Mario Party Retrospective - Nintendrone

Mario Party is a series of games that proves there's no hope for humanity.

[@Nintendrone42]

Since you haven't played Mario Party DS, I thought I'd say it's surprisingly solid and worthy of being in the "good Mario Party game" pile. It's a standard Mario Party game similar to 6-8, with the usual item system and the boards being mostly traditional, but the minigames are quite good. The fact that you can get a full multiplayer experience with a single cart is great, especially since literally everyone has a DS or 3DS.

[@HyperCharge]

To be fair, you could also do full multiplayer with a single cart with every single home console entry! Honestly though, I do have a huge bias for not liking handheld games, so throwing it away in that situation was kind of my way of recusing myself from the discussion.

[@TheLuigidan]

Still my favorite in the series tbh

This video's timing is perfect because Pokemon sword and shield are coming out and your message about how stagnate the mario party series has been is similar to to how people feel about pokemon.

[@alphamarigi]

This video is fucking weird because on one hand it makes good points about Mario Party being a conceptually flawed series but, at the same time made me want to play some fucking Mario Party

[@JumbledMario22]

I’ve been waiting for this video for 3 years since the Mario Kart Retrospective Jesus Christ

[@HyperCharge]

Well, I've been sitting on this script since late 2016, but I've only gotten around to cleaning it up until now. The original video was about 20 minutes covering Mario Party 1-10 and ignored all the handhelds, but it was extremely boring and I didn't think it was worth putting until now

[@jonathanthomas9259]

Six new game boards some brand new minigames syndrome is just hilarious! 22:49 24:22

I keep coming back to these retrospectives every few months since finding the StarFox one when it came out. Really excited for the next one, whenever that ends up happening.

[@jerryseinfield9609]

[@Mostillist]

mario party will never be the same thank you for making this video ni tendo refuses to make this online and trys to put a new twist on every thing all i want is mario partys like the first 8

[@aceattorney3999]

Just got home from work and saw this upload. Made the day much better. Thank you for excellent content!

[@Suprapika]

Can I just say that the visual humor in this video is fantastic. The Exodia Miracle Capsule, the "Mario Party Timeline", the leadup of the throwing games in the trash that led up to the trash can exploding at Top 100. Great shit.

[@ThatsJustLikeYourOpinionMan]

Lol, I love your videos and I'm glad to see you are still posting new ones. Keep up the good work.

Mario Party DS needed 1 cartridge for 4 players? That's the least Nintendo thing Nintendo has ever done.

You forgot Mario Party E, the one that you played on a GBA with the eReader and play with actual cards you have to swipe through the eReader. Lol

is that like a real thing? That sounds hillarious xd

[@adriann9919]

The highlight of my day!

[@PillaPillaPrincess]

I don't think people disliked mario Party 9 because the game was different, they disliked it because the change that was made, was terrible

[@krustykrab_pizza]

I loved 5 and the capsule mechanic so much, it made the game so fun and chaotic, and we would always make a danger zone area with tons of capsules. Just hearing all the capsule effects all in a row makes me wanna go back and play it so bad!

[@nickk3077]

Mario Party DS was hella underrated. Even though this might just seem like “generic Mario Party, but handheld” it really innovates in a lot of positive ways. Firstly, the ENTIRE GAME including the boards and minigames utilizes this gimmick of everything being small, which is cute, fun, and very creative! Secondly, the capsule system has been simplified to a point where it makes sense for it to co-exist with an item system. So, that’s nice. Thirdly, the minigames utilize the console’s unique capabilities very well I think. Like, the mic in Mario Party 7 was stupid because of how it slowed to boards down and how it was used in minigames, but in DS, the blow minigames often have a little more going on in them. The touch and dual screen mini games are also very well done.

[@iKaterinaPetrova]

they need to remasterr mario party 2. it’s so damn good

I haven't been this hyped about Mario Party since I was a kid.

[@chuganoga1908]

The way I see Mario Party is like different kinds of board games. They all have something different going for them. sure they are all the same in concept, but they all give different experiences.

[@Fre4k4life]

I still love mario party 1, never did that palm rotating and my controllers are still fine 😂

[@jerryseinfield9609]

Wow I’m surprised your still alive after making this video 😂 Ur content is just too underrated

[@supermariof0521]

And yet despite this series originally having a new game every year, it was still less oversaturated then "Call Of Duty" cause at least with MP 1-8, they each still had their own identity.

[@mattlee9168]

Your reviews never take into account that for some people the newest system is their first nintendo system. My first mario party was 9 and that was as a grown man. Lots of people are experiencing it now for the first time on switch. That more than anything is why they keep making them. Personally I'm going to keep playing nine because for me, that was the first and best.

Mario party ds actually was pretty good. I remember the mini games being pretty great

[@bbdmoore]

Should do a video on Kirby next

[@adrenalinerush2089]

@hypercharge I urge you to play Mario party Ds is actually really good, here’s why, the story mode it’s pretty good the Ds download are pretty good and they have competitions where you can battle in mini games and see how well you can do. It’s pretty good and I really do think you should at the least watch a video on it or summin.

[@HDRookie]

These long retrospectives are always such a treat. Pretty valid point I guess, it's definitely a weaker series. I only personally like 6 and 7 in hindsight now, though I play 4 / 5 with some friends also who prefer those ones. I kind of think they're bad in comparison, but prefer the GameCube games the most. I liked 6 a lot, and though 7 didn't add a lot, I felt like it was a better balanced game than 6, which was a much better balanced game than 5. Surprised you didn't talk too much about the minigames though. They're honestly what make the series what it is for me. Some of my personal favorites are Pushy Penguins, Booksquirm, Track & Yield, Fun Run, Lift Leapers, Flashfright, Take me Ohm, and games like Sunday Drivers / Hip Hop Drop. Also loved the pure RNG battle games like Bowser's Big Blast and Deck Hands, i always found them hilarious. Also really liked some of the other content, like Dunk Bros and the MP6 maze / mic games. Also always liked watching people play the DK minigame A Bridge too Short, because on the rare instance where DK picks the right path 4/4 times and wins, it's always hilarious. Definitely a game you need 3 dedicated other friends to enjoy to it's highest potential
