Review Mario Party: Star Rush (3DS)
Fall out with your friends on the go
Perhaps indicative of its stature in the grand scheme of things, Mario Party: Star Rush was initially revealed by a throwaway line in a press release at the end of E3 2016's first day. A series more readily associated with home consoles, Star Rush is the second entry in the IP to arrive on 3DS. That may suggest...

Poll What's The Best Mario Party Game?
Which entry deserves the most stars?
Ahh, Mario Party. The destroyer of friendships. The ice-breaker. The game you get out every holiday season, lose at, only to hide it away for another 365 days but hold a grudge for a lifetime. The Mario Party series has been going since 1998 on the Nintendo 64, causing family squabbles and fabled rivalries ever...

Weirdness Nintendo Commissions a Survey to Try and Sell Mario Party Star Rush to Guilty Parents
Sure, why not
Nintendo has a lot of money, and can spend it as it darn well pleases, but a press release from Nintendo of America has us a little baffled. It seems the subsidiary hired a survey company (they're not necessarily cheap, either) to quiz parents about how bad they feel about time they can't spend with their children; this data has then...

Supporting a good cause
We don't always share Nintendo of America's sometimes-gimmicky PR events for promoting games. Typically shared via a press release, they consist of some carefully taken publicity shots of the public enjoying a game at an event, and aren't often particularly interesting. Nevertheless the most recent event is worth an...

Nintendo had two major retail releases last week - Paper Mario: Color Splash on Wii U and Mario Party: Star Rush on 3DS; one achieved a respectable albeit unremarkable result in the UK charts, and the other fell flat. Paper Mario: Color Splash, despite spelling colour wrong for the UK market, managed to secure 14th place in its debut...

Preview Being Fashionably Late With Mario Party: Star Rush
A good workout for the A button
The Mario Party series has, believe it or not, had a relatively interesting history. Despite being a minigame series that most don't take too seriously, it prompted injuries and glove distributions on N64, was developed by Hudson Soft for a long time until that studio went out of business, and nowadays attracts...
First Impressions Exploring Whether Toad is a Fungi in Mario Party Star Rush
Getting the party started
Mario Party Star Rush was one of only a few new Nintendo announcements out of E3, with Ever Oasis by Grezzo (due in 2017) being the other major reveal. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was arguably a reveal too, but that was perhaps more of an unveiling, as it's a game we'd known about for around two years before it...

Totally unexpected.
And totally unnecessary...
So much fantastic IP and yet Nintendo continue to exploit the ones that most fans are least into.
I remember my dad, sister and I playing a game of Mario Party every night in the summer.
Then they went and @#$%ed up their tried and true formula and it just isn't fun anymore.
This could go either way. I hope for it to be good though
After all the footages and info, I'm definitely excited for this game, especially after how "amazing" Island Tour was.
Does anyone know what is the max amount of players?
@MadAdam81 Four. (through Guest Play, using the e-shop program)
bought this on a hunch that it will be good. So far its the best handheld Mario Party
This game is really fun. The minigames are really fun and this is a lot better than Mario Party Island Tour and the Toad Scramble in this game is great and the objective of Toad Scramble is really great.
I want to play this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
