"Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Nostalgic Remake or Frustrating Feud?"

TL;DR Summary
Nintendo has been remaking old titles for the Switch, with Mario vs. Donkey Kong being the latest. The game, originally released in 2004, offers precise, constrained gameplay with a focus on puzzle-solving. The new Switch version includes additional worlds, a "Casual" play style, and new modes. However, the article argues that the 1994 version of Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, known as Donkey Kong '94, would have been a better choice for a remake due to its more inspired and inventive design.
