What did Retro actually DO with DKCR? Took the game as is from SNES, put a 'NSMB' coat of graphics on it that frankly anyone could, and came up with some good level design for it. That doesn't show the team is capable of really standing out. They could have got Artoon to do it and it would have been basically the same.

Assuming that Artoon's level designers are nearly as good as Retro's.

Yoshi's Island DS was """""""""""""OK""""""""""""""""". When I played DKCR there wasn't anything more memorable or cool.

Apparently there is enough difference to net DKCR six more points than Yoshi's Island DS on Metacritic.
