- Mario vs. Donkey Kong reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Nintendo Switch.
"Coming in the wake of Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s psychedelic splendour, Mario vs. Donkey Kong’s update of the 2004 Game Boy Advance version is a markedly more modest Mario adventure in scope, but I still enjoyed puzzling my way through its trap-riddled rooms while they lasted - particularly those found in its playful pair of brand new worlds that have interesting new takes on the decades-old mechanics. The lopsided difficulty of its main levels could have perhaps been better smoothed out so that it becomes more challenging as you go rather than easier, and some occasional control flaws seemed below the standard I’ve come to expect from Nintendo platformers, but its completely overhauled art is packed with personality and its two-player co-op mode puts a fun new spin on familiar gameplay. Mario vs. Donkey Kong might not be as polished as a Mini-Mario toy fresh off the assembly line, but it's just as full of charm and fun to play with." - Hry
Nintendo needs to remember that they have more franchise besides Mario and Zelda. Starfox is due for a comeback.
No. DK Adventure - 3D!
this is pure business games title have most success deserve more game series in future.......
It's weird that Star Fox entirely skipped the Switch era (Unless you are counting the StarFox DLC in Starlink). Metroid Dread exists, but a new Star Fox game is years away
Star fox adventure 2 and dk adventure 2
They don't need to remember anything. They're a business. They're going to use the franchises that sell.
Who else wants to see a Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Part 2?
YESSSS
No one
It gotta be coming
Captain Toad: Tears of the Mushroom Kingdom
This looks very much like a "last year of the Switch" game
Maybe but the Princess Peach game doesn't
LMAO this was kinda accurate
@@wogardrodriguez2671that game will be 8 hours max....
@@Bleedblue6487 So just like Spiderman 2 lol
@@wogardrodriguez2671 Spiderman 2 was great.
Just can't justify $50 for this
Ryujinx
Honestly it looks like something that could be a phone game for $10-15
Just screams "emulate me" at that price
Would be a day 1 buy for me if it was $1
Poors
Why isn’t it a Mario vs. Donkey COLLECTION with build in DESIGNER like Mario Maker? The package is far too small for the price point.
So DK is a scalper?
Dk suffers from FOMO 😔
Lol
He’s the Phoenix Resale of the jungle 😂
Besides Mario, Pokémon or Zelda, how about a new F-Zero game.
No way they are charging 50 dolars for that happy meal game
The game looks fun, but it should be 30$. 40$ max.
Random but remember the dragons and fairy pc games McDonald’s happy meals used to give
Typical Nintendo practices on first party games.
69.99
your so right it should of been 70....
New console coming soon, 80% of the calendar are remakes
Missed opportunity on making this a remake collection with both MvDK games.
nah, this should've been a remake collection of the first MvDK game along with DK '94. leave the MvDK sequels out of this.
@@jclkaytwo Replaying DK '94 now. Still holds up!
Both? There’s lots of sequels what one are you talking about?
It looks like a fun “pass the time” kinda game but the price isn’t justified.
What’s more, Nintendo has advertised this as a “mainstream” game, even though it’s a gba game just remade. They need to release games like this as side notes to bigger and better titles with Donkey Kong and Starfox at this point.
That’s how the original GBA game felt like too lol but it was a fun time
Full price for this though is rough
They should have remade donkey kong 94 instead
Didnt think Id like it, gf bought it anyway, loved it. Its addictive, fun, engaging and surprisingly challenging.
Hearing the reviewer say "scooping up all the mini mario toys and shoving them into his sack" is... A line that was said out loud.
Feels like they should have remade the 1994 Gameboy version of Donkey Kong instead.
Why not both? They're both great.
Yeah that game is monumentally better
LOVED that game.
The pixel graphics looked great on the GBA at the time. You have to realize how small the screen was, and when you stretch them out of course it will look bad.
