  • 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."

      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

    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....

    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

      That's it! They should make a Waluigi game! There you go Nintendo! A other IP you decidedly not go forward with..
