Nintendo set to bring the classic multiplayer Mario Party 3 to Switch Online later this week

The latest addition to the Switch Online game library is on its way in the form of Mario Party 3. Members of Nintendo’s online service will be able to “punch, pound, and stampede right over” their opponents starting later this week. Today’s announcement comes on the heels of new Switch Online titles like the Metroidvania-style Kirby & The Amazing Mirror alongside previously Japan-only classics and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, but Nintendo has now turned its attention to one of its vintage family party games with the third-entry in Mario’s multiplayer experience. Head below for more details. 

Mario Party 3 comes to Nintendo Switch Online

Mario Party 3 originally launched back late 200 in Japan followed by a May release here in North America the year later. It was the third and final game in the series for Nintendo 64 before Nintendo reinvigorated the series with Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars on Nintendo Switch. And now Switch Online Expansions Pack members with accessories to the N64 library can relive the 2001 release starting on October 27, 2023. 

Party all night long in Mario Party 3! Punch, pound, and stampede right over your opponents in a multiplayer melee or go head-to-head in two-player duel mode!

Mario Party 3 is coming to #NintendoSwitch for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members on 10/27! #N64
