Mario vs. Donkey Kong is an upcoming Nintendo Switch remake of the Game Boy Advance game of the same name. It was first announced during the September 14, 2023 Nintendo Direct, and is set to be released in February 16, 2024.[2] It is the first Mario vs. Donkey Kong game on the Nintendo Switch and also the first one in general since Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. As a remake of the first game, it is also the first time the gameplay style of the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong has been revisited since the original's release. Unlike the original version's pre-rendered visuals and the rest of the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series opting for a plastic, cartoony look with outlines, the remake adopts a standard modern artstyle, taking many cues from Super Mario 3D World and its appearance as a theme in Super Mario Maker 2 in particular.