"mario vs dk is no celeste or supermeatboy" who tf was comparing
Yeah lol
that's criticism these days, unfortunately. cheating out of original thoughts.
right it's a puzzle game with lite platforming not a 2d platformer ffs
Odd comparison
How is this in any way a masochist platformer? Why was the comparison even made? lmao
They gave it a score
What ? How do you know that ?
@knuclear20Oxbut you only have five fingers/four fingers and a thumb
ye no you're a liar@knuclear20Ox
Thanks man
Pffft lol.
A GBA remake for full price 😂
how much did the gba version cost back then?
Finally Nintendo gets a honest review. This is a game of 10$ not 49$
Definitely a "Wait for it to be $20 on eBay" game.
@@BM-wh5qk I’m playing the steam deck version if you catch my drift
@@BM-wh5qkso 10 years from now lmao
I'm still getting this game regardless
my guy is disappointed with the parabola
Almost nothing new except for the graphics. This should be $40 at best. But it's great, new-generation family game.
MORE TRAP FILLED THAN THE BILLBOARD TOP 100 CHART IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice writing using abundant alliteration!
Tell you what isn't full of personality, the way this reviewer reads the script
The score is 7
Congratulations
Spoiler alert 🚨
Thank you.
It always is
It would be an 8 if the price was $40
1:15 you forgot "OSHA violator" for Mario Maker
Not a day 1 for me, but looking forward to getting it
Yeah. Day 2 for me.
sale is where is at, at $25 max.
@@adriantovias8681Lol you know clearly Nintendo never lowers the price.
Zelda and other games prices are untouched.
@@adriantovias8681Good luck with that Nintendo never puts games for sale. They have games that are five years old that are still full price
Do they even get that cheap? There some games 5 - 7 years old and still selling for 50+
Please stop constantly going up and down in pitch when you read the review out, it’s so weird and distracting
It’s annoying af 😂
Don’t you have better things to worry about?
@@houseofconflict5808 he was throwing a suggestion out while watching the video. What are you on
Stop making me notice things
The cadence of this..REVIEW... is so hard to listen to....
This series was always surprisingly fun engaging. People are saying this looks like a smartphone game, but it came out before that standard was set. Still, $50 for an old GBA game is mmm... not appetizing.
Wish they would have remade Donkey Kong 94
Why do people care if they're first or if they say the score? Do they get a cookie ir a prize? Or are they just twats?
I’m guessing saying first is like some personal achievement, as for the score, that’s for people who don’t watch the video and just want to get the results
It’s children who have nothing better to do
What's a twat?
youtube gives plaque once you reach a certain threshold being the first viewer. its similar to content creators when they reach certain subscribers count but for viewers.
Hahaha canada
Oh wow- it looks like an easy Kaizo- especially without the power ups.
Isn't this a remake of a remake? The OG was on game boy, no?
Think I’ll save the $50 and just replay the original now this has reminded me of it.
As someone who grew up playing the sequel on the DS, it’s nice to see it on the switch but disappointing that they didn’t remake all three games into one package. It’s definitely not worth full price it’s worth more like $20
Looks pretty fun
Why couldn't it have been an all new sequal instead of a warmed over remake? Lazy.
1:24 - 1:58 Ouch Such a visual contrast
Seems fun but not $50 fun
I'd love it if Nintendo remembered that they own more than just previous Mario, Zelda, and DK games. Let's get something from their early days. I'd love a MACH RIDER reboot. Their original surprise female lead NES game!
Why do these keep getting longer? 5 minutes is more than enough to spit out a review
what's wrong with being more thorough?
Insert Gen Z attention span joke here
Can we get another zack and wiki game!!!
Every video game company needs to remember we might want something NEW. Everything is a remake
Mario the wealthy industrialist and Donkey Kong the thief
Of course Donkey had to be black
8:10 Rushed Gaming Journalist Moment: The game restricts you from backflipping onto ladders. This is deliberate and intentional for balance.
4:48 what is he yappin about?
He’s saying he wants your meat, boy
Let me guess; they gave it a 7?
