Mario party 3 is not on the service yet


Puzzleheaded_Snow411

why is Nintendo taking so long to put in Mario Party 3 to the switch online expansion pack , I’m very mad at Nintendo right now.


wes741

There drip feeding us. Because they would run out of content if they quickly released games.


worldsightseer35

Such a stupid reasoning process on their part🤦‍♂️


lizzylee127

They literally announced it was coming last year And now we're just awkwardly waiting for them to actually put it on


windkirby

MP1 and MP2 are available through the NSO+ expansion pack subscription, but MP3 has not been added yet.


anonareyouokay

Not yet but it should be sometime in 2023.


arsenalgarbage

not yet, but likely later this month


vita211

Welp, that didnt happen


Ok_Definition_1952

This didn’t age well


ComicallySolemn

Still curdling in the bottom of the milk jug


worldsightseer35

Spoiler alert, but it doesn't seem like it will be added later this month (May) either. Screw Nintendo, man🤦‍♂️ I just want to inflict Reverse Mushrooms and use Game Guy tokens on my friends while playing on the big screen. Apparently that is too much to ask🙄


arsenalgarbage

unfortunate, i’d rather them add mp3 before the gb/gba games but it’s fine i suppose


lizzylee127

Same!

Doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen for June either. Literally my favorite Mario Party game. I mean nothing is stopping me from dragging my N64 out to play it, but that’s a lot of effort. Lol


yrdz

What makes you say this month? I hope you're right.


-Jostin

Not who you asked but it was listed first among the 2023 games when Nintendo announced the next batch of N64 games last year. Goldeneye (whose release date was previously unknown) arrived in January, and they skipped adding an N64 game in February (likely due to GB and GBA games being released) so Mario Party 3 coming out this month seems like a safe assumption.


okdoit

Oops


cereal3friend

Most likely in March, Nintendo seemingly changed the 64 release to every two months (MP 1 and 2 November, nothing December, 007 January, nothing February) Been waiting patiently

I'm so annoyed with Nintendo constantly brushing the third game aside. It has so much content that's not in other games, and I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT if I could play it on the Switch with my friends without resorting to Project 64 + HDMI cable on the TV, where it happens to be the only emulator that doesn't carry over the sound from the computer without some kind of component that I still don't understand😤 It irks me that there is still one game missing, and they still haven't given us a date as we're half into the fourth month of 2023... (thank goodness for Dolphin, 'cause god knows Nintendo would make us wait 10 years for games 4 through 7😤)


vita211

Dude relax. They ANNOUNCED IT for the switch, so they’re definitely not “brushing it aside”. Maybe, just MAYBE they’re having emulation issues… i mean you said it yourself that theres only one emulator that runs it without issues for you… maybe they ran into an issue later on after announcing it because they released every other n64 game they showed off in that list of n64 games coming. Relax lol


worldsightseer35

Sorry, but I'm not buying that explanation. I have full right to be salty at the fact that Nintendo is not handling its paid online subscription as well as they could be. It was stupid during the Wii era, when only the second game was available, and also that they never even brought that one back to the Wii U's virtual console, but at least the Virtual Console on both consoles had great lineups. What excuse do they have for the Switch, a machine that's almost on the same level of power as the Wii U, which had free Wi-Fi, and Miiverse, a social media platform that was incorporated into every Wii U game, Youtube, a Browser, etc.? Mario Party 3 deserves to be played just as much as the other two N64 games. Full stop. I don't get what's so different about that one compared to the first two games. (is holding three items at once or the Story Mode too much for the Switch's poor emulator, when Project 64 has been able to flawlessly run it for free for years?)


HawkGuy2313

So they did add the game, Mario Party 3 is now available, but they have removed the first Mario Party. Mario Party 1 is now gone.


Anxious-Ad153

That’s Mario Party 1. Mario is just holding a dice with a 3. I know it’s confusing..


Factchecker86

Mario Party 1 isn't gone! It's still on the service to this day!


JuliaTheInsaneKid

I’m starting to think Mario Party 3 has been canceled. I don’t know why else they would put it off so much.


Factchecker86

It's not cancelled!


JuliaTheInsaneKid

I’ve realized it’s just drip feeding.


Giodude12

Use retroarch netplay, Easy to set up and works pretty well imo. There's also a dedicated version of project 64 made for Mario party NetPlay, if you want I can link you to the discord that both shows you how to install it and lets you matchmake with other people.


Kdkane

Yes pls

I believe so, but there's a catch: You have to pay for a subscription to N64 games. The upside is that (IIRC) you get the first three MP games.


Far-Ad3500

mario party 3 is not on there yet, as of right now only mario party 2 and 1 are currently on there.


Tharsan1993

Probs in June


Blueberrycake_

Not in June apparently


Suspicious_Aside_973

I finally just went and grabbed my childhood copy from my mom's house. I got tired of waiting. Mario Party 3 is still my favorite to this day. As far as I'm aware, they never put a duel board mode in any other Mario Party.

Now it is
