Yo, listen up, G-LYFE Nation! If you’ve been craving that old-school Nintendo 64 vibe, mark your calendars for October 26. That’s when Mario Party 3 will make its grand entrance into the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Switch Online library. This is no small deal, peeps; you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership to join in on the fun, and yes, we’re talking online gameplay too!
Say Hello to Waluigi and Daisy
First things first, let’s talk about the roster. Ever since he hit the court in Mario Tennis for the N64, Waluigi has been a fan favorite. This time around, he’s bringing his wild spirit and a chaotic board called Waluigi’s Island, complete with all kinds of devious traps. And don’t sleep on Daisy; this is her Mario Party debut, and she’s got enough charm to hang with the best of ’em.
Mini-Game Madness Galore
Alright, a Mario Party without mini-games is like a console without a controller; it just doesn’t work. This version is packing more than 70—yes, you read that right—70 different mini-games. Whether you’re jumping over clock hands in Tick Tock Hop, competing in a pizza-eating contest in Eatsa Pizza, or scaling icy heights in Snowball Summit, the variety here is off the charts.
Story Mode and New Features
Now, for those of you who like a little narrative with your button-mashing, this is the first Mario Party to sport a Story mode. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to become the universe’s top Superstar. But that’s not all. With six diverse game boards, the introduction of Duel mode, and a whole arsenal of new items, Mario Party 3 aims to keep the party rolling. Oh, and let’s not forget Game Guy, the bow-tie-sporting host who adds that extra spice to the game.
So, get ready to relive those nostalgic moments or experience them for the first time. Either way, it’s time to party like it’s 1999—on your Nintendo Switch!
