He is the leader of the bunch; you know him well. He’s finally back to kick some Mario tail in Mario vs. Donkey Kong.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong appears to be a remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance game. In it, Mario must complete a series of platform puzzles to reach Donkey Kong and thwart his theft of wind-up Mario toys.
While it seems like an unexpected announcement, we had some clues to a new one Donkey Kong a game of some sort was coming up. Pyoro, a prolific (and often accurate) Nintendo leaker, began hinting earlier this month that a Do not know game would be announced at this Direct.
Turns out they were right again, with their clever hint accurately predicting that it wouldn’t be a standalone game Donkey Kong game, but one in which the age-old rivalry between the Kong and the Plumber would finally be revived.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong launches on Switch on February 16.
