Trying to decide between Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Super Mario 3D Land. What do you guys think?

3D Land is a fantastic game. I also heard the port of DKCR has some issues.

From what I remember DK had framerate issues more apparent when the 3d was turned on. Go with Super Mario 3D Land.

Both are great games, but I would say 3D Land.

I dunno, I liked DKC Returns when I first played it on Wii but after going through it again on the 3DS I thought it was boring as crap.

3D Land though, man that game kicks ass. Get that.

3D land is more solid, just an all great super mario game

dkcr is good, but i feel it lacks the widespread appeal of mario platforming. donkey kong platforming is still great, but way different scale/size than 3d world.

so unless donkey kong really got you off in the 90s, land is overall a better choice

3D land but if you have the option go for the wrapping paper. Trust me the value among collectors will skyrocket.

OK, help me choose between:

• Retro Mario T-shirt for 700 coins

or

• 3D Classics Xevious for 200 coins
• Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword for 200 coins
• Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger for 300 coins

I don't know, I'm just kind of lukewarm on the stuff they have on offer. It looks like a lot of different games, but BOY is it a lot of NES games that I'm either not interested in, or NES that I already spent like $40 on buying them for the Wii so I'm good. So looking past that, I bought one thing for the Wii U, and one thing for the Wii that I didn't have but kinda wanted, so those are covered. These are the things I came up with for the 3DS offerings that I'm kinda vaguely interested in.

The Mario shirt isn't like, wowing me, but it's alright.

@bisonhero: Definitely don't get Xevious. I made the mistake of spending coins on that game a few years ago and immediately regretted it. It sucks.

I didn't care much for the original Dillon's Rolling Western. Not sure if the sequel is any better or not. Can't speak for Sakura Samurai.

I know it isn't the same thing, but my mom bought me an 8 bit Mario shirt from Walmart recently on clearance.

Yeah, that's kinda my problem, both options are functionally worthless in my mind, so I'm paralyzed by indecision. They're kinda both bad options, but I have to spend these coins on something.

I wish they had Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, but I think that game isn't poorly selling enough to warrant "let's give it away for free". Or I dunno, I could get New Super Mario Bros. 2, but I played the Wii one and I think that was enough. I wish they were offering some more interesting 3DS retail games.
