I'm dipping back into this thread to say that I got the Mario Party Superstars as well, as a few of you peeps have mentioned it.
Amazon told me to cancel my order beforehand, and if I ordered it again, they would chuck in a couple of freebies at no extra cost - a coffee mug and some drinks coasters. In the end, the game and mug arrived on launch day (which was a Friday) and then the coasters arrived 2 days later on the Sunday.
Just had our copy of Mario Party Superstars ship from simplygames, really looking forward to it! Used to love the N64 games, this is full of them! And online too
I played MP2 and MP3 pretty extensively on the N64 back in the early 2000s. My favourite board was "Space Land", so I loved that Superstars included that, now in HD graphics. They took Horror Land as well, plus a board from MP3 and 2 boards from MP1 which I'm not familiar with because I have never played MP1. Superstars uses the same game engine as Super Mario Party (the other party game for the Switch), so it's great to play all of those old mini-games but inside of the new/current engine, and again with the brushed up graphics. Plus, it keeps some of the newer characters like Rosalina, while at the same time you can still play the older MP2/3 characters like Donkey Kong.
Bought Mario Party Superstars today, had £10 worth of gold coins which took some of the sting out of the eShop purchase.
3 of us played tonight on the Haunted board, seriously a lot of fun and very competitive. None of us have played any previous Party Superstars before, so the game naturally was a lot slower than it should have been. 20 turns on that board should take an hour, but we finished pushing 2 hours. We enjoyed every minute of it!
I'm quite experienced with MP2/3, and I agree with you - 20 turns is more like 2 hours gameplay than the 1 hour stated in Superstars. In Super Mario Party (the 2018 Switch game), 10 turns is approx. 1 hour and 20 turns is approx. 2 hours. So I think the 20 turns = 1 hour in Superstars is a misprint!
