Any Mario party fans?

The new ones looks

.

They have Mario soccer but without a way to turn off the time and just play, I can't rock with it.

I can count on my hand how many games look really fun. I know there's a few sleepers in the mix, I'm not digging the tabletop portion of the game. Which sucks because I've been playing more tabletop type games with friends and family this year then I ever have in my life so if that were fun plus the mini games I'd cop this and more Joycons faster than a rabbit gets fukked.



Heres all the games .Watch in 2x for an easier summary of them all.

I figure Nintendo will treat Super Mario Party like the rest of their 1st party titles, release them with barebones content then put out (sometimes) free updates for a year.

Hopefully one of the updates is proper online with boards because not a lot of people have friends and family nearby like it's 1990s anymore.:martin:

I got Mario Party last night. Haven't given it a try yet, but I'll let y'all know how it is once I get a chance to play later.

Just got done playing Mario Party with my wife and daughter for about two hours. A friend of mine is coming over with his son tomorrow and we'll probably get another couple hours from it. Both our kids are ten years old. I'd say i got my money's worth seeing as though i've spent this much on dinner any given weeknight, so I'm not complaining. Don't know how much replay it will see outside of these two days, but if you've got kids, it's great for team building exercises. I wouldn't recommend for adults as a party game though.

I wish the mini games were longer, and we didn't really play the board mode much at all tonight. There's tons of modes outside of it, which was a pleasant surprise though.

Thats exactly how I justify my purchases. I got over 400 hrs out of Zelda before I got bored and 200 hours out of oddessy. Probably more than 200 hours out of Mario and rabbids. If I paid $1 per hour I easily got my monies worth .

I don't if I could squeeze 60 hrs out of this game. A couple of the games look fun and I think I'd enjoy them with the kids but then I'm lookin at buying the game and another set of Joycons .thats $120. I dont see it taking off like that.

I saw they have soccer, is there a way to practice or play mini games without the timer? Or perhaps choose like 5 mini games to play in order or random?

I just played a one player game of soccer and wasn't very impressed. Games are 60 seconds with no way to disable the timer.

Outside of the game board option which lasts at a minimum of sixty minutes, according to the game info, there is a Free Play mode where games are endlessly randomly generated, with no tally of W vs L's from as far as I could tell. When the match is done you can move on to the next random challenge, replay, or go back to the game list. Then there's also a best out of five mode where it looked like it you choose pre-selected game circuits a la mario kart.

There's also a world that hosts a best of five challenge which is strictly filled with rhythm games. Another world consists of a rafting game where you play team based mini games to extend the timer in order to make it to the end.

There's no way to adjust the settings on any of the games, and they're all extremely short which takes away a lot of the fun. None of them really felt all that competitive. I haven't played any yet that stood out to me, but they all work pretty well together when taken in as a whole.

I appreciate it. I think I'll hold off.

Im trying to push myself away from buying the korg software for switch. I said I wouldn't, but now you can export (which you couldn't before). It appears korg is actively supporting the product and giving updates,fixes and features which I didn't think they would. I watched some videos and some people made some very good to borderline amazing tracks which is possible because it's a full DAW but they did it all on switch without keyboard or mouse support, I mean I could make tracks on MTV music generator vol 2 with the controller on ps2, so I could definitely grind and make it work.

I have real music gear and I want to make music a bigger portion of my life in the next year. I take my switch with me 6 days a week to work and usually play something, monopoly, Zelda, nes classic, overcooked 2, something. If I could just open it up and out together a dope ass drum beat or melody, that would be more productive and creative than just playing games.

Get off the couch and get moving with fun, boxing-based rhythmic exercises set to the instrumental beats of songs by popular artists, including Lady Gaga, Pitbull and Kesha. You can personalize your workouts by selecting from different fitness goals. Train your way, whether you're on your own, with a friend, at home, or on the go! Now you can work out anytime, anywhere on the Nintendo Switch system!

Get down your boxing basics while getting down to instrumental versions of 20 unlockable hit songs, including "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepson, and "Sugar" by Maroon 5. Punch and squat while gripping the Joy-Con controllers to get your whole body moving—no additional gym equipment required!

Daily training ranges from 10-40 minutes and offers both Normal and Fast mode. The game software estimates your approximate BMI and daily calories burned so you can track your progress. Choose from a diverse group of trainers and customize their look with unlockable trainer outfits. As you progress, you can earn more songs and more challenging training circuits. If you prefer to work out with a buddy, you can use two sets of Joy-Con controllers or share a pair to enjoy working out cooperatively or test your skills by facing off against each other in a virtual ring!

  • Work up a sweat with boxing-based motion-controlled moves set to rhythm-based workouts
  • Bop along to the instrumental versions of popular songs
  • Personalize workouts by selecting your fitness goals
  • Choose from short to long workouts to fit a variety of lifestyles
  • Play cooperatively with or competitively against friends and family in 2-player local play with two sets of Joy-Con controllers or by sharing a pair.
  • Play at home on the TV or on-the-go in Tabletop mode
  • Tracks your progress by estimating BMI and calories burned to help encourage healthy habits

I won't cop, but I'm an advocate for fitness based games. I just prayed yesterday for a Konami Mocap Boxing port to switch.

I love fitness based games and will cop, but I'm a certified health nut.

The switch is like my primary form of entertainment on the road.

Fitness games are dope, this one ain't for me though. If you could turn off the music and just workout or it had that dope original music like the old wii shop and shyt, I'd instacop. No way they paid all that money and is gonna give you an option to turn soundtrack off.
