Super Mario Party On Switch Won't Include Pro Controller Support

Anyone planning to stock up on Switch Pro Controllers in preparation for the release of Super Mario Party might want to reconsider, as the game won't support the alternative control method.

Ι like joy con but I find those news really bad for the fans of pro controller.

[Neonridr]

I think it's due to requiring specific movements or actions while playing some of the games.

or anyone who doesn't want to spend $80 for a pair of joy cons

[Gardenia]

It's ridiculous. Jon Cons cost even more than any other console main controller. But that's Nintendo

[porkChop]

I'm assuming some of the mini games will require motion from both joycons, which couldn't be replicated on the Pro controller.

Admittedly, I wasn't going to pick this up because the party was over after the series' peak - Mario Party 2 - but it still sucks for fans of the pro controller.

Some mini games will require the joy con

[ccgr]

Bummer, the pro controller is much more comfortable

No Pro Controller support = No buy from me. This was the first Mario Party game I'd been interested in or excited for since the N64 days really.

I'm sure they will realize the mistake and fix it eventually....if they do, I'll buy it.

Well Nintendo, that just dropped this to the bottom of my list of interest.

I only have one set of joycons, yet three pro controllers. I would be forced to spend another $80 just to play MARIO PARTY with more than two people.

They better patch it in soon after release or make a new set of minigames to replace Joy Con motion based ones once you use regular controllers, if that's the reason for no support.

smh, such a terrible decision. There's a few wii u games that do this bs and it is very annoying. There should never be a game excluding a normal controller if you offer one.

[zacly]

so glad I just bought two pros today.....

[slate91]

Lmao. So i was looking forward to picking this up. I have a pro controller and the original joy cons. So i was thinking, "cool I have three controllers essentially."
But now my $60 pro controller is no good for this?? And I assume I have to pay for more joy cons now? What a way to appreciate your fans.

[Eltortugagames]

The mini games require movements of the joycon that would not work with the pro controller...

[Knightofelemia]

That's all I ever use when I play my Switch is my pro controller well that blows
