Mario vs Donkey Kong is the first big Nintendo Switch game of 2024 from Nintendo, but is it for the $50? Cameo: cameo.com/rgt_85 Twitter: / rgt_85 Facebook: / rgt85
I’ll be picking up the physical version. These “end of console life” Nintendo games always end up becoming pretty rare. I actually like the game too. I think the stages get pretty addictive later on in the game.
I remember as a child never making it past the beginning when it's like your playing the arcade game. I couldn't have been any older then 6 or 7. I came back to it sometime when I was in my early teens to try it and was blown away what came after the intro. It really is such a great gb game!
I loved Donkey Kong 94 and recently played this game on my 3DS and can attest that unlike the several "march of the minis" sequels which are about guiding the minis, this one feels similar as a sequel to that game! It's puzzles with a bit of platforming, and you'll catch several little sound effect and gameplay nods to the original.
I was going to buy it anyways but after the demo and seeing how clean it looks, how smooth it runs and how fun it is its a definite buy for me. Amazing what a demo of quality does huh.
I played the original so much as a kid. Played the demo asap and it felt just like how i remembered. A couple changes i noticed was that you don't have to jump on top of things to pick them up. Except for cans and enemies. I also noticed that Mario doesn't fall on his back when jumping from high places.
I wondered about the not “splatting” from high falls thing, but just figured it was that way in the original. Even though I never played the original, I noticed right away because that’s what happens in DK’94, which I love. You tumble from a certain night, splat momentarily before getting up from bigger fall, and land on your head and die from an even bigger fall.
Must say I got a lot of Mario games for my switch …3d. All stars , 3d Mario, Mario rpg, Mario kart, as far as Nintendo big games into 2024 I’m looking forward to grabbing this
I grew up with the GBA version, and it definitely gets pretty hard and complicated as you go. Especially if you want the star ranking its hard, you pretty much have to speedrun it
I loved thos GBA game, but $50?!?!?! This is a $30 *at most*. Nintendo is just being greedy at this point. This was nowhere near AAA levels of development to justify that price.
I recently played through the GBA game (it was a 3DS Ambassador game!) And for anyone interested but on the fence on what it's like--there are definitely some deeper challenges as the game goes on. If you get good enough at platforming and triple jumps etc, you can also overcome certain challenges a little easier and feel like you earned it. +, It does all of the worlds twice! (normal levels, and then after the final boss, there's "plus" levels with a new objective and feel). $50 seemed too steep for me for what this is, hence playing the original instead since I had access...but I do think the demo looked and played nicely and the levels will be high quality and give a few hours of playtime for anyone who decides to purchase.
The voucher system has affected my perception on price. Mario Wonder and Tears of the Kingdom are the same price as this and those are vastly better experiences. While this was fun on GBA, I will not be getting this at the launch price.
I’ll pick it up but no rush. I’ve played this series on Wii U and other consoles. If it ever gets a 30% or more discount then sure. It should’ve dropped at $40.
The people who will be picking this game up will be the Nintendo switch collectors that need one of every Nintendo released game, and probably the little kids that have never played the original
I think I am going to cave in and get it….I enjoyed the 3ds and WiiU versions but never played this one…..don’t care for the pricing, but it looks too cool to pass up….
I’ll be checking it out but I’m really just interested in the additional content. Played the original a ton, have it on my everdrive. But because Nintendo I’ll check it out 😂
Got this not too long ago for under €30 and ive been having a fantastic time playing this. Its just what i needed from playing 3d adventure/shooter games... its just a very charming mario puzzle game, never played this game on the gba.
What's great for me is that I was always a Playstation/Xbox gamer. Most of these games on Nintendo are absolutely new to me. Mine arrives tomorrow. Physical copies only.
Played the demo. I recognize what he means by the stiff controls. I believe this is on purpose to mimic how mario moves on the original Donkey Kong for atari.
They should've remastered the gameboy version of mario vs donkey kong, or donkey kong, as it was called. That would've been better. This one is still a pretty good game though.
Never played the original, just got the Switch game. It's about what I expected, still early on so I'm guessing that the difficulty will go up, but I like it.
Nintendos problem, or maybe our problem. Is Nintendo never made their games more challenging, its always been hand holding. Even older pokemon was harder than new pokemon games. If they are going to remake these games they should make them harder.
I got a $50 gift card for Christmas and I have everything else I want for now. Guess my gift card goes to this, it’ll be a fun little couch co op with my wife.
I pre-ordered this months ago. Can’t wait to play, especially as I never played the original GameBoy advance game and it looks as though the same level of love and care they put into Super Mario RPG is clear to see.
Cool looking game but $50 I think is too much. I’d like to see it knocked down to $40 at least. It doesn’t look like a whole lot of time or budget was put into this one, though I’d imagine it’s still a fun game. I’ll probably buy it at some point eventually (because near end of life games tend to be a bit valuable), but I’m holding off a bit when I knock a good portion out of my backlog.
Side thought, thirty dollars in 2004 adjusted for inflation today 48.72. So really from that standpoint it's a good enough deal, if you enjoy it enough anyhow
2D Nintendo games all look the same to me these days. There are slight artistic differences or variations in frame rate, but they release so many 2D rainbow cartoons that they all blend together now. At least Metroid looked different by default.
I’ll be picking up the physical version. These “end of console life” Nintendo games always end up becoming pretty rare. I actually like the game too. I think the stages get pretty addictive later on in the game.

