    I find this kind of baffling, honestly. Like I’ll follow this one to see how reviews turn out, but superstars was by all accounts what people had been asking for. So they released it and… that’s it, no updates for more characters and maps, not even as paid DLC. Why didn’t they do more development on it?

      That’s what they do with these games, they just pump them out. Each generation, or at least for the N64 & GameCube eras previously.

      As someone who bought “Super Mario Party” I feel you. We got at best 1/2 of a game and then nothing. I’m not sure I can be convinced to buy a Mario Party game again.

      Looks like “super” ahead of Mario party will be their tell that the mini games will need joycons. I just hope I don’t have to high five 10,000 times a game like the last SMP

        Yeah I see they have joycons games but I’m really hopeful they either work with the pro, or get excluded when a pro is in use. Games like the tilt and shake should work with the pro…

        I’m cautious because I have 4 pro controllers and 2 surviving joycons, it was pretty annoying when the first one couldn’t be played at all. I have no intention of buying more defective joycons.

          I feel the same way. Joycons have burned me too many times. I know I can buy stick conversions kits but at a certain point I become bitter and just buy cheap third party pro controllers.

          Yeah, I don’t understand giving the Pro Controllers all the same features minus the IR sensor, and then not being able to use them

      On the Nintendo page for it, it says the motion controlled games require a joycon, but those games are disabled for online play. Maybe there will be an option to disable them for local play too?
