In the original 'Mario Party,' certain mini games required players to rotate the control stick. The problem is that it led to players developing blisters on their palms and, eventually lawsuits that forced Nintendo to settle a complaint brought forth by the New York Attorney General's office.
Despite that history, those games are back in 'Mario Party Superstars,' unchanged, with Nintendo merely offering a warning message urging players not to rotate with their palms. This is an absolutely horrible decision, not just for the potential damage to players' palms, but because it can also accelerate how quickly Joy-Con drift occurs.
'Mario Party Superstars' does enough right to convince me the franchise - which has introduced mechanics and concepts reviled by fans in recent versions of Mario Party games - is once again headed in the right direction.
'Mario Party Superstars' oozes with nostalgic charm, featuring remixes of the old music from each map, mini game victory screens and more. The main hub is a carbon copy of the first 'Mario Party's' world. You're sure to get tingles when first entering the central pipe to start up a game.
