Super Mario Party + Red & Blue Joy-Con Bundle Announced

Too many Mario stuffs.
I prefer White and Neon Blue Joy Cons.

What a steal! Overpriced controllers to go along with overpriced games. Nintendo is too generous.

I LOVE this Mario Party!! Really fun

Why not Superstars? It is objectively the better game, and has sold less than Super. As someone who hasn't bought Superstars yet I might've considered that but it's a hard pass now.

Also its becoming increasingly obvious that they're clearing stock for the next console.

@Anti-Matter Then... buy neon blue and white joycons lol, no one is forcing you to buy this.

Download code is a big fat no from me. If you're gonna charge $100 at least let the game be physical

Honestly at this point, a download code for this game is better than the physical game card. Especially since the game is so old now, there's no way a physical game card even in this repackaged set would have My Nintendo gold coins. At least with a digital code you'll still get gold coins and a pair of joy con to boot. That said, this is the weaker of the two Switch focused Mario Parties and even then, I'd say just go with the N64 originals on Switch Online.

Awesome, another pair set for failure, if you catch my drift...

Surprised they're not bundled with Everybody Switch lol

Actually, this isn't a bad deal if you need another set of Joy-Cons. It's like full price for the controllers plus only $20 for the digital version of the game. Not highway robbery, but decent savings nonetheless.

I think this is a great deal for anyone who doesn't own the game but is thinking about it; and anyone who's experiencing drift and needs a new set of joy-cons. For me, we already own that title and I don't think there's a reason to own 2 copies of that one.

@HeftyLaces I know this site (readers, not the site itself) seems to get real ornery over new hardware talk. But I'm with you. Its for sure looking like they're clearing the way for the new console.

As for this bundle, it's a bit tempting. My left Joy-Con is drifting bad. I don't have this game. But I still haven't gotten Wonder yet and that would ultimately be a priority when I don't have a huge backlog

It still upsets me that Mario party superstars wasn’t DLC for this game. This game was ok honestly, the river thing was fun. But this game could have been great with more content

With a download code REALLY?!! 😳😂😂😂

@HeftyLaces Because they want to sell Superstars afterwards at full price.

Man people hate on this game, but my family loves it. Is it the best Mario Party? No. Is it a good one? Hell yeah it is.

What a great deal! If we hadn't just gotten new JoyCons last month . . . I would have totally gone for this . . . even though we already have the game. With a digital download . . . we could leave the cartridge @ home and still have the game with us wherever we take the Switch.

@Goofonzo . . . I agree. It's a good game as far as Mario Party games go. It's nice they have one for this platform. For anyone that is hating on the game . . . it means they are not the target market for the game.

When will Nintendo finally release DLC for Superstars?

Sure miss the days of Nintendo Selects lol

oh well ... this bundle would be waaaay better if it was with Mario Party Superstars instead of Super Mario Party

Don´t get me wrong, SMP is fun, but Superstars is a lot better

@HeftyLaces It makes sense why it’s Super instead of Superstars. You can play Superstars with any controller you like. Super Mario Party works exclusively with joy-cons, so it’s a great pick to bundle with them and shows off some of their fun features.

(Also I prefer Super to Superstars but both are good)

Everyone: "Please add DLC maps to Mario Party Superstars!"
Nintendo, 2 years later:

A bag of rice fell to the ground somewhere in China.....

What a bunch of clowns making a bundle for this game and not Superstars. And it's a digital copy too? Lol

Nintendoes trys to get working what Nintentdont

Yayyyy ! Mario Red & Mario Blue ! Wohooo

@LavaTwilight The red one is definitely not new, as it has been featured in multiple Mario bundles (starting from Odyssey) and was also available separately, at least on their online store (that's where I got my reds).

The blue one is being released for the first time outside of Japan after being exclusive to custom Switch orders on Nintendo's website, though its pair has existed in the Blue + Neon Yellow bundle from October 2019. I honestly feel sorry for the Joy-Con collectors that probably exist, as they really must have it rough with all of these exclusive bundles...

Actual solid red and solid blue ones. They look really good. Very Mario-like.

As polarizing as this game is, I still think it's a genuinely great game that suffers from issues that were easily fixable and aren't even the gameplays fault. We couldve gotten more boards, fixed the SLOW ui, make any controller usable, ect

Now that we have superstars I'd love for them revisit SMP's weirder ideas. Partner Party's is nonlinear board exploration is so fun, and I like how unique each character is with their own dice

Does it come with free repairs for drifting?

There's cheaper ways to say "Merry Christmas, I hate you."

Another code in a box? The packaging is easily big enough, people are just cheaping out now
