Finally... the definitive Mario Party. Now all they need to do is pump it full of DLC boards. This is a collection of some of the best boards and the best minigames from the series past, and finally there's nothing here to screw it all up. Online play is finally a reality and it's here from launch.

To my own personal delight, all of the issues I had with the first game on Switch have been resolved. The boards are interesting again (because they're directly imported from better times), and most importantly, stars cost 20 coins again, and golden pipes are no longer handed out like candy. These fixes to the economy and the much needed return of Boo as a coin sink and method of counterplay mean that strategy is back on the menu, where it always should have been.

Could I ask for more? Absolutely. But other than wanting more of it, I can't find any fault with anything that's here.
