Super Mario

Fans of LEGO's Super Mario line will be happy to know that new character packs based on the franchise will be released later this summer. In total, there will be 10 character packs, including a Bullet Bill, a Boo, a 1-Up Mushroom, and more. For longtime Mario fans, these character packs should prove to be exciting additions to the overall collection! The new character packs are slated to release on August 1st, which also happens to be the same day that LEGO will be releasing the Super Mario Adventures with Luigi Starter Course, but the packs will be compatible with both of Nintendo's mustachioed plumbers.

Not a lot of people appreciated Super Mario Party, complaining about the lack of game modes, variety, and content. Well, Nintendo’s heard your feedback.

One of the most wonderful elements of Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker titles, which give players the chance to build their own platformers, is that they provide a glimpse at how Nintendo thinks about game design. You get to see how every element matters, from the exact length of platforms, to the precise angle of Mario’s jump. It’s like going to a painting lesson with Picasso.

The latest Famitsu scores are in and it’s very positive news for Mario Golf: Super Rush.

During the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct we got a bunch of announcements for new Nintendo Switch games. Among them was Mario Party Superstars, which is already available for preorder. It's not a wholly new Mario Party — it's kind of like a combination between a collection and a remake since it features boards and minigames from previous Mario Party entries. Still confused? Let's dive in.

When Nintendo announced that the Switch version of Smash Bros. would be called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it wasn't kidding about the title; every single character that has ever appeared in any previous Smash Bros. game is available on the Nintendo Switch incarnation. Crikey.

Golf was the first sport we ever got to see Mario experience, so it always makes sense that he and his slew of friends go back and get to play again with brand new skills under their belt. Mario Golf: Super Rush is the latest in the long-running series with a charming amount of modes players will be able to sink their perfect hits into with the right club in hand. A variety of characters and ways to play with friends no matter where they are up the ante to make this one of the most creative Mario golf titles to date.

During its E3 Direct, Nintendo announced new entries in the Mario Party and WarioWare series, both coming to the Switch. Mario Party Superstars will be a collection of classic Mario Party boards from the Nintendo 64, featuring (hopefully only the most infuriating) mini-games from both the N64 and GameCube eras. According to Nintendo, the mini-games can be played through online multiplayer and are compatible with regular controllers (unlike the recent Super Mario Party, which didn’t allow for the use of a Pro Controller or Switch Lite unless you had external Joy-Cons.) It will release on October 29th, 2021, for $59.99.
