By way of an official video from Nintendo's site showing off what seems to be finalized Super Mario Party gameplay (it is coming in roughly a month after all), we seem to have a full roster confirmation. Naturally Nintendo's Fab Three (Mari...

Every time Nintendo rolls out a new Mario Party, I wonder if this will be it: if this might finally be a Mario Party game that doesn't end with my group feeling annoyed at best or downright hostile with each other at worst. I feel like I ne...

Nintendo’s E3 threw me for a loop. I was hoping for detailed breakdowns on most of the Switch reveals we got last year, but we don’t really know anything new on most of them, nor have we seen many new reveals. And yet, the new...

I never thought we'd see the day, but according to Nintendo's E3 Treehouse stream, we're finally getting a Mario Party game with online play... sort of. The Treehouse briefly discussed one of Super Mario Party's modes, Mariothon, in which p...

During today's E3 Nintendo Direct presentation, the company revealed a whole new Mario Party, coming to Nintendo Switch, the originally titled Super Mario Party.The game can use multiple screens and Joy-Con to guide the players around the b...

I'm creeping into my late twenties, which means a lot of the people in my social circles are getting married and deciding to have children. Instead of buying sarcastic t-shirts about how I am very much not about that life right now, while s...

It seems as though the best of the Mario Party games are far, far behind us. The most recent installments have come out to lackluster reception, and are getting even fewer and far between as of late. Nintendo takes a stab at recreating the ...

A prototype appearing this week at trade show IAAPA 2017, confirms that the Japanese arcade game Mario Party no Fushigi Wonderland is being localised for release in Western locations.The transition to English-speaking territories is the res...

Every time I play Mario Party, I think it's going to be a grand old time. But, once the last turn wraps up, bonus stars are awarded, and a winner is named, I swear off the series "forever." These are cruel games meant for cruel people and y...

I'm pretty excited for this. I spent way too much time playing Mario Party (before 9 where everything became the worst thing ever), so the fact that they're collecting together 100 of the "best" ones over the ten game series with new visua...

This one is tough to write. It sort of feels like a veil has been pulled back for me. After all these years I can finally say the words out loud, Mario Party is a bad video game. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of fun with it over the y...

Mario Party: Star Rush let me experience something special that is hard to find these days: I got to watch a friend play their first Mario Party while getting console-throwing enraged. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, so for...

Whether it was always a case of it not being "final" boxart or a reaction to the fact that they were caught re-using their own assets, Mario Party Star Rush has new artwork, unveiled at gamescom this week. I sincerely hope this it...

Pokémon Sun and Moon will be demoed and Yo-kai Watch 2 is coming to Europe -- that's just two of many announced plans that Nintendo has detailed for its gamescom brief. Here's a summary of what it has in store (note: most o...

As pointed out by an astute commenter yesterday, the art for Mario Party: Star Rush seems to have been generously lifted off of an official Nintendo SpagettiOs can. It makes you wonder how many times the publisher has done this pr...

Nintendo announced Mario Party Star Rush yesterday buried in a press release, but today they're giving it a bit more fanfare. In addition to showing actual gameplay, they detailed a few of the game's systems. It seems like it'll sport ...

Buried beneath the announcement of the new Zelda and its accompanying amiibo, Nintendo also let us know that a new Mario Party is on the way. What?It's called Mario Party Star Rush, and will launch on November 4 on 3DS. That's pre...

After following up 7, Mario Kart 8 was a breath of fresh air. I loved playing it for months on end, there was just one major problem -- the "battle mode" sucked. I called Nintendo "out of their mind" back in 2014, and I stand by that s...

Mario Party might be accused of producing the same concepts over and over again, but it has a storied and interesting history to it. Most older gamers will likely remember the "glove" incident, where the Nintendo 64 controller was so t...

You're leading by four Stars in Mario Party -- it's down to the final few turns -- and you've won most of the minigames so far so you're pretty sure the Minigame Star in the bag. Then your friend uncovers a hidden Star, gets a free Boo...

Whenever something hits the Virtual Console, most people kind of assume all the features are in tow. But that's often not the case, so we like to report on it just so you guys have all of the information (like when the original Metroid ...

Nintendo games age somewhere in between a wine and a new car. We keep getting older and they just stay the same (price). The exception is in the "Nintendo Selects" line, which takes games that have already sold very well and begrudgingly, f...

[Update: I am being told by a source at GameStop that Silver Mario will not be available for pre-order, and should be in-store on May 29 for purchase. "No replenishment" is the expectation being communicated to stores nationwide.] Afte...

It doesn’t seem too long ago that Nintendo were struggling. With the slow sales of the Wii U that hit profits back in 2013 and the dwinding 3DS user base in 2014, It looked like the little (pfffft) company that could unfortunately jus...

Remember when I wrote that review and said I fucking hate dinosaurs? I take that statement back. I'm in love with Yoshi in Mario Party 10 -- just look at the fuck-me eyes and seductive tail waggle he gives you when in third place on the re...