@relinquishh i might get it then 😊
trust it gets more challngen n tricky puzzles
if it's gonna be a physical release i want it
We wouldn't expect anything less from a low test beta pos
It is, and that's one of the big reasons I'm grabbing it.
It is and I want it :)
It has a physical release :)
Physical Media is the best
If you go for 100%, then you'll get a lot of mileage out of this game. Genuinely one of the best from GBA
Yes😊
Yea 10 hrs
I found it really enjoyable
I hope it’s at least almost as rewarding as DK’94… though I don’t expect it to reach that high… bought it anyway of course.
looks like a fun relaxing game. I like to unwind after work i dont want to be super focused
It is , it’s my cozy game it has a nice soft art style and simple fun stages that aren’t too hard in a good way
Spot on, a nice and charming, simple puzzle game. With a very relaxing vibe, especially that music.
Preordered the physical months ago. Donkey Kong on the GameBoy is one of my favorite GB Games ever. Had to have this one.

I loved Donkey Kong 94 and recently played this game on my 3DS and can attest that unlike the several "march of the minis" sequels which are about guiding the minis, this one feels similar as a sequel to that game! It's puzzles with a bit of platforming, and you'll catch several little sound effect and gameplay nods to the original.
@@andreweilermusic I wish we could've gotten proper sequels, with this style of actually controlling Mario. The minis got oversaturated fast 😮💨.
@@andreweilermusicyes it is like dk1-3 and dk94. Last one.

This is a game I wouldn’t get day one. I’d wait for a sale or someone selling it for $30 or less on marketplace.

And then u finally finish all 6 stages and there’s even more after that ! I thought I had passed the game
Paying full price for this is crazy lol. But Nintendroids will do it
It's not a full price game.

So clearly a game for toddlers. Baby’s first Mario. $50 is robbery. $19.99 is more like it.
Loved playing this as a kid I actually played it on my game boy advance sp good memories
This was one of my favorite games on the Game Boy Advanced. I’m getting it.
It would be cool if they added in like Super Mario World and maybe Mario Paint and just consider it a collector bundle
Am I interested? Yes. Am I interested at $50? Nope! it needs to be in the $20 range and I'll buy it.
Most of the $50 Switch games go in sale often
Wario Ware, Switch Sports and Miitopia were $30 the same year they came out
I'm sure it's fun, but it looks like a 2012 $5 mobile game.

