Mario vs. Donkey Kong Remake Set to Launch on Nintendo Switch

The game features recreated levels, new additions, and changes designed to make it more approachable and kid-friendly.

  • Mario vs. Donkey Kong, a remake of the original Game Boy Advance puzzle-platformer, is set to launch on February 16 for Nintendo Switch.
  • The remake features 1:1 recreations of the original's levels, with a visual boost and some new additions, including two entirely new worlds.
  • Changes in the remake include the removal of high-score levels and the introduction of a casual mode, designed to make the game more approachable and kid-friendly.
  • The game retains its core gameplay loop, where Mario moves through bite-sized 2D platforming levels turned into small puzzles.
  • Despite some criticism about the decision to remake a niche GBA puzzler instead of creating a new installment, the game is praised for its nostalgic appeal and high-quality additions.
