Nintendo has released a launch trailer for Super Mario Party - despite the game not actually launching for another couple of weeks - giving us a good, lengthy look at the all the fun on offer.
As well as showing footage of various minigames and boards that players will be exploring, the trailer also showcases how the single Joy-Con control scheme is used to full effect (with all sorts motion controls enhancing the party vibe). On top of this, we get a good, long look at the dual Switch options, where two Switch consoles can be placed side by side on a table to create one joint touchscreen.
Interestingly, we couldn't help but notice that the Joy-Con used in the video look rather different to the models available to us in stores; we've captured a screenshot below to give you a better look (and you can see them for yourself at the 1:52 mark). The green in particular has a somewhat minty flavour to it, and the yellow one appears to be rather non-neon, too. Could these be new designs? Custom shells? Or have they just been coloured this way to avoid issues when filming? Who knows?
If you're at EGX in the UK this weekend, make sure to give the game a go at the Nintendo area if you're interested. For everyone not attending, remember that the game is available on 5th October.
Are you down for another party at Mario's? Would you like to see these Joy-Con become available to buy? Let us know down below.

Pastel colours? Count me in
I’m still waiting on the green and pink joy on straps to release here... I presume they will now this video has come to light
YO...!!
That Mint Green Joy Con + Strap & Banana Yellow Joy Con + Strap.
Those Joy Cons are Colorful.
But.... the Switch itself is still BLACK.
Come On, Nintendo !
Gimme Official White Joy Con grip, White Joy Con strap, White Dock.
Only Nintendo does a 4+ minutes video about a collection of mini games. Lost me at min 2.
Only "color" I want is a White Switch. And they got a sale. Same way SONY got me to buy another VITA 😞
The colors are cool and all, but I would settle for working joy cons at this point!
As for the game, this ship has already sailed on the series after the Wii U game. Some of the new content looks interesting but the core game doesn't look like it's changed enough.
Ok, watering the plant @ 28 seconds in looks wrong.
I still wish Classic Mario party was online, and not just the minigames, might get this for Christmas from someone
Youre all tripping thats just a filter theyre using....they still look pretty neon to me
Huh? These are the regular red, blue, Arms ans Splatoon Joy-Cons. Maybe the color balance is a little bit off, but those are surley no new controllers.
This looks great.
So excited for this game. Never played a Mario Party before but this looks ace. A bit salty we will have to buy 2 copies but I'm sure we'll get our money's worth!
Fun detail: going clockwise around, the blue/red/yellow/green arrangements of the joycons is the same as arrangement of the buttons on an SNES controller.
@Medic_alert I think my fiancée said it best, Green for Luigi/Yoshi and Pink for Peach
Those motion controls...

They were talking about this 6 days ago, why not credit the original person.
cant wait for this to release gonna have a solid party night for sure haha
does it come with friends to play with too?
It’s probably something with the lighting or filtering in that video.
But I really hope we get some delicious pastel colored Joy-Con
What is everybody talking about?
Those are the regular Neon Yellow and Neon Green Joy Cons. They look pastel-colored due to the video, but they're the regular Neon Joy Cons.
Seriously... sheesh..
i skipped Mario party 9 and 10 as well as the DS and 3DS versions., so i am ready for the next version.
however, i still play the GameCube versions of Mario party from time to time. as well as the Mario party 4 online demo that has not been taken down. its always nice to play old school Mario games with a friend or two even if you are clouds away...lmao
I'm so excited for this! Just 2 more weeks!
I was thinking, since the minigames can have more than 4 characters playing, ala having more characters join your party during party mode, I wonder if in the future they will have 8 player sma.... I mean party!
Have party mode where it could be 4 players roll first, then minigames then the next 4, 4 teams of coop, or have all 8 people go then minigame.
But I feel that 8 player minigames are inevitable and would be cool. I hope this comes and the ability to play Party board mode online with friends (through update or new game)
And also, I wonder if there will be DLC of classic board games and minigames from past entries? I would pay $5 or so (free is even better) to have some MP3 and MP1 games on here.
They look like the regular Splatoon joycon to me
Mint and Banana "flavors" perhaps. Sigh... still no sign of black or white joycons.
Yes it's to do with colour correction when filming.
@JamesJose7 I feel your pain.......my pain too
I'm not really a mini game person, but this is the first Mario Party to get me really excited. Mario Party 10 looked good too, but I just bought it out of curiosity more than anything else.
Looks like animal crossing colours to me. Nintendo are probably planning an animal crossing switch edition next year and those could be mock ups.
@Anti-Matter
Amen! Plus white for the Switch itself, of course.
@Agramonte
Ditto. They release a white Switch, and I'll buy/pre-order it instantly.
@Morgan19 great eye!
@Agramonte 80+ new Mini-Games, 1 to 4 player local and online. Multi-Switch 1-4 player or local 2-v-2. 7 modes: River Survival, Mario Party Mode, 2-v-2 Mode, Mini-Game Mode, Toad's Rec Room, the Mission-Based Challenge Road and Online Mariothon.
I mean what the hell else do you want in a party game.
Can’t wait for this game! I want pastel joycons that match my pastel cardigan.
@ryancraddock I’m so confused - even if I hold my joycon up to the screen they are identical to the picture... The only thing that makes them look a bit different to mine is that they have the coloured holder/ LR button slider on top instead of the black.
A whole section of an article over literally nothing? So confused.
@Folkloner It is a collection of "mini games"... at home, online, 2v2 on and on... it is still just that - a bunch of mini games.
I want these, but not as much as I want themes on the Switch.
It's probably something to do with the lighting or the editing. At least I hope they wouldn't release such mildly different joy-cons.
I would like more colors and more options but actually new colors and options! Not slight variations on colors we already have!
I saw a great idea the other day of alternative official joy cons, with a proper D pad on the left one in place of the joystick, Gamecube styled ones with analog triggers, and such. Nintendo should take more advantage of the modular nature of the system.
