Why do you guys take this as a hint for an HD remake? I don't get it.

Because they're taking it off the store right before the release of their new HD console?

hmmm, I guess. Has something like this happened before?

EDIT: They didn't take down the Kirby games or Mario games when releasing dream collection or all-stars.

That would suggest to me some kind of licensing or technical issue.

I can see it being technical, but Nintendo owns the rights to the Donkey Kong games, so I can't see it being licensing.

Aren't the Kremlins Rare owned, also the reason they weren't in DKCR on Wii?

I don't like the article very much, but here it is anyway: link

tl;dr: Nintendo owns everything.

Hope it just means that they are doing HD remakes, classic games such as the Country Trilogy should have some form of representation for those that missed the original releases.

I'd hate to pay full price for the game again, even HD but I hope to see something of Donkey Kong in the future.
