      Then why expect a new game? Just play the original mario party you liked.
      There are some people who love the original games but also want to see updates and improvements to it. And people whining about mario party switch killed any chances it had at getting DLCs. So...thanks.
      Now we just got another lackluster MP game with very few boards and which will likely no get DLC again.

      @@benjamindeh873 I couldn’t disagree with you more. Most ppl just wanted Mario party remastered & we finally got it. They won’t sacrifice these motion controls for future releases but they finally listened to the Gen Z players who grew up with this route & ways of playing. & ppl don’t have N64 or ppl with the ability to couch play so this is perfect for those who are old and now new to the past times of a game that was perfect in its original form.

      Some mechanics worked better than others. I like the original formula. But I want them to add stuff to the original formula. See what works, what doesnt?
      Do allies work? Do boss battles work? Do people like a grid-based map from star rush? Even captain events from MP9 could threociattly work as a way to try and steal coins.

I never played 9 and star rush so I have no input on those titles but the partner party in super Mario party was similar to star rush with the grid like gameplay.

    As the youngest sibling out of eight, I really grew up to appreciate the older game consoles and the Nintendo 64 and GameCube play the huge part in my childhood and my entire life as a gamer.
    I remember lots of good memories playing the first three Mario parties on Nintendo 64 with friends family and neighbors alike. And then of course going on to play the GameCube installments and still having lots of fun with others even as we got older. I always enjoyed playing board games with my family. It was just that sort of Classic Fun you really grew to appreciate and value the memories as you get older. Mario party is the video game equivalent of that and I knew since I was little I would have lots of fun playing this game series.
    I'm really looking forward to later today and I can't wait until my local Gamestop opens so I can pick up my copy. I'm so glad I pre-ordered and I'm really looking forward to having a childhood friend over so we can relive the good times and and just take it easy as we chillout eat some snacks and catch up with eachother.
    It's time to party and we're all invited, not just any party...a MARIO PARTY!

    This’ll be the first Mario Party game I’ve played since Mario Party DS, being that none of the other Mario Party games afterwards really tickled my fancy. Which makes sense, since development of them would shift from Hudson Soft to ND Cube right afterwards. And while Super Mario Party seemed like a return to form, I didn’t really think the content it had was worth the $60 price tag.
    But with Superstars being a collection of both the best minigames *and* boards from the first few games, as well as coming with online play right out of the gate, I’m more than looking forward to copping it tomorrow.👌🏽

    I picked this up a couple days ago. As someone who played the original N64 game (my favs in the series), I was a bit disappointed at the lack of themed character outfits for the MP2 boards, but that's just a minor detail.
    Yesterday I spent a delightful afternoon playing online against random opponents. It was a blast, no connectivity issues, flow of the game was great, definitely will look forward to online matches on my days off. Since I'm the only gamer in my household, it made the game that much more enjoyable, playing against real people instead of a computer. :)

    I'm extremely excited for this game to come out tonight but I really hope they add DLC. I would absolutely love some GameCube boards and the addition of capsule mode (where you can choose between classic items or capsules on every board)
    Regardless, me and my girlfriend loved playing Super Mario Party together (which isn't great in my opinion) so I know we're gonna love this. She had never played the older games and I grew up with them so I'm hoping she enjoys it and would wanna go back to play the N64 and GameCube games

    On one hand, I'm happy with going back to basics. On another, as it was mentioned, there was so much missed potential too.
    One of the issues I had with it was coins being thrown constantly at the players. You used to have to work for those coins. Now you hit a Lucky Space, Koopa Troopa's little go space, the bank, or an event space and you get showered in coins.
    Another issue I had with the game was the VS space. It's a joke most of the time. It almost always lands on 3 or 7 coins. Heaven forbid an actual multiple of 10 (10+). It's a waste of time with few consequences if the higher amounts are not present usually.
    One of the more annoying things was the mini-game selections. This is supposed to be the 100 best mini-games, but I guarantee no one voted for part of the games that are pointless. I know there are a ton of remakes but that is no excuse for the lazy picks that were included. Nor an excuse for it always being a 1 vs 3 or free-for-all ALMOST always. Even Super Mario Party did 2 vs 2 more frequently.
    The most glaring issue I had was duels. They are coin only... This is better than Mario Party 7 with it's random roll of the reward but still an issue. Someone with 1 or 2 coins dueling is a waste of time for both players. Actually betting stars would be great, even the 50 coins against a star would have been good. It just seems like a glaring issue that Nintendo derped on.
    Overall, it is a better Mario Party versus what had been out since Mario Party 8, and I'm glad Nintendo did go back to basics. At the same time, Nintendo needs to figure out who they are trying to cater to with Mario Party. If this game was for the old fans and was their love letter to us, then they somewhat were spot on (somewhat mind you). If it was meant for newer fans, it is alright but a fail. It was a better game than a lot of the recent Mario Party games, to say the least.

    The point we were all making is that we wanted the return to form they gave us exactly that with remade boards and mini games. I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention how there was a rework to the boards to make some a bit more playable or nerfed. All in all they did what they had to do and the game looks solid. To knock the game for not adding any “new”features or play modes makes no sense because that’s not what this game is and nowhere did they try to make it out to be that.

    Does anyone know if they removed the restrictions on the online player setup? By which I mean for whatever reason Super Mario Party only let you do 4 separate consoles or 2 consoles with 2 players each online, but I'd really like to have 2 players on one console playing with 2 other separate online players at once. It's a weird question and a niche circumstance but it's kind of a deal breaker for a friend of mine, since he's only thinking about getting it if him and his wife can play with me and another friend online.

    I haven't watched the video yet, but my only complaints are how easy it is to get coins and items. I wish only the winner got coins (or at least that that was an option) and that there was WAY less lucky spaces, and those spaces gave out less coins. I'd also make items cost a bit more (round up to the nearest 5 at least) and get rid of some of the coin games, especially when they get doubled. People can easily get 99 coins in one game of Hammer Drop. I prefer it when having 50 coins is actually hard to do, and not everyone can even afford a star. Other than those things, I basically love everything.

And Bowser sometimes takes only 12-15 coins. I'd like if it was 20 - 40 depending on the board. Or just 30 in every board to even it out. 20 should be the minimum. When I played Mario Party 1, 2, or 3, I was always able to keep the CPUs below 50 coins so they could never steal my stars. But this game can hand them 50 coins in one turn. I still do love the game though. I just wish they would change a few things.
