I skipped DKCR on the Wii but I grabbed it for 3DS. I'm totally confident that a 3DS port of DKC:TF is totally possible on the 3DS. Like I said, aside from the characters, it's not a showcase.

DKCR only ran on 3DS with a halved framerate and sacrificed detail. Tropical  Freeze would need to  be heavily re-engineered to run on 3DS.

Guess I didn't notice because I never played the source.  DKCR on 3DS is still beautiful (screenshots won't do it justice) and I was actually pretty shocked how closely it compared to the Wii U game.

I guess you're right though.  Sacrifices would have to be made.  Character models, framerate and resolution obviously.  Maybe some other stuff like textures.  I'm not one of those "tech guys" so I don't know. I still think it could be done on 3DS and still be a faithful to the Wii U version.

It would take a huge amount of rejigging though, since even the Wii one had to be reworked. I'm not even sure it'd be worth the hassle in the end.
