[N-Direct] Mario Party: The Top 100 brings the best of Mario Party to the 3DS

With the focus on multiplayer, and especially local multiplayer, the Nintendo Switch looks like the perfect console for a Mario Party game. And yet, the next one is coming to… the Nintendo 3DS. Introducing Mario Party: The Top 100, which is (as the name implies) a collection of the 100 best mini-games from the Mario Party series… though we don’t know which criteria Nintendo used to choose the games.

We don’t have the complete list of mini-games, but here’s a few that have already been revealed:

• Shy Guy Says (from Mario Party)
• Slot Car Derby (from Mario Party 2)
• Eatsa Pizza (from Mario Party 3)
• GOOOOOOOAL!! (from Mario Party 4)
• Shy Guy Showdown (from Mario Party 5)
• Snow Whirled (from Mario Party 6)
• Balloon Busters (from Mario Party 7)
• At the Chomp Wash (from Mario Party 8)
• Logger Heads (from Mario Party 9)
• Jewel Drop (from Mario Party 10)

Mario Party: The Top 100 will be playable in local multiplayer, and will be compatible with Download Play (most likely via a free “app” available from the Nintendo eShop).

Here’s a trailer and the segment from the Nintendo Direct presentation (in Japanese, though…):
