![]() ![]() Graphically Mario Party 10 is a good looking game on the Nintendo Wii U, especially with the inclusion of HD graphics and although it still looks quite cartoon-like in its presentation, it’s oozing with lots of Nintendo references and the colours looking amazing on a Full HD TV that are almost exploding out of your TV set. So yeah, we’ve seen some of this before but not in glorious HD graphics that really makes this quite a slick looking game. ![]() However nothing is more fun than using Bowser’s fire breathing abilities to hamper the other players or engaging in the amazing giant hamster wheel which is very fun and quite surreal as he spins it around furiously. Also, being Bowser with the Gamepad is like being some naughty Dungeon Master as you can control more elements on the board which makes for some wickedly entertaining fun, especially setting traps for players. In this mode, the person controlling Bowser uses the Gamepad to launch havoc against the other players as they try to eliminate them from various mini-games.It’s also fun to use the gyro aspect of the GamePad and the microphone which requires players to blow on the microphone so that Bowser can unleash fireballs. My favourite element of this game is the Bowser Party Mode which allows one player to control Bowser while the other four players as “Team Mario” who must challenge this cartoon villain, not to mention some great cooperative boss battles. With that said, developers Nd Cube have included over 70 mini-games and some really fun power-ups to be found along the way. However if you played this title alone, it would be quite boring but with the inclusion of up to 5 players, the whole game takes on a new personality. Like previous incarnations, there is a central gaming board that must be navigated by the players as they roll dice, collect stars and engage in a variety of fun and sometimes mediocre mini-games. ![]() Also, like previous Mario Party instalments, gamers must use the Wii Remotes to control the games (up to four players) or they can use the GamePad to control the scheming Bowser. When you use the amiibo’s in the game, the board changes to the theme of the character which even has special pieces for these characters and definitely spices up the gameplay.Īnother new additional to the franchise is the inclusion of Bowser who is now a playable character and once this crazy dragon crashes the Mario Party, it’s up to the other players to challenge this loveable villain with up to five players in Bowser’s Party Mode. With that said and unlike Toy Story or Skylanders, amiibo’s don’t require a portal, they are automatically compatible with the Wii U GamePad and the new Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL by just tapping them onto the console which is another cool feature. Amiibo’s are also quite detailed and when not in use, they make the perfect addition to your bookcase or desk. Currently (March 2015) over 5.7 million amiibo’s have been sold that include characters such as Mario, Bowser, Megaman, Princess Peach and Zelda to name a few. So what’s a amiibo? It’s basically an action figure that can interact with a video game that is of a similar premise to Disney’s Toy Story or Activision’s Syklanders. The Bowser Party Mode on the other hand allows for five players with one player controlling the dragon and lastly, amiibo mode basically uses real-world figures to determine the Mario Party experience. Mario Party allows up to 4-players as they engage in this virtual boardgame which is very similar to Mario Party 9. The person who collects the most stars basically wins.įor gameplay modes, there are three modes that include Mario Party, Bowser Party and amiibo Party. In essence, Mario Party 10 is basically a fun and interactive version of those classic boardgames of yesteryear but with the Nintendo flare! So like a real board game, you need to roll the dice and then let your character move through the various squares that they land on while playing mini-games along the way. ![]() Sure, we’ve seen this all before but Nintendo have added a slick coat of HD graphics and up to five players as they embark on some truly wild and crazy gaming which really brings your family and friends together. Available on the Nintendo Wii U as either the game itself or in a limited Mario Party 10 + Super Mario amiibo Bundle (reviewed), those lovable characters from the Nintendo Universe have returned as it offers gamers a whole collection of new mini-games for that true party experience. ![]()
