Its in the e3 reveal video in the OP. If you pause the screen where it says there are 100 minigames, you can see screens of quite a few of them.
I don't get it - what's the gimmick that it's too reliant on? It's not a particularly zany map. It's just like any other mario party map but a bit smaller
I feel like the Bomb map is the only one that has a punishing mechanic, which most other good mario parties have.
King Bomb in the middle, bomb allies, conveyor belts. Along with the map being really small you're forced into that crap all the time. It's not horrible but it can be stupid. I'm down for punishing mechanics, but they're more annoying here than anything.
Haha
I kind of doubt it'll be a thing in this game - if you think back to Super Mario Party, all the boards were obviously grid-shaped even when the "Mario Party" paths were drawn onto them. Since this one is lifting classic boards, it would be pretty much impossible to fit that sort of style onto them. The Partner Party mode was also heavily based on Mario Party Star Rush's mechanics on 3DS, and now that this game has such a clear remake direction, they probably are going to move further away from those unique mechanics. The dice system in general being 1-10 is sign of that, doesn't really fit well with the custom dice thing.
Mario Party 5 to 7 (8?) had a "Team Match" mode at least where you could fix the game to 2v2 for the whole board, but it was traditional mechanics. Probably unlikely to return though.
Mario Party 8 was alright but it was definitely a downturn before the series really went weird with 9. I'm only digging into the Treehouse footage now but generally I'd never not recommend the original trilogy of Mario Party games, lol. Stellar games. You might not want recommendations for this series from me though because even if this one has some silly changes mixed in I've never been disappointed by any of these games lol, it's a blessing they've made so many at all and tried variations of it.

It was in the top 100 collection so I can't imagine they'd remove it from this.
They even took a heavier hand to it in Top 100 and re-worked the physics to not stalemate so easily lol, so I think they recognize the game is well-liked enough to bring it back and also avoid a situation like this:
They got away with the absolutely anemic Super Mario Party for 60 dollars. Why wouldn't you try it again while simultaneously reusing a bulk of the former games assets?
"but there were other modes where the boards were technically different!"
Haha I've heard this shit too many times smh. If only they were as good as the main mode lol"but there were other modes where the boards were technically different!"
A bit bummed its only 5 boards. Would have been sweet if it was 5 boards and the minigames as an expansion to Super Mario Party. Feel like Super had the best batch of minigames the series has ever had and to just have 100 classic ones in a separate release is a little deflating.
This was the highlight of the direct for me. A remake compilation of a few classic game boards and 100 classic mini-games is pretty freaking tight. Sucks it's only 5 boards and not 6, though. That means the count won't spread evenly amongst all 3 N64 games. Six boards was minimum back in the day, and it should've stayed that way.
Oh man how did I miss that. Very cool. Wonder how many turns they let us go with random lol
5 boards is a disappointment especially when two of the boards shown are imo the worst boards in MP1 and MP2 respectively.
This is seriously only 5 boards? They're also just taking old boards. Why wouldn't you just include more of the old ones? You have so much to pull from.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.
How can it be the worst if Mystery Land exists?
(This is like the 3rd time I've had to come to the defense of Space Land in this thread lol. You all are silly)
"but there were other modes where the boards were technically different!"
Can't deny I made the Era thread to defend this and while I think people poorly dismiss the Partner Party mode, I have to admit I soured on it a little over time. Like some people have iterated in this thread Super Mario Party was deceptively strategic at first but over time you kind of start to realize how the economy and small boards really fail it, I'd probably have been happier with it if the four boards were all stellar. Even then, I think the boards aren't the game's biggest failing.
The problem with space land and why I think it's the worst board in MP2 is the stupid speeders. You spend half the board being sent back over the same dozen or so spaces by that awful happening event and the only escape is the speed trap which potentially sends you even further away from where you want to go. MP3's action events fixed this issue in chilly waters with the action command to jump the obstacle.

I always find it funny how you can always find Nintendo dick riders ready to defend their obviously shitty behavior
Looks great. I didn't like the other MP game on Switch due to the controls, so I am considering buying this game at some point.
Why it wouldn't be full price? Super was so there is no reason to think this one won't
To be honest i can't wait for the amount of videos of "Luigi wins for doing nothing", is always funny seeing how the AI screws upIt is confirmed in! It was on the stream.

Agreed, and I'll take Space Land over "never getting to leave the first island because of the bridge's happening spaces," Pirate Land.
Also, watching all your friends lose their coins in Space Land is hilaaaaarious.
I am confused at those saying this should be DLC.
Nintendo cranked out 10 Mario Party games in as many years expecting people to buy new entries almost annually. This is the second Mario Party game for the Switch - releasing 3 years after Super Mario Party.
Additionally, due to its controls, it would be impractical to have Lite owners purchase Super Mario Party and buy DLC when the base game would essentially be unplayable on the system.
No one can deny Super Mario Party has some glaring issues. Superstars seems to be tackling many of these issues for the better. Only 5 playable boards is disappointing, but I see many other improvements that make this seem like a solid choice for fans of the series.
I'm not saying there aren't things to criticize about the game, but I think calling it DLC is a bit much.

Random thought but I always found it funny in MP2 that the pirate map was labeled as low difficulty when it's nearly impossible to get anywhere without being blown up by cannonballs or being forced to ride the stupid shark. Meanwhile horror land was high difficulty when it's probably the easiest map to get around besides the western one.
