Sony and Nintendo giving more options for consumers.

A marked improvement from the last two Mini-based Mario vs. Donkey Kong games.
Mario and Donkey Kong have been at it for a long time now. They started their feud in a platforming game, Donkey Kong, which gave way to a puzzle-platformer of the same name on the Gameboy years later. After that, the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series was established, featuring the same puzzle-platformer gameplay found in its predecessor. However, when the series made the move to the DS, Mario gave up chasing Donkey Kong himself, and took use of the minis, which in turn changed the gameplay to pure puzzles. Mini-Land Mayhem is the third entry to feature the minis and the pure puzzle gameplay, but strangely this latest version feels more akin to the platformer entries of the past, thanks to some creative level design, on-the-fly puzzle solving, and boss levels that evoke nostalgia for the original arcade game.
