Nintendo eShop Update: Mario vs. Donkey Kong

Paul Bryant09 mins

If you’re a fan of classic puzzle-platformers (and who isn’t?), this week’s eShop update is highlighted by a must-play game: Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

It’s a remake of the game that started the series back on the Game Boy Advance 20 years ago. The difference this time around — apart from the obviously much-improved visuals — is that there’s co-op and a bunch of new puzzles. Seeing as it’s been nine years since we had a game in the series (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars on the Wii U and 3DS), it’ll be fun to return to gaming’s original greatest rivalry.

There are plenty of other games out this week on the Switch, so see the full list below and also check out Nintendo’s updated Game Store list, here.

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following content:

  • Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch
    • Mario vs. Donkey Kong – The rivalry that originally heated up on the Game Boy Advance system returns on the Nintendo Switch system! Donkey Kong has stolen all the Mini-Mario toys from the factory, and it’s up to Mario to get them back. Run, jump and backflip your way to retrieving them across over 130 levels in this puzzle-style twist on classic platforming action. With newly added co-op, brand-new worlds and updated music and visuals, you can find your new favorite way to play as you embark on your toy-saving quest! The Mario vs. Donkey Kong game is available on Feb. 16. A free demo is available now in Nintendo eShop.
    • Tomb Raider I–III Remastered Starring Lara Croft – Uncover treasures and mysteries of the ancient world alongside Lara Croft in three classic Tomb Raider adventures – now remastered and featuring each game’s expansion content. Face off against deadly foes, reveal dangerous myths and solve puzzles with upgraded graphics and the option to switch to the original polygonal look at any time. Tomb Raider I–III Remastered Starring Lara Croft is available now in Nintendo eShop and in the My Nintendo Store on Nintendo.com.
