Mario Party Superstars’ deal is that it features boards and minigames from the 3 N64 Mario Party titles. Something to note: because these are all older minigames, they exclusively use button controls rather than joycon motion control. But as somebody who grew up playing these, this was a must-buy.

With Jamboree, it looks like a typical MP release (a la Super Mario Party), but a cool thing here is that they also included two boards from older titles. This brings the total number of boards in jamboree to 7, compared to the 4 in SMP and 5 in MPS. No word though on which minigames might be seeing a return from the older titles. They did confirm that many minigames would use motion controls; if you haven’t played a recent MP, I find that these generally work well, are intuitive for new players, and are good fun.

I’ll probably pick this up because I do play Mario Party with friends and family from time to time. For anyone who doesn’t yet have a MP on the Switch, this does seem like the definitive title to get since it’s both the newest and the biggest, though I would still recommend Mario Party Superstars for anyone with nostalgia for the N64 games.
