Super Mario Party sales top 1.5 million

Super Mario Party sold 1.5 million copies in October, Nintendo announced during its Q2 2019 financial results briefing. It launched for Switch worldwide on October 5.

If it had Mario in it, a title is almost always guaranteed to sell a million

I think in this case the game is the best Mario Party in a long time, so that definitely helps.

PhoenixUp1996d ago

Better than the last two numbered games but not so much better than the N64 & GCN titles

SoulWarrior1996d ago

Agreed, had fun for a few games but the boards are tiny and have no variety or twists, too many motion controlled mini games, items cost too few coins and the games are too slow paced.

Mario Party 4 is still my favourite.

I disagree. I think it's the best one since the 2nd myself.

It's amazing how well Nintendo's ips sell. This is a great game don't get me wrong but try putting a game like this on another console and it just dose not come close in terms of sales. Nintendo have some magic when it comes to there own ips.

Good games always sell no matter which system

mcstorm1995d ago

I agree just would not think a mini game like this would sell so many copy's

Nebaku1995d ago

You can't use the "if this were on another console" line, because the strength of Nintendo's IPs are factored into the game's concept. Case and Point, Smash. There are literally hundreds of Smash rip offs, and even an "official" one in PlayStation All Stars, but they don't stick because the characters within them don't have the personality to carry that end of it.

mcstorm1995d ago

I agree and I did not mean Nintendo's ips on other consoles I mean games like mnr, ps all stars, there have even been mini games that have not sold as well as this.

The last one on the switch was the best one I've played since the gamecube gamed. What's this about

Number1TailzFan289d ago

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.

Concertoine289d ago

Last one was pretty good, I think the next one should have more maps from the GC era though. The N64 maps are boring.
