Having said that, it is absolutely polished. As Mario Party games go, this one is sufficient but decidedly bland. This game will generally have you using either traditional controls using the circle pad and a button, or you’ll be using the touchscreen, but there’s nothing really revolutionary going on here, no clever use of stereoscopic 3D, the gyroscope, or the camera.

It also doesn’t have much in the way of extra content - you get StreetPass support and different ways to play the included minigames, but that’s about it.
