Mario Party Superstars Revives N64 Boards and Classic Minigames on Nintendo Switch

Mario Party Superstars Revives N64 Boards and Classic Minigames on Nintendo Switch The Mario Party series has long been a staple of social gaming, and with the upcoming release of Mario Party Superstars for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo invites fans to revisit a golden era of party games.

Launching globally on October 29, 2021, Mario Party Superstars celebrates the franchise’s rich Nintendo 64 legacy by reimagining iconic boards and bringing back fan-favorite minigames, further cementing its place in Nintendo’s storied party lineup. Developed and published by Nintendo, Mario Party Superstars taps directly into nostalgia with five lovingly recreated boards from the Nintendo 64 era.

Long-time fans will recognize classic settings like Peach’s Birthday Cake and Space Land, now revitalized with enhanced visuals and modern gameplay enhancements designed for the Nintendo Switch platform.

The title features a robust collection of more than 100 minigames drawn from previous entries in the series, offering both new and returning players endless opportunities for friendly competition. For the first time in the mainline series, Mario Party Superstars introduces comprehensive online multiplayer features.

Players can now enjoy all board modes with friends locally or online, and the minigame mode supports multiplayer battles across the globe.

This integration of online functionality builds on the recent success of Super Mario Party’s online update, further leveraging Nintendo Switch Online’s expanding capabilities and keeping the party alive even at a distance. "Mario Party Superstars aims to revitalize the magic of the series’ early days, bringing celebrated content to both returning fans and newcomers," a Nintendo representative stated in connection with the game’s reveal.

The button-only control scheme ensures compatibility with all Nintendo Switch models, including the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite, allowing for greater accessibility. Since its initial debut on the Nintendo 64 in 1998, the Mario Party franchise has become one of Nintendo’s most enduring multiplayer properties, selling millions of copies worldwide and evolving with each console generation.

With Mario Party Superstars, the series not only honors its N64 origins but also redefines its multiplayer experience for a new generation of gamers via online connectivity and updated gameplay. Mario Party Superstars will be available both as a physical release and on the Nintendo eShop, making joining the party easier than ever.

Whether reliving classic challenges or creating new memories with friends, Mario Party Superstars stands poised to become an essential addition to any Nintendo Switch library this holiday season.
