Super Mario Party Reviews
The modes and minigames are quite good, but I think the need to use Joy-Cons rather than traditional controllers could prove a little frustrating for people who only have two Joy-Cons and prefer using a bigger gamepad.
A shame as this party was one I was glad to be invited to- I just didn’t feel the desire to stick around for too long.
Super Mario Party on Nintendo Switch is a return to form for the classic franchise
The online play is severely lacking and disappointing. But many hours of fun are to be had with this game and even more so with friends.
There is nothing revolutionary in Super Mario Party, but the series remains the king of party games. This is an ideal gift for the whole family and those who are tired of sitting and playing alone in a room.

Super Mario Party is a good step forward for the series after the last, pale chapters. With this first episode for Switch, Nintendo wanted to look back to the past, especially in the first few games of the series, to bring out the simplicity and immediacy of the original gameplay. The operation has succeeded and is exalted by the peculiar characteristics of the console.

Super Mario Party injects new life into the series' old board game formula by adding a bunch of fun extra modes such as River Survival, Sound Stage and Toad's Rec Room. Online is unfortunately limited to a few rotating games — a big missed opportunity especially with the debut of Nintendo's new online service. This means you sadly can't play a full board game with other folks away from your couch or immediate vicinity. If you're good with plotting and scheming against friends and family offline, however, this is arguably the best Mario Party game in the franchise's history.
Super Mario Party elevates the franchise to a new platform and gives you plenty of things to do with friends. The randomness is still a bit more frustrating than it should be, but the high points make up for the occasional frustrations.
Super Mario Party has enough rough and baffling components such that the "Super" tucked into the title feels a bit undeserved, but it shows a developer operating with the best of intentions, attempting to offer up a party for every sort of player.
Super Mario Party brings one of the longest running party game series to the Nintendo Switch, in a game that brings a much expected online component and a great variety of gaming modes. While the amount of content is to be praised, not all is perfect in Super Mario Party, and the one player experience, as well as the co-op games, feel too simple. The online component also falls short of expectations, even if it's a welcome development, but Mario Party is still the number one name in party games out there.

Super Mario Party may not do everything perfectly, but it's easily some of the most fun I've had the Switch since launch. The boards are a bit dull but the overwhelming amount of great new minigames makes up for any short-falls with aplomb.
The Mario Party debut on the Switch succeeds thanks to the familiar mini-game concept, good (co-op) mode selection and multiplayer fun.

Super Mario Party retains the whimsical and hilarious nature of its predecessors while greatly expanding on its mini-games and their complexity. It's a joyous time with a bunch of friends or family, even if you can't actually get any better at playing due to its heavily randomised mechanics.
Super Mario Party is a joyous bounty of content picked out in lurid colours that comes together as a great way to play games with friends after a couple of drinks, or with younger relatives.
Super Mario Party is the best Mario Party game in a long time, and series fans now have a great title on their hands as well as hope for the future.
