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 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.
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.
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 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.
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’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 😂
I really liked Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, you guys think this is a similar experience? I'm completely unfamiliar with the older releases of this game
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.
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.
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.
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….
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.
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.
I never played the original, and I’m a big Mario and puzzle fan so this is right up my alley. Super excited, it sortve reminds me of captain toad treasure tracker
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.
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
im so excited for this loved the GBA ver gamplay is really fun n additcn wen u try to 100% tryn to get all the gifts n mini marios hope more people give it a shot
