Mario Party Superstars is Nintendo’s chance to bring back a whole bunch of content from the series’ earlier days. Aside from featuring a few boards from the N64 era, we’re also getting returning mini-games up through the GameCube titles.

We’ve already seen how much Mario Party Superstars is providing a boost in visuals. Other than that though, it looks like the team is considering some important details.

Mario Party: The Top 100 sold through 60% of its initial shipment in Japan

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments

Mario Party: The Top 100 debuted in Japan on December 28. Through December 31, it moved a little over 50,000 copies. Dengeki further adds that the game sold through roughly 60% of its initial shipment.

We also know that Mario Party: The Top 100 sold another 50,000 copies in its second week, so sales remained very steady. Part of that is likely due to carryover from the holidays. Even so, for the kind of game it is, Nintendo is likely pleased with how it’s selling thus far.

Mario Party: The Top 100 release moved forward in Europe, now launches December 22nd

Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Less than two weeks ago, Nintendo announced the release date for Mario Party: The Top 100 in Europe. The game was set to launch on January 5th next year. In a somewhat surprising move, Nintendo announced today that the game would instead launch on December 22nd this year. Usually when release dates change it means they’re delayed, so this is definitely a welcome surprise. The reasoning for the release date change is unclear, though perhaps Nintendo wanted to profit from some last-minute Christmas shoppers.
