9) Mario Party (series)
Played with: friends from middle school, friends now



I haven't played each of them enough to pick a single favorite. The picture above is the very first image that came up on a google search for an N64 version, I cannot even remember which version I played the most as a kid. I do know that this game is fun enough that I downloaded it on my Switch to play a few times this year with friends and even bought another JoyCon to support 4 players. But my primary memories enjoying this game are definitely from N64/GCN days. The more random the game outcomes and the better trash talk, the more fun. Absolutely love it when people are shouting and enjoying themselves going through the game. Even as an adult nowadays that does not game as much as I used to, every time I have played Mario Party on Switch (all 4 times) has been a blast. But I think playing it on N64 was more fun. I can still remember the pain in my palm playing some of those quick-press button games or joystick rotation games. What's your all-time favorite Mario Party map to play on? Do you have a specific character you always try to use?



Actually, I wasn't planning on asking this, but what are your thoughts on the Switch's characters? I've found that the custom dice can actually create an advantage and it's a little unfortunate that you need to pick your character with this knowledge in mind. I mean, you don't have to, but some are just plain better. I haven't looked them all up to know which is the best or worst, but I know I pick Koopa Troopa sometimes and he has a lot of 6s on his die.
