Super Mario Party - Nintendo Switch

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.

Wish the maps were at unique as Mario 2 for the Nintendo 64, but overall great experience and fun for the whole family.

This is a very fun game to play with friends and family. The mini games are very addicting and easy to learn. This has completely changed our family game nights and nights over with friends. If you like Mario Kart, you will probably like this game. The only drawback is that it only works with Joy-Cons, not Pro Controllers. So you if you plan on playing with 4 people, you will need to have 4 Joy-Cons. Other than that, no complaints.

Me personally I have had a plethora of poor experiences with the Nintendo character named Yoshi and i have finally made him cry using this game. Play this game to not only upset, torture, and bully Yoshi but also have a blast with your loved ones.

A pretty fun Mario Party game, game is overall really fun, however I'd recommend Mario Party Superstars over this one personally, however the game itself is still very solid and fun.

Great game for kids and family to enjoy for several years

Love the game. So fun and perfect for the fam. Highly recommend

Fun game great to play with friends both in person and online
