    -Is it versus or verse? Why do americans say the latter?
    -The correct term is "versus." "Verse" typically refers to a line of poetry or a stanza. However, it's possible that some people may mistakenly say "verse" instead of "versus" due to regional accents or casual speech patterns. Additionally, it's worth noting that language evolves over time, and colloquialisms or slang terms can become accepted in certain contexts. In the case of "verse" instead of "versus," it may simply be a linguistic variation that has emerged in some communities.

    The downfall of the franchise was because the ds sequels changed genre. The 1st mario vs donkey kong is a classic and actually showing the power of the gba.
    Everything after the gba original feel very bargain bin games. Even the remake look and feel like a new super mario bros game with mario vs donkey kong skin.
    I think if Nintendo want to make a new game in this sub-series they need to keep the puzzle-platformer (not doing a lemmings clone again) and change stuff like other characters like luigi/diddy kong playable or bosses. More charm and dialogue (something that’s the remake fail, the gba version have mario talking a lot especially for a gba game is rare).

      @@stripedrajang3571 did you even played or see the gba original?
      there are much more voice lines than the switch remake. because its a 2004 game the gba original re-use the donkey kong 64 voice lines (aka Grant Kirkhope the best donkey kong voice actor) and dk sound like a gorilla and actually have some lines in english like "yeah cool!". the voice actor from the remake is making donkey kong sound like a japanese guy doing chimpanzee voices in the studio.
      in the original mario vs donkey kong Charles Martinet (the voice actor of mario) have much more lines and actually laugh in cut-scenes and even talking in the credits (mario actually saying the names of "Charles Martinet" and ""Shigeru Miyamoto").

    12:26 as an European, I woulad say that Nintendo take this decision at the last minute, because of the fact that in many European (And I'm talking about very important countries, financing speaking for Nintendo, such as the UK, France or Germany) countries people are not okay with paying for something that is not physically present. The situation change but not at all and that's why many games still have DLC in physics like the Mario Kart Booster Course Pack, Splatoon 2, ANCH, also Kirby Dream Buffet, which has a physic download code relase
    I also remember that people preferred to use prepaid cards for all online purchases on console, and I knew many people who did not want to put their debit cards on the Wii U or 3DS ; switch Switch most people not use their bank info because of Switch Online so, more people buy digital content and apps/subscriptions like Netflix AppleMusic or YT Premium have made habits changes

    I love Mario vs DK on the GBA to death, but that remake is bad.
    They sucked all of the personality and charm out of Mario in the cutscenes (DK too but to a lesser extent), and removed some of his animations, they made the game stupidly easy by removing the score system and fall damage and they added an "easier mode" to this already easier than the original remake.
    The two extra worlds are not enough for me considering everything they removed from the original. Play the original, it's far better.

      They managed to make it look like a New super mario bros clone fused with mario vs dk. They removed the beautiful backgrounds (some included sunsets and night skies) for bland backgrounds. It bothered me so much that they replaced a lot of the arcade like sound effects as well from the original!

      I feel so bad for both of you 😢 here I was playing the game and put all these hours into it and was happy as hell with the purchase just to turn around and watch videos on it and then finding about people weren’t really happy with it 😢one of the main reasons I don’t listen on reviews or read comments before buying a game I don’t like being influenced by other people and thank god I did because reading what some people are saying about this game I probably wouldn’t of picked it up but I did and it turned out amazing for me I’m sorry you both didn’t really enjoy it that really sucks sincerely. Perhaps in the next life.
