Super Mario Party Gets Surprise Update After Nearly Three Years

Super Mario Party Gets Surprise Update After Nearly Three Years

Rocco Biondo, Staff Writer

Nintendo recently dropped a surprise update for Super Mario Party for the Nintendo Switch, and it added online support to the majority of the game, via Nintendo’s paid online subscription Nintendo Switch Online.

Back when the game first launched in 2018, the game severely lacked online functionality, only allowing you to play certain short minigames. But now you can play almost the entire game with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, so now you can play online with your buddies during quarantine.

The only things you can’t play online are the following 10 minigames:

  • Strike It Rich
  • Time to Shine
  • Take a Stab
  • All-Star Swingers
  • Rhythm and Bruise
  • Pep Rally
  • Wiped Out
  • Fiddler on the Hoof
  • Clearing the Table
  • Baton and On

Although the update is pretty out of nowhere, it is still a nice touch from Nintendo, even almost three years later.
