Jason says, "There’s really only one and one reason only to play this game: online matchmaking. To be able to hop on and just play with random people all night on boards or just playing minigames is quite alluring and is honestly a one-of-a-kind online experience. Sadly, it kind of stops there. It’s anemic on content for a brand-new game especially as a remake using an existing engine, and it basically gives the middle finger to everyone who bought Super Mario Party. And while it’s graphically good-looking while targeting 60fps, it literally brings nothing new to the table. It’s just a nostalgia trip, as fun as it is burning hours out of my life turning my hands sore."
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.
