Mario Party Classics is a game for the Nintendo Switch. It is (currently) the latest installment in the Mario Party series, the twelfth home console installment in the series, and is distinct for being the series' first ever port/remake.Following the release of Super Mario Party in 2018, Nintendo decided to remaster the original Nintendo 64 trilogy of Mario Party games (Mario Party 1-3) in HD graphics with brand new features, more characters, and quality-of-life improvements, in order to rediscover the lasting appeal of the franchise for many fans. The game was developed by Nd Cube and some returning staff members of the original games, and released worldwide on December 18, 2021, on the 23rd anniversary of the original Mario Party's release date in Japan.
==Gameplay==
True to its name, Mario Party Classics is a compilation of Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 on the Nintendo 64, and is split between the original release versions and HD remasterings. On the main menu, the player can choose between two options of play: Classic Mode, accurate ports of the original trilogy, or Modern Mode, newly-enhanced variants that have additional characters and other features. In addition to the exclusive aspects, both game styles are known for being very customizable; right from the start, the player can choose a wide array of options to adjust to their liking from the total dice roll to the cost of Stars and items, and many more other game aspects. Within the Settings menu (which can be viewed both outside and within the game, the player can also set the game rules to default for a more traditional experience.
