Ton of fun for everyone! I play this with my 5 year old and shes been playing for over a year (shes pretty good honestly) and of course sometimes her father joins too. Can spend a couple of hours on mini games or a few board games..we laugh, we try, we jump for joy and sometimes she cries (still getting used to losing occasionally) but you NEED this if you own a switch and have some kids who you want to introduce to gaming in a healthy environment

I've played all the Mario Partys and it seems every generation, it gets worse. I watched all the trailers and some of the short gameplays for this game and it looked really good. Needless to say, I was disappointed, and bored after a few rounds. Pros: -Partner System is an interesting edition, especially when they can participate in minigames. -Some neat random interactions -Good character selection. Cons: -Boards are too small this caused an average a star gained by someone every other round, and it wasn't rare that with your partners, you could traverse nearly the entire board in one round. -Only 4 small boards to choose from. -Boards are very bland, undecorated compared to previous Mario party boards, and mostly uneventful. -Some of the voices of the characters are butchered, what the heck did they do to boo and lakitu?! -Stars are only 10 coins each. -No competition. With stars given out like candy, there is little strategy involved. -Not many diverse minigames, 95% of them are 4 player, there is less than a handful of the others (1v3 and 2v2). -Most minigames seemed winnable with your eyes closed and a simple shake of the controller. -Items in the game are fairly generic. Also, "Item shops" if you want to even call it that, only have three items. -Points awarded from board and minigame play can be spent on...unlocking tutorials. Previous Mario Partys had unique items you could buy and put in a room to display. -Limited to using one joycon - I'm a big guy, my hands are huge, I need to be able to use other controllers as well. I found myself hitting multiple buttons at once on accident frequently. -Online is extremely limited and simply not even worth trying at this point. -Can't play in handheld mode The game feels incomplete and at best, a decent entry into a handheld Mario Party game, however, the Switch is also a console hybrid, so this feels out of place due to its lack of features. Even with future updates, this game needs some heavy revamping. This feels like the release of Bomberman R, which was a game released for the Switch that lacked a lot of basic features previous Bomberman games had--they're still trying to patch things up to bring it up to speed a year later! These lazy releases cannot continue to go unnoticed. Hold your coins for Mario Party 12, or at least, a couple months when they (hopefully) release more features and the price goes down.

Such a fun game and my 8 year old is not having a problem with navigating the game alone

Our family LOVES this game. Although the Switch was mainly for me to play single player adventures such as Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild I had hope there would be a lot of games for my youngest 5 and 6 year old kids to play. Up until this point there hasn't been a lot for them to play at their gaming level...well...really all they've been able to play so far is Mario Kart which they love. However, now that Super Mario Party is out they are able to play extensively and they love playing the game together. This game seems to be very well rounded and both our little ones and teenagers are able to play together. Although the team games are little difficult for the younger kids the older kids really enjoy the strategy of it and it has been a great game for our family to enjoy the last several weeks. If you are looking for a good family game (that may cause some competitive competition) this is a great (almost necessary) game to add to your library. Enjoy!

this game isn’t “fast” enough to maintain the excitement. We played 10 turns at Mario Plaza and the game took about 1 hour. Comparing to Mario Party 1 (MP1), it has more turns for the same timeframe. Myself, wife, brother in law had a lot more fun with MP1 mainly because it was more simple, faster and straight to the point. SMP has new stuff that actually slowed down the pace of the game. Not that we don’t like it but it take getting used to. After playing for an hour, My wife and I honestly give this game a solid 8/10 (1 as worst; 10 as awesome ). We don’t care too much about online gameplay because we knows Nintendo isnt gonna get it done soon for the Switch. Mini games are fun and there are lots of them; some are simple, babyish, intense, fast as quick memory test, for instance. They’re all different than MP1 which is good and refreshing). Nothing too redundant, thanks goodness. I cannot comment for any other feature since I haven’t touch it yet but the bottom line is that Mario Plaza is where the excitement lies, especially with “off-line” local players such as friends, co-workers, significant others, and family members. ***This game is not for solo players***

Great game, is very fun to play with family, and friends. My daughter enjoyed it, sadly want compatible for Switch Lite.

The Mario Party series has always been a favorite in our family. We have every one so far. It is a great way to have the family play together on the switch. We think this version Has taken some of the best elements from past games and brought it together. Highly recommend it

This is a great game. Nintendo decided that the past games with the car were not the right way to continue the series. Which I'm glad they did. This game has the main Mario party mode, four people play for the most stars. A boat game where four people play together. A two player mode where you play together as a team but move separately. A movement based one where everyone has to use a joy-con in certain ways to a beat. There is also a one player mode, filled with challenges. Also a Toad's Rec Room that has multiple mini like games you can play with one switch or two. It has a online mode, but only with mini-games. Not a full Mario party board. All in all, the game is excellent. Only downside is the boards themselves. There is only four boards in the main four player multiplayer mode. Hopefully in the future they will add some more in a DLC or free update. Overall this is the first Mario Party I have liked in a while.

Very entertaining game for the family and fun for everyone. 4 player arcade style game with many fun and unique mini games. You can only play with joy-con controllers if you want to play 4 player. Any other controllers will not work not even pro controllers.

Price dropped to $29.99, lucky for I didn't get it on last year Black Friday. Easy set up the game, Great game with many mini games for each challenge, my daughters love it.

Great game with a ton of fun mini games. I wish it had more maps/boards available but assume more will be added with DLC. My biggest complaint is that you cannot play the board game online and instead only the mini games. Still definitely recommend picking this up.

This Mario Party goes back to basics while also including new modes, it's really fun, there are only a few issues, the golden pipe item is too cheap, there are only four maps, and the online is only for mini games, but besides that the core game itself is really good.

This game is really fun. Has a ton of different game modes that will keep you coming back. Great for people of all ages and will make any family gathering a lot more fun. Would recommend this for any Nintendo Switch owner.

If you have ever liked a mario party game, or if you have kids and are looking for a game on your switch that the whole family can play and have fun with, this is the game for you. Our young kids and our teens love playing this game with us. A great family game.

One of the best Mario games to date side scrolling just like the old days. Good for all ages there's characters you can pick that make gameplay not as hard for younger players. (enemies don't make you take damage and die if you use any the yoshi characters) game is very challenging in sone spots but I probably just suck at Mario.

This has been the best installment of Mario party yet. It makes it fun to play with friends and family. The new mini games are awesome and the game overall looks fantastic. This game got a lot of new options for games and plenty of board games to choose from

Classic Nintendo game updated for the Switch. Great fun for the family with up to 4 players (or a mix of computer and live players up to 4). Blast to play, make sure you have enough of the JoyCons for everyone as this is the required controller for the game.

Bought this for my 5 1/2 year old. He loves the mini games and was competitive after just a few tries per game. Easy to learn and play, and so many games. It's always a great party game. At least 4 can play if you have 4 controllers.

We love this game they have a lot of different games its so fun play this game i recommend to any one 100% .thanks

My niece came over on Saturday night to the house with this game. My niece and my girls stayed up playing this video game till 1:00 am!! The four of us had a blast!! I went out the next day and bought!! Awesome video game!!
