It is a great game for those that want to get into the franchise.

Good game to play, I will recommend this game to someone

Playing this was very nostalgic! The graphics are amazing!!

4 out of 5 Stars Super Mario Party is a package of fun game modes designed for having fun with friends and family. Gaming today is a largely solitary experience. Super Mario Party is reminiscent of what made gaming so popular decades ago, experiencing games together. There is nothing like sitting down on the couch and learning the game, laughing together, and sometimes yelling at the competition while in the same room. Super Mario Party paired with the Nintendo Switch taps into those nostalgic experiences from arcades and early game consoles. The game uses the Switch’s hardware in interesting and creative ways. Being able to play with a single Joy-Con means you always have a 2 player set up on hand wherever your bring your Switch. The game features multiple game modes to change up the experience, allowing for competitive and cooperative gameplay. The mini games are fun and easy to learn. There are a few drawbacks to the game. While playing together in the same location is the ideal way to experience this game , in 2018, the lack of online options are certainly noticed. There are bare bones online options to playing individual mini games online with strangers, but nothing beyond that. Not being able to play a full round of Mario Party with friends online is a disappointment. While you can play against computer controlled characters, the lack of online essentially makes the game not worth playing unless you have a room full of people to join you. Nintendo is always behind in the online space, and this game is no exception. Additionally, the lack of Pro Controller support is frustrating. You must have an additional set of Joy-Con if you plan on playing with more than 2 people. Overall, I’d recommend purchasing this game if you regularly have people around to game with. It can be an absolute blast with the right group of people.

One of the best games i’ve played. I play this with my family, my wife and nieces and nephew and it’s really fun, a great way to bond with them. Buy it!!!

I grew up with Mario Party 1-5 and was very disappointed with other releases such as Mario Party 10. It seems that this soft reboot of the franchise is what it needed. The original party action with minigames, board game movement and plenty of rage, are back. The minigames are really good this time around. I was a bit worried that they would all be gimmicky motion-based games but the majority don't require movement. I actually really enjoyed the motion and rumble games. The new Partner Party is one of my favorite modes. You and a teammate move freely across the board to get the most stars. The strategy is quite different here and is a great inclusion. There is also a coop/survival mode that is basically the standard mode from Mario Party 10. All of the players must work together to maneuver a raft down some rapids. Along the way you will run into minigame balloons that you will need to beat to increase the amount of time you have to finish the mode. These minigames are completely different from the ones you play in other modes. There is also game room where you can play any minigame and there are also games that can only be played here. For example, one game is a just "Combat" from the Atari 2600 but with Mario characters. The boards are pretty good this time around. However there are only 4 and Nintendo hasn't even hinted at any post-game content. Finally, like many of the recent games, Bowser and his minions are playable and the new primary baddie is Kamek from Yoshi's Island. While I prefer Bowser more, it doesn't take away from the overall game. It's just a little different for someone who mainly played Mario Party 2 on the N64.

This game is great, as long as you have people to play with. This is a great Nintendo game, but like most party games, unless people are there playing with you, it's a little dull. You need the atmosphere of battling others to really enjoy this game. If you have that, then I highly recommend it.
