I was so happy they went back to traditional Mario Party! Game comes with 5 boards and a great selection of minigames from across the series. Unfortunately the board selection does get tiring after a while and I wish DLC would add more boards and characters into the game. With that said, this is the first Mario Party game to get online play at launch and that's awesome!
It's technically a good game. It's Mario Party: The Top 100 but done right, giving people fun past boards to play on in addition to a strong lineup of minigames. It just bums me out how much wasted potential there is here. Nintendo released DLC for Mario Kart 8 years after the fact, so never say never I guess ---- but getting no additional DLC boards to bolster this game just kinda blows my mind. It's good, but could've been so much more.
A great way to revitalize the series, even better than Super. I'll admit the collection of minigames isn't the best; I think it leans way too heavily towards the N64 era and there are some real oddball choices on top of that (seriously, out of all the minigames from 9, you picked Manor of Escape?), but for the most part it's a good selection. And while I would've certainly liked to see some GameCube boards, the ones they picked are really strong. Plus, full online support from the get-go is not only fun, but helped introduce a new wave of Let's Players to the magic of Mario Party.

really good Mario Party, not all the boards are great imo (I don't like Peach's Birthday Cake) but the minigame selection is stellar. kinda sad to see we haven't gotten a truly good classic formula Mario Party in a while now... (and I say that when I'm one of these people that likes Super Mario Party) but you know, it'd be a bit hypocritical to ask for that while also dismissing a good remake such as Superstars.
this is a pretty good step in the right direction but it'd be so good to have a brand new, great, flamboyant entry in the franchise. in the meantime I'll just pull up this game at friend gatherings and enjoy myself as I lose for the 40th time to my brother.