Good thing it had a demo, if not I’d most likely not buy it but I think it’s worth buying
Played the demo. I recognize what he means by the stiff controls. I believe this is on purpose to mimic how mario moves on the original Donkey Kong for atari.
This is like a $25 game tops. There are indy games similar to this that are $10 or less.
This is a must buy for me
Nintendo thriving off that nostalgia bait as always.
This series is super fun, its probably worth it for puzzlers :)
I’d pay no more than $29.99 for this game. $50 in this economy is crazy! I rather spend it on something better
Kinda weird the gba one was remade and not the dual screen ones that don't have a dedicated NSO app.
I know y'all haven't played DK on gameboy.
It has the Nintendo magic.. it’s definitely a kids game for the most part. Looks nice and has great sound too.
I already pre-ordered with GameStop
No I would not buy any more switch games until it's confirmed that the switch to will be backwards compatible.
They should've remastered the gameboy version of mario vs donkey kong, or donkey kong, as it was called. That would've been better. This one is still a pretty good game though.
The game play mechanics to me felt very chunky drove me nuts. I unfortunately could not get into it.

Mario vs DK remake looks like it's made for toddlers years 3-5
I bought the first game on the original gameboy for £4 and loved it. But I probably wouldn't pay £50 for it.
Never played the original, just got the Switch game. It's about what I expected, still early on so I'm guessing that the difficulty will go up, but I like it.
I preordered it, and played the demo. I played the original, and I grew up with donkey Kong 94 on Game Boy, so it’s definitely nostalgic for me.
I have this game on 3ds. Love it

It is a preference thing. I bought the game yesterday and couldn’t stop playing. I found it to be challenging in some levels however had ton of fun.
I really hope they come out with Mario Odyssey II
with the switch 2
Bro there’s so many switch games I own that I haven’t played much of and now the switch 2 is coming
Best review I’ve seen in ages; literally years.
All the budgeting went into Mario Wonder.
Nintendos problem, or maybe our problem. Is Nintendo never made their games more challenging, its always been hand holding. Even older pokemon was harder than new pokemon games. If they are going to remake these games they should make them harder.
I wouldn’t pick it up personally
Why is that?

And then you’ll complain in 5 years when the game is $100 on the after market

I'm not going pick it up. The original still holds up today and still have fun playing that one . Should have been a whole new games
Good for you. Have a cookie.
I played the Demo and im thinking and it felt addictive yet easy but relaxing.
I will definately pick it up online, yarrrrhaaarrrr!
If this is a success, then I wanna see them remake DK 94 too
Gotta try that Demo first
Great idea
Yeah thanks for the demo, cancelling pre order that is for sure, save myself $50 THANKFULL. Thanks fort DEMO Nintendo
I pre-ordered this months ago. Can’t wait to play, especially as I never played the original GameBoy advance game and it looks as though the same level of love and care they put into Super Mario RPG is clear to see.
Cool looking game but $50 I think is too much. I’d like to see it knocked down to $40 at least. It doesn’t look like a whole lot of time or budget was put into this one, though I’d imagine it’s still a fun game. I’ll probably buy it at some point eventually (because near end of life games tend to be a bit valuable), but I’m holding off a bit when I knock a good portion out of my backlog.
I'd say it's going to be $30-$35 during the holidays. I got enough backlog to keep me busy.
The only thing that would make this worth getting is if you can play as Donkey Kong.
And you can't.
Side thought, thirty dollars in 2004 adjusted for inflation today 48.72. So really from that standpoint it's a good enough deal, if you enjoy it enough anyhow
I never played the original so ill probably pick this one up. This is one of these games that I would have to do a 100% run on.
Yes since i never played it before this is my first time!
" Should you stop making that stupid face on your thumbnail previews ?" -- Yes.
I just finished playing the demo, and I’m genuinely impressed with it! Definitely getting the full game when it comes out!
2D Nintendo games all look the same to me these days. There are slight artistic differences or variations in frame rate, but they release so many 2D rainbow cartoons that they all blend together now.
At least Metroid looked different by default.
It's what you get going from 2d sprites to 3D model Animation
Im sad that the only reason most ppl care about this remaster is because it MIGHT mean more donkey kong for the switch. Just enjoy this masterpiece!
I wish nintendo would release a GOOD game
It's more of an old school donkey Kong but with much more levels and a modern take
