Phil writes, "Super Mario Party is a much welcome return to form for the franchise after some shaky attempts to mix things up. While I did actually enjoy what Island Tour and Star Rush had to offer gameplay-wise it's nice in a sense that I feel that I'm back "home" with regards to the Mario Party series. The new additions like the extra modes, the character-specific dice blocks that add a whole new level of strategy to the game (do I risk attempting to roll a 10 when at the same time rolling a 0 is a distinct possibility?), and the mini-games are truly a terrific showcase for the Switch's Joy-Con controller.
What isn't so great is the limited online options--especially after the arrival of having to pay just to play them--and the limited number of boards (and how small they are) compared to past games in the series might put some series veterans off.
Regardless, Super Mario Party is a bash that deserves to be celebrated. Mario Party is back, and Super Mario Party itself is one of the grandest shindigs Mario and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom gang has ever held."
The Mario Party franchise is one of Nintendo's most successful IPs, but the last two games have put the next title's success in jeopardy.
The last one on the switch was the best one I've played since the gamecube gamed. What's this about
Hadn't played any since MP1 and played the newest one, it's really good. The other ones with the shared carriage I wasn't a fan of that I'd seen online though.
I think 1 or 2 of these is enough per system as long as it has enough mini games, replayability, maybe some unlockables and a good selection of boards/maps.
Last one was pretty good, I think the next one should have more maps from the GC era though. The N64 maps are boring.
