Super Mario Party Jamboree Review

[@yaryoo]

much better than the eurogamer review that says "i miss the golden days of the series" immediately followed by "i never liked these games" while also saying that unlockable content is gatekeeping

[@SALTYTOAD00]

Having unlockable content to me is just a selling point, because it gives you an incentive to keep playing.

[@averageyoutubeuser408]

The feeling of unlocking characters, like in super smash, back in the days was a feeling that i miss so much in video games...

[@mjr0947]

The unlockable content in this game actually takes skill rather than buying it with coins and that’s a good thing

[@matthewwilliams8244]

That’s the problem they get reviewers who have never played or never liked Mario party so it’s like don’t let them review

[@LG555]

​@@averageyoutubeuser408sadly, the suprise factor from these unlockable characters is completely gone thanks to the internet.

With 10 being the low point of the series i feel like they've made a real effort to make it good again since. Im glad Jamboree looks to be great

[@SALTYTOAD00]

I'd argue the lowest point of the series was Top 100.

[@how-togamer]

@@SALTYTOAD00 Top 100 was not a home console entry. It was a bit lackluster, but at least it was on a handheld. I would say 9 was the low point, since at least 10 tried something else new that is kinda fun

[@jeffbryner5355]

@FullmetalAsian I actually like 10 and 9 alot. Bowser party could have been aweswithif there was more then 5 mini games to play. I think super mario party or mp8 would be the lowest in my book.

[@kei.13]

@powerstart24 Nah the old games used to be *way* less random and luck based. You'd need to actually win minigames to have the coins to buy items and stars. Now there's a lucky space every 5 spaces that evens out the standings by always giving the most coins/best items to the person in last and the worst stuff to the person in first. In the old Mario Partys if you lost every single minigame you'd have 0% chance of winning. Now you can easily lose every minigame and still win.

This seems like an upgrade for sure. I hated how "casual" Superstars felt. Items were super cheap and plentiful, extremely broken items (looking at you Warp Pipe), and some of the maps were extremely small/broken/boring. The final map on that game was basically a simple loop everyone was on and the first one to the item store won because they could almost certainly buy the warp pipe and go to the star. I'm hoping this game has fixed many of those issues! The only other thing I want them to do now is to release more boards and minigames and then we will be in a much better place! I liked the Ally system in the previous game enough, and it's interesting to see it return here, but I'll reserve judgement until I play it. I would love a game like this but a "best of" version with the best boards and minigames from all of the Mario Party games. No extra BS or fluff, just pure competitive Mario Party goodness.
