So what were other outlets thinking? starting with VGCthoughts:
“Thankfully, while most of its early levels are virtually identical to the original, the game’s fourth world is completely new for the Switch version – the first of two new worlds in the remake, and it features some of the original mechanics. The remake also introduces a co-op mode and controls random difficulty that adds points, though we can’t imagine many older players will need it to be easier.”
Here it is IGNthoughts:
“I’ve only had my hands on the first four worlds of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake so far, but it’s already doing a great job of bringing me back to when The Da Vinci Code was at the top of its game. Seller’s list and everyone still using quotes from Napoleon Dynamite was talking.”

“My short time with Mario vs Donkey Kong impressed me, even if it’s a simpler affair than other Mario games, and the co-op is an absolute game-changer and shouldn’t be underestimated.”
Vooks enjoyed it so far:
There’s a lot more to discuss with this Switch version of Mario vs Donkey Kong. There are two new worlds: co-op play and more. way, I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. I think Mario vs Donkey Kong could find a whole new audience now on Switch.”
And Pocket tactics called it a “slow and simple experiment”:
“Mario vs Donkey Kong is a casual and enjoyable experience, ultimately. While it’s hard to imagine Grandparents keeping up with the pace of a game like Wonder, Mario vs Donkey Kong is toned down enough to be enjoyed by everyone. . Maybe this is the last Mario may not be as energetically rewarding as the games, but as a remake it’s successful and shows that in the modern age, Mario can really work in almost any genre. Bring on the Mario MOBA, I think.”
