Mario Party: The Top 100 - 3DS/2DS

For years now the Mario Party games have been bringing gamers together around home consoles, getting players to party like it was 1999 because the games were actually coming out as far back as 1999! Now, Nintendo has scoured the archives going right back the when the party started on the Nintendo 64 to bring the very finest the catalogue has to offer to the 3DS.

The name might have tipped you off to the fact that this is the top 100 of the mini-games that have graced our televisions over the years. Favourites like "Bumper Balls," "Tug o War," and "Slot Car Derby" are all present and accounted for, offering up the chance to play against friends with Download Play.

It's a perfect jumping on point for new players, showing off the best that the series has to offer in one neat handheld package.

Longtime fans will definitely get a welcome trip down memory lane too, though, and will notice that most of the older games have had a tune up and been tightened up for the 3DS. They're more balanced and the controls are tighter, and some games really benefit from the touch screen, as in the case of "Face Lift" where players no longer have to rely on directional controls.

This compilation will have you partying like it's 1999 all over again! more
