Super Mario Party
Every New Exclusive Shown at Nintendo’s Conference
Mario Party is back and better than ever, having been announced as yet another Nintendo Switch exclusive during the E3 2018 conference. The developers have taken this chance to refresh the franchise, opting to look back and use a lot of ideas from the original games. Most of the core concepts are still the same: players pick their Nintendo avatar and take part in a host of hilarious mini-games, pitting you against your friends to earn the most stars.
Similar to the first few games, Super Mario Party adopts the boardgame playing field where players will have to roll dice and move forward. Landing on certain squares yield different mini-games, and you have more than enough tools you can use to sabotage your enemies. Interestingly, the party game makes full use of the console’s connectivity features by pairing two Switches (writer’s note: is the plural of Nintendo Switch called Nintendo’s Switchs or Switches?) together for a unique co-op experience. In line with this, Super Mario Party is all about that couch co-op experience and, as such, won’t have any online multiplayer.
If you’re feeling festive, this Nintendo exclusive is slated to launch on Oct. 5 later this year. Check out some of the new gameplay featured in the Treehouse stream.
