I'd be excited if the previous 2 DKC ports weren't so terrible. The resized sprites messed up a lot of the flow the levels had and the washed out color palettes (with no contrast option, ugh) made the game ugly as sin. Add on top of that grainy music and... well, all the ports made me do was play the SNES versions more. :\
The GBA might be more powerful than the SNES, but in no way did the DKC ports play to the hardware's strengths - instead choosing to emphasize it's weaknesses. Bleh.
