Nintendo has announced a brand new update for Super Mario Party is available now, adding online play, allowing anyone to play a game together with up to three others. Nibel initially picked up the news on Twitter, who posted an image with Japanese text explaining that the online update would add 70 minigames and an online 2 vs 2 mode. Shortly after, Nintendo chimed in with its official announcement.
Multiplayer functionality allows four individual players across four consoles to play together online. However, it’s also possible for two players to be hosted on a single Nintendo Switch, as long as each player has a compatible controller. All accounts playing the game also require a Nintendo Online subscription to play Super Mario Party with others using the new feature.
In addition to the online multiplayer functionality, the update adds “80 all-new minigames” for players to try out across all of the base game’s modes. You can try them with friends and family at home or search for a multiplayer match online and enjoy them with other players looking for a more challenging game.
