Mario vs. Donkey Kong Remake Review

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 needs to remember that they have more franchise besides Mario and Zelda. Starfox is due for a comeback.

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

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.
