Who knows. Nintendo seems to enjoy re-releasing big games. Its not much of an investment likely to retool it to be on 3DS and then add the 3D as a new feature and bang... new $40 game.

However... in DKCR the 3D effect is just that... an effect.

 

In SMG it would actually complicate the natural 3D platforming in the game and likely not allow a good user experience.


They could also add such new things as Motion Controls & Touch Screen Controls and new features, i.e. Star Fox 64 3D.

Plus side-Scrollers with 3D polygon graphics look much more better in 3D, i.e. New Super Mario Bros. 2.

 

But I'm curious about your last sentence there. I mean I have played such games as Sonic Racing Transformed 3DS & Star Fox 64 3D, and they both look awesome with the 3D effect. Could you explain more about what you mean in your last sentence?

SMG is a 3D platformer. Meaning you move in a full 3dimensional space... not to be confused with the visual effect 3D.

It was designed to be played in a 2D visual experience where the depth was based off of the orientation of the camera / character in the game. If you put it in a real 3D visual effect you'll likely create a situation where you'll disorient the user as the camera functions and depth will then be ... different. I don't think it would work well basically.

I could be over thinking it though and completely wrong.
