The latest game in the Mario Party series has been announced for Nintendo Switch - Super Mario Party.

Super Mario Party launches on Nintendo Switch October 5th in North America and looks to take fun advantage of the various capabilities of the Switch.

The Mario Party™ series is coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system with super-charged fun for everyone! The original board game style has been kicked up a notch with deeper strategic elements, like specific Dice Blocks for each character. The game also introduces all-new ways to play, including Joy-Con™ controller enabled minigames, and new modes to enjoy with family and friends. Board game play goes back to the four-player basics as you take turns and race across the board searching for Stars. You can also pair up two Nintendo Switch systems and delight in this dynamic play style, such as in the new Toad’s Rec Room mode. With new modes and new minigames coupled with original board game play, the party starts anywhere, anytime, and with all kinds of players. Super Mario Party is available October 5th!

To be honest, I would prefer WarioWare than mario Party at this point. I don't hate my friends and family with WarioWare.

Destroying friendships since 1998

Hmmm. Can’t help but notice some mini games in the video that haven’t been around since the N64!

 

[MushGuy]

Finally! I no longer have to search for it on Ebay!

 

[Giga_Gaia]

OMG, is this the return of the old mario party? I hated Mario Party 9-10 because of the new system.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Online or no purchase from me.

 

[Axido]

One question remains:

Is it made by ND Cube, again?

 

[KingVamp]

Let's just be glad it isn't called New Mario Party.

Finally, no more riding in a car together!

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Ah, fuck...I think I'll buy this...too bad my GF does. not. play. games.

The commercial made it look so cool.

 

[RedBlueGreen]

Only the last 30 seconds of the commercial is any good IMO. I hate how many groups of friends it showed. We get it, the Switch is super portable. Could've just shown the first group, the switches linking, and the showed us a lot of minigame footage. The game looks good, but the commercial didn't showcase enough. The could've cut the commercial to 45 seconds, or just had 1:30 of game footage.

okay, i got the game, the hardest part is to find 3 friends to play with TT.....

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm kinda hyped for this. Looks like Mario Party is finally returning to the classic style. Maybe Nintendo finally realized they are killing the series.
I'm still wary though, I'll reserve my judgment for when I get to try it myself and see if it's as fun as the classics were.

This is so nice a game to have around to break the ice on parties!

My thoughts exactly. Right now without that info, it's a maybe, but if they included online play, then it's a Day-1 purchase.

 

[mizorechan]

I will be very surprised to see Nintendo keeping the mindset of "Mario Party must be local play only".

 

[Garro]

I've been waiting for a new Mario Party game since Switch release I'm so hyped for this and looking forward seeing more of the board mechanics. As far as I can see, it looks like a mix of old Mario Party games with Star Rush's Ally system (You can see allies, an "Ally +1" space and a single minigame featuring allies).
