Mario Party-e – e-Reader
NerdBacon cofounder The Cubist reviews Mario Party-e, which using the e-Reader, cards, and a play mat, simulates an actual board game.
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 4 – GameCube

Bomberman 64 – N64
Ohhhhh man Mr. Bomberman… This game was the shiz back in the early ’90s! It had some great multiplayer action! It didn’t stop with the SNES release though! Bomberman 64 is very different in look, style, gameplay, and single player. But what remains the same is the multiplayer madness and chaos of the “BATTLE” mode! Except this time… it’s in 3D! WHOA! Mindbottling.
Super Mario Strikers – GameCube
NerdBacon cofounder Nerdberry tackles the umpteenth Mario sports title, Super Mario Strikers. Mario’s got hops, but does he have soccer skills?
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.
Mario Party 2 – N64
Nerd Bacon co-founder, The Cubist, reviews a semi-rare title for the N64, Mario Party 2. Does it live up to the hype of the original? Read on to find out!
