1990s Critics Review Donkey Kong '94 & Mario's Picross on Game Boy (Nintendo Switch Online)
129Last month, Nintendo only published one game for the Nintendo Switch Online – Wario Land 4. That turns out to be the first time that’s happened since last August. Now, only a few days into March, they’ve already doubled their output, giving us not one, but two games in a single day. That’s right, subscribers now have access to both 1994’s Donkey Kong and the puzzle game Mario’s Picross. Yeah, that’s cool news, but are either of these games actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer & Video Games, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines that reviewed these games when they first came out. I sure hope you like smashing barrels and chiseling rocks, because this is another puzzling episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew!
