So we're making up arbitrary criteria, are we? Alright, I'll play your silly game.

8.5 from IGN, which is nearly the same score "they" (IGN is not a person) gave Tropical Freeze. What's your point?

A Metascore of 83, and a user score of 8.9/10. Wow, it's an objectively better game than Uprising! /sarcasm
"Best 3DS title" is an opinion, not a fact. Try playing
Binky's Facts and Opinions. I'm sure you'll like it.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a port of a game that sold over 6 million units, and it still managed to outsell Uprising. Tropical Freeze is exclusive to a platform that has a low install base and was released two years after Uprising. Not that it matters, since the original Donkey Kong Country (you know, the one
K. Rool is featured in)
sold over 9 million units worldwide on the SNES alone. From a franchise perspective, Donkey Kong is far above Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus.
This is a fact. You could argue that "sales don't matter", but please stop trying to present your opinions as gospel. Because they aren't, and you're just making yourself look foolish.
