Hey Poor Player's Kevin Kissane writes: "Ain’t No Party Like A Mario Party Let me indulge you for a moment. Imagine a table top board game rendered on-screen as a video game. Then imagine beloved video game characters, both good and evil, fully playable as if they were counters on several themed game boards. An every-person-for-themselves scenario, and only one can come out on top. Sounds good, right? Well twenty years ago, that very concept became a Nintendo franchise like no other."
Mario Party composer Yasunori Mitsuda has spoken about the game's soundtrack and how nearly 200 songs were initially cut.
Dang, a lot. Though tbf the soundtrack Is fine. I enjoyed the first game, it had a lot of content and unlockable stuff even if it didn't have as many mini games as later ones. The newest one is great though.
"Pokémon Stadium, Mario Party, Pilotwings 64, 1080° Snowboarding, Excitebike 64, & more will be gradually added to the Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Stay tuned for more details in the future! "
And for Japan, they're also getting Harvest Moon 64.
Great additions all around, especially the shock of the year with GoldenEye finally seeing the light of day for the time since 1997. Mario Party 1-2-3 still get played in my house with the original carts and system, but this will make it much more convenient for hangouts.
