Mario Party Superstars

Before discussing the game, I need to talk about being sent the wrong version. I live in the USA, but was sent the European version. This was purchased as a Christmas gift and we didn’t notice until afterwards. You’ll notice on the front cover there is no ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) rating, but rather the PEGI (Pan European Games Information) rating logo. One of my included pictures is an screenshot from this very item as listed on Amazon CLEARLY showing an ESRB rating, although, this is a family friendly game and that rating can NOT possibly be correct. Also, the side is distinguishable by the centered title and green arrow in the corner. The game cartridge is labeled European with the EUR at the end instead of USA. To my knowledge, the game itself is no different. That may not seem like a big deal at first glance. The problem is updates or DLC’s become available, we may run into region issues, rendering the game unusable. I might expect an oversight like this from some small seller, but this is the official Nintendo link. A company of that magnitude can not and should not be making errors like this. For that, and that reason only, I am deducting 2 stars. The game is wonderful. It’s fun for all ages. I love how you can play with multiple people, so it’s like family game night, but connected through the Switch and TV. The colors are vibrant and it runs smooth. There are plenty of levels, so it will be fun for a long while. I would have rated it 5 stars, but Ian oversees version is unforgivable.
