Nintendo e-Reader
Late in 2002 (2001 in Japan), Nintendo would release an interesting add-on for the Game Boy Advance (GBA) known as the e-Reader. At first glance, the term “e-Reader” may evoke thoughts of Kindles, Nooks, and other such electronic reading devices, but back then the “reader” part of the name referred to the device’s ability to read codes printed on cards.

Mario Party Advance – GBA
Mario Party Advance is a truly unique entry in the Mario Party series. So unique in fact, that it’s difficult to discuss it in comparison with its brethren. In lieu of relying on the strong multiplayer component of console releases, Mario Party Advance takes an entirely different approach to moving around a game board and playing mini-games.

Mario Party 3 – N64
If you’ve read my reviews on the original game and its sequel, you know that the steep drop in enjoyability left me less than enthusiastic about revisiting Mario Party 3 for a closer look. If you haven’t read them, I’d suggest doing so as I’m reviewing all 11 titles for comparison and contrast. As it turns out, I like this game just a little bit more than Mario Party 2, but for the most part I think it simply tones down the annoyances of the previous game without adding anything substantially unique or amounting to much more than an expansion pack. In fact one of the major additions, Game Guy, proved so unpopular that it would never be seen again.
