Phil writes, "Mario Party Superstars delivers a supersized party package that really feels like a proper successor to the Mario Party crown after all of this time. While for me, annual releases of the series did make for a dull series, requiring a change to the formula at the time, I'm very glad that ND Cube has returned the Mario Party series to its roots in utterly fantastic fashion. The number of boards is disappointing, and some mini-games chosen are a bit boring and worthy of a head scratch, but all in all, Mario Party Superstars is a bonafide bountiful bash worth celebrating with a few friends, family members, or thanks to online play, complete strangers as well."
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.
Mario Party Superstars is an excellent collection of past games in the series, but Nintendo Switch Online has rendered it a little irrelevant.
I'm sure the 2 people that are playing Mario Party Superstars are going to be gutted over this.
It wasn't meant to be a brand new MP title. It was literally supposed to be a greatest hits. It barely has more mini games than your average MP and far fewer boards. The existence of any other MP game from 1-8 renders MPS obsolete.
They really should do DLC packs for it, Superstars is neat and all, but there's alot of redundancy in the mini-games, they should have new boards/mini-games in DLC form. It's not like they don't have 8 other games to draw from, or even just create some new stuff. Look at what they're doing with the Mario Kart DLC, it's really all I ask for.
Some of the US Black Friday Nintendo deals include a steep discount on Dead by Daylight, Digimon Survive, and Mario Party Superstars.