Bro, spoilers!!
oh wow did'nt even know it was a remake lol
This just like the one that came out for the gameboy advanve only with cleaner graphix 😂
This better than the GameBoy Advance version!
Especially in graphics and sound especially the GBA original, looked more pixelated than An Atari 2600 game, and the sound was more scratcher than a Sega Genesis game. The remake is a marked improvement on both those areas.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 The graphics looks kinda generic in the remake, the original easily stands out more in style
Is rhis Charles Martinet?
OMG the sing-song in the narrator's reading makes this difficult for me to get through
the various enemy toypes
Metroid prime 4 where are you?
It really makes you feel like you are Mario v Donkey Kong
60 dollars for a 6 hour game remaster
4*
$30 bucks in my country
This looks like a fan game
Nintendo don’t show love to no one else except Mario and Zelda …where is star fox dinosaur planet remake
my bro was annoyed with his son for wasting his lifestash in a mario game
Funny how they never even mention the $50.
Enough Mario Nintendo, give me Metroid
Exactly. Prime 4 or bust.
“Put a strain on the partnership” - did you get pissed off at your son for dying loads? 😂😂😂😂
This should have been on the Switch Expansion Pass. Nintendo doing some shady things charging people for the Expansion Pass then releasing this for $50. Not cool on their behalf, reeks of greed.
They won't stop if enough if people will keep buying them. Show your opinion with your wallet.
Actually the last two years have been the worst charting years for rap or (trap music) since the beginning of rap music. There been articles about it. Last year was time we went without a number one rap song and album
astrologist: "these artists must be pisces. look at all this imagination."
Classic never fails
9:50 Verdict!
The original had wayyyy better music, along with the opening cutscenes, also the opening intro music is way off. They just polished this, which is ok but they took away a lot of key elements of the game. The score system is gone as well, drop an update and let us use the original music along with the original music cut scenes. They offered it in Mario party superstars so why not here as well
Nintendo running low on ideas.
Nintendo has a plan, unlike Sony and especially Microsoft😂😂😂
Nintendo games are timeless
@@pasarbunul4149they are simply the best.
Should’ve included the original game boy version for free as well
How much is it? Like 5 bux?
It's 50 bucks
@@deontebanks7806 dang
Multiply that by 10
reviewer sounds bored out of his gourd
It's Tristan. He is always weird with reviews.
They gave it a 10
I’d like to see a new punch out game next
It makes you feel like you're Mario
Looks like a $15 game
A NEW Mario Vs Donkey Kong was 8$ on the DSi 😭😭😭
Why not a wario world
they reviewed mario vs donky kong youre welcome
This is a B-tier mario game from game boy advance lol, $50 for that is overpriced.
dkc4 plz
Really loved the GBA game but the price isn’t worth it.
The demo is great
I'd buy it for 20 bucks tops. Can't justify full price in this.
bro snuck in a "gorilla grip"
First 7 from IGN that is a bit too generous
0:02
Does no one remember this game on gameboy color?
Crazy how Nintendo keeps making the same games and people are buying them.
>NEW SWITCH GAME
>it's a GBA game...
Hey GBA games were great. This one definitely wasn't though.
Nintendo must be laughing so hard by just making remakes and making tons of money of off them.
And I'm here for it all, happy to depart with my hard earned cash....
Looks like a 6 at best
Where’s the helldivers review?
They gave it a 4/10 on their website
mmm, maybe
Why buy this when Cyberpunk is $30 on Steam rn 😂
Eh Donkey Kong looks cute in this game.
They should have remade Donkey Kong ‘94. That game is fantastic.
That would require actual effort. Also ‘94? Don’t you mean Donkey Kong 64?
94 as in 1994. Hes talking about the original Donkey Kong Country released on the SNES.@@jalene150
Dang ign make fun of sonic but not Waluigi 😭
That's it! They should make a Waluigi game! There you go Nintendo! A other IP you decidedly not go forward with..
