  • 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."

    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....

    I'd buy it for 20 bucks tops. Can't justify full price in this.

    How can anyone justify this to be anywhere over 15 dollars?

    Imagine if Sony or Microsoft did a game like this...
    We gamers are far to tolerant towards the mediocre games Nintendo puts out at full price.
    The same goes to the power of the hardware. The Switch was underpowered 2017.

    They should have remade Donkey Kong ‘94. That game is fantastic.

      @jalene150 4 місяці тому

      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..

    Lol. This guy is talking like the second in the series is the original.
    Bud, this game came out on Gameboy in the early 90s.
