Mario Party Superstars - Nintendo Switch

I was never really interested in any Mario Party games before this one, but a couple months ago I had the opportunity to play this specific Mario Party game with my roommate and his sister. Just from the couple hours playing it my interest was piqued, and I decided to order it myself. Within my first month of having this game, I had already played it for 26 hours. Its by far my favorite switch game out of the ones I own, but to be fair, I dont have a lot of switch games. I do wish the game had more maps to choose from, but things are made up for sort with all the minigames that are offered, and the fact you can work towards achievements, or buying (with game currency, not real money) music, stickers, character pages, etc. in Toads Shop. So its not JUST Mario Party, you have different options to choose from in the game. You can customize your own player card, too. Which I think is pretty cool! Id definitely say this game is the most fun to play with others, but its still very much worth it to play alone. And I would most definitely recommend this game. :)

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!

Its ok

As someone who has loved the series for longer than I care to say, this is a letdown. This could have easily been a $20 DLC pack on Super Mario Party, but instead we get charged $60 for the most anemic entry in the console series. Considering how much I’ve played the older titles this collection pulls from, the mini games got boring quick. And with only five maps to choose from, and no meaningful unlock-able content (hope you like encyclopedia pages, stickers, and soundtrack music) this feels half-baked at best. When you can play through all a $60 game has to offer in one day, something is terribly wrong. Super Mario Party is easily the superior of the Switch titles, in my opinion. And despite other reviewers saying online is great this time around, I have not experienced that. Even with high-speed fiber optic internet, online is still unplayable for me. The lag is so intense that not a single mini game I played was able to run anywhere near a reasonable speed and run until the end without booting me back to the main menu. Maybe directly connecting to Ethernet would solve that problem, but the classic Switch and anyone with a Lite does not have that option. I recommend WarioWare: Get It Together! over this any day of the week - it is much more exciting to play, and comes with more layers of challenges and play styles than this title.

Mario party is fun, no matter what. Great with 2 people, better with more. Ill always recommend it, especially as an ice breaker. I just cant understand why Nintendo wont treat this game right. It needs more boards, like always. This game is a step down with not as many playable characters as the previous version. No Allys, no custom dice for each character. It seems to have tons of mini games which is fantastic. Love the throwback boards. But there is just no reason this couldnt have been better. If theyd just listen to what fans want, this could be a top tier game.

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.

The perfect game to play with family or friends! This game has brought hours of fun to us!

Lots of fun playing it with my wife and bringing back lots of memories with the family about those days back when I was in highschool.

Good price ship time decent

I like how it brings the old games to the switch I feel like a kid again.
