I got it in the mail today, played one round of multiplayer, and I'm liking it so far.
I was worried it would force motion controls in minigames where they don't make sense, like in Mario Party 8 where some minigames were ridiculously hard to control because of weird forced motion controls. But in 10 rounds we only got one motion controlled minigame, and it was fine, just a "spam as fast as you can" type minigame, so that alleviated my fear.
Stages are a bit small, but they are varied enough and have multiple paths, so I'm fine with that.
The only thing I don't like that much so far is the partner mechanic, it sort of feels like cheating when someone is lucky and gets multiple partners and gets extra dice rolls every round and the rest of the players are at a disadvantage for the entire game. But that CPU lost with only 1 star, so I guess it didn't help them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
