Can you play with friends online?
dogey11
is it worth getting the expansion pack just for this if I’ve already played the modern ones?

Tried testing out a Gamecube controller through the official adapter to circumvent joycon/pro controller drift…..and turns out you can’t use Z button.
Thanks Nintendo.

Can’t wait to play as Luigi and win by doing absolutely nothing again.

MP 1-3 are the best. MP 1 is hardcore, you steal coins in the minigames. One game of grab bag and you’re either a king or broke. And if you get the Bash and Cash version, I hope you’re good at running away.

For those who have the Switch N64 controller, remember the Joystick and still wear down like the old N64 controller while at the same time drift like the Pro Controllers.

Mario Party 3 is my fav, used to play that and 2 a lot as a kid. My uncle rented the 1st one for me from Blockbuster (lol) and the blisters were real! 😬

I’m a little out of the loop on the online subscription these days – can these be played with having a regular Switch Online subscription? Or you need the additional expansion thing to play it?

I played a couple rounds of MP2 and the game still just puts a smile on your face.
The way this N64 emulator on Switch works, the contrast between upscaled 3D polygonal assets and unfiltered low-res 2D sprite/static image assets is still a little jarring to me. Especially for Mario Party 2 — characters are all 3D, backgrounds and icons are all 2D, and you always see them right next to each other. The original devs probably never meant for you to see jagged pixels, it feels like there’s a filter missing. At the same time, filtering/blurring the 2D assets and then displaying them next to the sharper upscaled 3D assets might look even jankier… N64 emulation is a weirdly tough nut to crack, I’m not surprised even Nintendo had to make some compromises with it.

This makes me literally wanna buy Nintendo online just to play with online players on three of my favorite mario party’s

So you can play with friends online but not with random players? In that case, if anyone wants to set up some matches DM me to add me on Switch

Need to get a decent cheap knock-off 2nd controller so I can play with people at home.

The tug of war game is still insanely difficult on Mario Party 1’s mini game island

I remember having to buy Mario Party 2 back in the day because it was always out at Blockbuster, definitely worth it.

Is it still fun if you only have two players?
Elulululo
Pfff WHERE IS DIDDY KONG RACING?!?!
WallStreetKeks
Do pro controllers work for these games?
frankieboytelem
Surprised the consensus here is 2>3. I always thought 3>2.

But when will they release DONKEY KONG 64?!

I wanna play some of the Gamecube Mario Party games, Mario Party 4 and 5 were all-time classics.

I wish they would add more maps to Mario Party Superstars even if you have to pay for them as I”d love to play on more maps.

Can I use switch pro controller for these games or do I have to use joy cons? Mine have major drift 🫠
tymcc80
I feel silly asking but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. Can you play local offline multiplayer with one console? I just want to play it at home with my husband, not online with others.
