Mario Party, alongside Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart, is one of the most beloved series featuring the iconic plumber. Its gameplay is accessible, the boards are enjoyable, and the minigames are addictive, ensuring that players keep returning for more. Since its inception, players have been captivated by the offerings of Mario Party, and the franchise continues to thrive. However, recent developments may present challenges for the next installment.

The Nintendo Switch has seen an abundance of exciting titles and has been a home to nearly every major Nintendo franchise. Mario Party has enjoyed a strong presence on the console, but the studio has done little to provide post-launch content for the latest releases. Both Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars seem to have been neglected, leaving players with little incentive to invest in the upcoming game.

Mario Party Fans Have Been Scorned Too Many Times

After several controversial titles during the Wii and Wii U era, Mario Party fans were unsure what to expect from the franchise. NDcube had introduced unnecessary features like the car mechanic in Mario Party 9 and the minigames were not as enjoyable as they once were. Fortunately, it seemed that the studio was listening to the fanbase when they released Super Mario Party. However, the game fell short in terms of content compared to its predecessors. Although it appeared that the studio would expand the game through post-launch updates, it was eventually abandoned after just three years. Mario Party Superstars aimed to bring the franchise back to its roots and serve as a celebration of its history, but it suffered the same fate as Super Mario Party. Despite the possibility of Nintendo releasing DLC in the future, there has been no news regarding additional content for the past two years.

Rumors are circulating about the upcoming release of the next Nintendo console, which may also bring a new Mario Party game designed to take full advantage of the hardware. Although the excitement for new games is understandable, fans should exercise caution. If Nintendo does not plan on offering additional content after the game's release, there would be little incentive for players to invest in it. Just like the previous two games, it might be quickly abandoned, leaving some players feeling like they wasted their money.

Although there is no official confirmation on the development of a new Mario Party game, there is a strong possibility that it is currently underway. If the studio wants its fanbase to show support, they must ensure that they genuinely commit to it this time. Continually abandoning games could result in a disgruntled fanbase and potentially harm the long-term success of this beloved franchise.

Mario Party Superstars is available now on Switch.
