It took 12 years since that fateful day when the terrible Mario Party 9 came out, but finally, we have a full on great original Mario Party that uses and improves upon the OG Formula instead of going with weird non-functional experiments and doubling down on them instead of listening to the fans.
Nintendo Cube only needed to make a Remake first (Superstars) to grasp on what people liked about the series before commiting to the next original entry. ~~Now Paper Mario will do the same, as it has been following the same redemption arc as Mario Party.~~

Eurogamer gave it a pretty scathing review.

You really know what you’re getting with the Mario Party series. It’s not something that generally reviews well outside it’s dedicated fan base. You either enjoy the series and want more of it, taking the good with the bad, or likely had your fill with whichever iteration you first played.

Jamboree > Superstars > Super Mario Party
I know the game hasn’t came out yet but based on watching trailers/reveals I think Jamboree should be an improvement on both previous games. Its been awhile since I have been excited for a game to come out!

Reviews are very good, like GOTY-candidate good. There’s no party like a Mario Party.

I expect this will still lack staying power and be liked mostly because people will still be comparing it to SMP, which was an awful release.
The old games were helped by being annual releases. 4-5 maps isn’t as big of a deal when a new game is right around the corner. Now, we’re getting 7 maps, but these games are taking 3 years to release. I don’t want half-baked, annual releases, but these games sorely need the same kind of post-launch support Kart and Smash get. I would be more likely to upgrade to the Switch Online expansion (or pay $25) if they’d give us new maps between these 3-year game releases.

Overpriced.

Does this have co-op or team party?

I refuse to buy these till they just do paid DLC

Dan Ryckert from Gamespot gave the game a 6/10. This is probably the most accurate review, and he highlights some big disappointments. I would trust his review given his history with Mario Party.
We didn’t need another full priced title. This should have been an expansion/DLC for Superstars.

Should I order this through target? What’s the best way to get it on Thursday

Was I the only one who got superstars and was very excited, then just didn’t like it for some reason?

so stoked for this one, didn’t even realize it was coming out this week and I happen to be going to the beach with a bunch of friends for the weekend. just a perfect opportunity to beat and annoy the hell out of everyone with Wario 🙂

Does this one respect the players time? The last one was ridiculous how many unstoppable instructions and animations there were
