Is it a separate game from the previous game?

It's a separate game. Nintendo couldn't release it as DLC for Super Mario Party because they wouldn't be able charge £49.99 for it.

Consider it a "Best of" from the N64 series (based on what we know at the moment), although there are some mini-games from the GameCube iterations.

20% off at the moment when using the code PURCHASE4LESS at checkout.

Brings this down to £38.28. Still no news on the final two boards.

Nararrator: but they didn't support it with free DLC and instead released a new Mario Party 2 years later

This seems more like a faithful remake of all the previous Mario Partys (mainly the first 3), than an updated remake with the Super Mario Party mechanics. Which is great because Super Mario Party is terrible.

I’m still holding out hope they announce DLC for it adding new boards and mini games, seems the perfect time to do it as they can bring in more classics from the past games.

Final preview from IGN:



Copied from Reddit:

Mario Party Superstars is Not “Lazy” *Slight SPOILERS for Superstars*

A lot of people are calling this game Lazy, but I don’t think you know exactly what that really means.


There are plenty of things they have done that they did NOT need to do:

* Remade Victory Themes for each MP Game’s respective Minigames
(they could’ve just made 1 simple jingle, and be done with it).

* Custom Title Screens for each Board, Mario Party 1 style
(they coulda used an image of the Piece of Art from the Cover, slapped ‘Press +/-‘ on it, and there you go.)

* Option to use the Original Board Music

* 7 Different Online Minigame Modes

* The completely new Option to extend the Turn Count mid-game (I don’t think ANYONE asked for this, but they made it anyway)

* Make the Main Menu a remake of Mushroom Village from MP 1 (they coulda made a colorful screen with all the options on it and called it a day).

* Many of the Sound Effects, including the rolling of the dice being the exact sound effects from the old games

* Mario on the cover, being almost an exact replica of the original Mario Party 1’s boxart, from Mario’s Pose, to the numbers on the die being the exact same.

* Animating completely new Animations for the characters

* Making Unique Winner Reveal Scenarios for each Board to announce the Superstar

If they WERE Lazy, and just doing the bare minimum, they’d just put what they needed:

* 5, shoddy-looking Boards
(Regardless of if you like the art style of the Boards or not, graphically, the Boards look incredible, especially for the Switch)

* 100 Unpolished, buggy Minigames

* Free Play Mode for Minigames

* No Extra Minigame Modes

* No Shop

* No addition features

and ship it.

You can call Mario Party Superstars “Low in Content” if you want to, but it isn’t low effort. There’s a difference. It’s clear that they put a lot of love into this project.

I've never actually played a Mario Party game. This may be the one.

The old Mario Party 1 mini-games that were played by rotating the control stick now have a warning not to use your palms. Pretty funny stuff

Decent scores!

Hopefully the kids will enjoy when I allow them to play my copy of this!
