The Nintendo 64 classic is heading to the Japanese Wii U eShop. But when can we expect Mario Party 2 to arrive in other territories?
Grab your friends for more anarchic boardgame madness in Mario's second party release
Mario Party 1 has been regarded as one of the worst Mario titles ever: Nintendo did a better job with Mario Party 2.
The greatest "drinking beer with your friends and like 1 of their kids is there too" series of all time deserves more respect.
This week, Game Informer published their review for Super Mario Party. They described the game as something that’s fun to play.
What you may not know is 18 years ago, when Game Informer reviewed Mario Party and Mario Party 2, they gave both games very negative reviews.
How did Nintendo respond to these negative reviews? They sent a framed poster to Game Informer.

Not sure about the OG Mario Parties. I did play, 5 (?) on the Gamecube and it was definitely a blast. An interesting and fun take on a video game/board game. Best with friends but even alone it had it's value for being fun; albeit limited.
1 to 3 are the best Mario Party games. 4 was good but they started to fall off from that game going forward. 5 was good to though
Mario Party 1,2,3 are classics......I can't recall anybody we played with back in the day not liking these games.
Some critics think it's their job to be negative.
Eh i really enjoyed the first game on the 64, but as with everything else.. each to his own. I'm not fussed on Smash brothers or Pokemon either but plenty seem to like them.
People just love to bash at the end of the day. I don't pay attention to game reviews all that much unless they are all rated low, like in the 4-5 range, same with films.
The first two were the best ones, at least in my opinion. The first was an interesting, and skin losing, experience. The second outing really expanded on the formula and delivered some fun mini games. Nevertheless, I appreciate Nintendo's humor, or Howard Lincoln's rather, and Game Informer's "glowing" opinion.
It is my opinion too. To be honest I have not played all Mario Party games but almost all 1 to 9. I dodn't have Wii U, so I don't play the 10th of the series. So, 1 and 2 were the best.
The only problem with those games was the N64 control stick fatigue of the controller. I had to repair it very often.
Hope they don't drip feed this series think there was 4 on N64 and whilst pretty fun not really my bag come on Nintendo where's all the other N64 classics, beetle racing? Ok not a classic but I have fond memory's I'd have another blast. Cheap Lylat wars this week tho sold, and both donkey kongs, can't wait to see what other SNES games are due.
I really wish Nintendo had some form of a release schedule not for the whole year as that's obviously asking far too much but maybe for at least the next 2-3 months a list of Virtual console games that are due to come to Wii U or 3DS, rather than only finding out each Monday what's coming Thursday (in the U.K anyway) they were happy for us to know about Pokemon months in advance wish they would say these games are in the pipeline for these consoles 3ds / Gb, GBC, GBA? DS? N64? (Gotta dream) NES and SNES, and obviously the same for Wii U but including GameCube games that were rumoured 1-2 years ago but never appeared and would be much more useful than the Wii games on VC that I already own. Let us know what's coming up please Nintendo.
Man I was just looking for 2 and 3 on the European eShop this week since I've been in a MP mood and have heard those are the best. Hopefully we might at least get one of them at some stage.
