Currently revisiting the original GBA version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong (via the Ambassador Programme on 3DS).
Fun to play for the most part but surprisingly more frustrating than I remember it (or its predecessor Donkey Kong '94) being. I'd be very surprised if the upcoming Switch remake/remaster doesn't address elements like the difficulty curve and/or the controls to make it more accessible/approachable because it hasn't necessarily aged well in two decades.
That said, I'd also forgotten how much Mario actually speaks (relative to other Mario games) in this game.
Charles Martinet is hilarious and Nintendo won't easily replace the charm his vocals brought to their mascot. Kevin Afghani has huge shoes to fill IMO.
