-Aime, president and COO of Nintendo of America, “This version of the game is being rebuilt for Nintendo 3DS.”

A 3D video of Donkey Kong Country Returns is available to download now in the 3DS eShop.

The game originally launched for the Wii in November 2010 behind a positive critical reception. It was developed by acclaimed Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios and sold nearly 5 million units as of April 2011.
