It’s-a-here! A week early?! That wasn’t in Nintendo’s plans. The new Mario Party game, Mario Party Superstars, has been leaked online one week before its official release date. Yikes.
Mario Party Superstars is set to be released on Oct 29, but this leak has seen it be actively shared online via social media sites. This includes images being shown from previously announced content in the game. This ain’t the first time Nintendo have had this mishap either. In addition to this, Metroid was also leaked a week before its official release date. It’s almost like they do it on purpose. If not then someone really needs to be sacked in those Nintendo offices.
Obviously, this has rattled Nintendo quite a bit. As it should do to be fair. The company is notoriously heavy on piracy against its software. In August this year, Nintendo successfully obtained a permanent injunction against a ROM website it had defeated in a £2 million pound lawsuit after its owner was planning to relaunch the site. Don’t mess with Nintendo, clearly.
What this will mean for the games official release remains to be seen. We’re sure Nintendo will get their revenge, but until then be sure to check out the trailer for the game below:
Mario Madness Returns Once More
Whilst we won’t be pirating the game, we do know some details about the upcoming title in the long-running franchise. Mario Party Superstars is set to include over 100 mini-games which are taken from the ten previous main games in the series. Nostalgia is going to be ramped up by 100 percent for this one we reckon.
Nintendo says all mini-games are played with button controls and all game modes will work with online play, which supports up to four players. Online Mario Party? That’s things we just love to see really, ain’t it?
Not only this, but there will also be five boards which we’ve seen before too! I know it sounds like they’re rehashing some old products here, but we personally cannot wait to see our favourite boards given the HD treatment. Peach’s Birthday Cake and the Space Land board will never have looked better!
“Whether you are saving up coins for stars in board game mode or practising in free play, there is nothing quite like being the last one standing in Mushroom Mix-Up or Shy Guy Says,” reads the product description on the Nintendo eShop.
“Matches with friends in board game mode save each turn, so feel free to take a break and pick up where you left off. Use stickers to praise or pester fellow players as you race across the board collecting stars.”
What a time to be a Mario fan.
