Mario Party Superstars - Nintendo Switch

IMPORTANT |: Joy-Con are not required to play any minigames in this release. ONLINE MULTIPLAYER with worldwide random matchmaking is INCLUDED AT LAUNCH! |-> Gotta say I couldnt help but toss up a photo of me wearing my safety glove as I get ready for some joystick-flailing mayhem in minigames such as Tug o War and Cast Aways from some of the best-loved Parties of Marios past!! (The twirling of a joystick [which led to multiple days of tender palm back during my youth] playstyle is still intact in this new release.) I havent played any releases in the Mario Party franchise since the release of Mario Party 8 on Wii. That was many years ago, but I can wholeheartedly say this release has me stoked with the desire of stickin my toe back in the water to end up diving in for a purchase. Mario Party 1-3 were Nintendo 64 releases, and boards from those three games are amazingly remade in this (alongside 100 Minigames that span from MP1 thru MP10)!! [Early datamined leaks of game files show there being a possibility of atleast two more boards being added to the game at some point - that would be WONDERFUL if Nintendo treated players to occasional board/minigame DLC additions to help keep things feeling lively and exciting.] ... If you never played Mario Party before the era of Wii, then Superstars might feel like a slight curveball in challenge design and how the boards operate within move sets. The glorious Bonus star is BACK in this release, which is great to see!! Call it the kid in me that longs for the Good ol days of 4-player splitscreen and such, but I much preferred the playstyle/challenges that MP1-3 presented that often kept me coming back for countless hours of sheer fun had. If you enjoyed any of the previous 3+ entries in the Mario Party franchise, then I can easily recommend this as a title worth checking out!

I have two kids, 7 and 3. They absolutely LOVE this game! And the nostalgia for me, a mom in my 30s who grew up playing Mario Party (at least the first 9), is unbeatable. I wish they had extra boards and maybe some different mini games and more characters, but those points are not worth knocking out stars for. The game is always fun. I especially like that we can play online with others!

All the family love it!

This game is so much fun we can even play with my sister and brother in-law who lives 800 miles away we love it. Players: Kids ages 5y-12y and adults ages 22-33y.

Not much to explain, a very fun mario party game to play with people, ya know?

I purchased this game so I had a game to play with my five year old son. He and I absolutely love playing together. My wife and I will play with our neighbors too. Its a nice change of pace from Game Night board games.

As a huge Mario fan who grew up playing the original Mario Parties, I was excited to play this and preordered it right away. I had to say I was so happy to see Nintoendo had not forgotten it’s roots focused a lot on mini games and it was fun seeing new characters on boards from past games. On the down side, I was disappointed with the lack of a storyline and story mode that made Mario party unique. If anything, this game would be great to rent for the weekend. It was a great concept, but I wouldn’t purchase it for reasons other than nostalgia.

Only 5 boards on the game but still lots of fun to play!

awesome

A must have game for Mario fans. It blows the previous Switch Mario Party out of the water. The best part is playing with an actual controller. It makes the game much more enjoyable vs using joycons. I love this game. Highly recommend.
