Mario Party Superstars' mini-games, however, come from across the expansive history of the series. Each of these boards has been remade from the ground up, including the same layout, spaces, and special events as the original, but bringing it into the modern age of gaming with updated visuals. All five of Mario Party Superstars' boards come from the first three Mario Party titles, originally released on the Nintendo 64. Releasing in October of last year, Mario Party Superstars is a celebration, and collection of the best that the Mario Party series has to offer.

A few months ago, Nintendo released an Expansion Pack for the service, which added N64 and Sega Genesis games to the mix, albeit for a much higher price tag. One of the key selling points of Nintendo Switch Online when it first released was the decent selection of free NES and SNES games on the service. However, Nintendo Switch Online made huge strides with its title offerings, including games like Mario Party now. Unfortunately, Nintendo Switch Online's service isn't much better, suffering from the same technical issues as its predecessor. The Wii U's online functionality didn't fare much better, with constant latency issues plaguing every game. Starting on the immensely popular Wii, Nintendo's first true foray into the world of online gaming was pretty lackluster, especially compared to its Xbox Live and PSN at the time. Over the last few console generations, Nintendo's online services haven't been received all too well.
