Mario doesn’t spend all his days jumping around and kicking Bowser’s behind from here to the moon - he’s also the biggest party animal on the face of the Earth. Glimpse how Mario celebrates all the victories he’s had over the years with Mario Party, a game that - along with its sequels - is unlike any other for the N64, offering some of the system’s greatest multiplayer gaming. Over 50 mini-games make Mario Party a monster cartridge bulging with multiplayer fun.Mario …

    By JAMES ANTHONY Mario Party is Nintendo's latest cash-in on that lovable little freak and his equally lovable mates in what has to be the surprise package of the year. What I want to know is where's the titles before it? Were they Japanese only releases on the SNES that went flop? Or are they simply LCD handheld games? Anyway, I like this game and I wouldn't mind seeing the original if there is in fact one. To get your head around the basic premise of MP, picture this:... Read more

    The history of console-based board games is a bit like Lino Ventura; short, dark and not very cheerful. After all, one doesn't need to explain why the idea of playing Monopoly on your Super NES was always doomed to failure. But Mario Party, one of the first fruits of Nintendo and Hudson's joining hands has made a brave, and surprisingly rather succesful attempt at transforming this ill-fated gaming subgenre into something more like Jean-Paul Belmondo (in his younger...

    Publishers at Nintendo certainly took a gamble when they came out with Mario Party: would people actually play a video game that played like a board game? Now with 8 volumes, I'm pretty sure it is clear that the gamble was worth it. Mario Party is ... Read more
