Switch Online: Mario Party 3 completes the Nintendo 64 party trilogy

Nintendo have announced that this week, the Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo 64 app will party once more when Mario Party 3 is added to the service.

Mario Party 3 is packed to the gills with new games you've never seen before, like Eatsa Pizza, where you try to be the first player to scarf down a pizza the size of a swimming pool. Another cool game called Dorrie Dip lets you ride on the back of the giant lake monster from Super Mario 64. Once you have a decent stash of Coins in your pocket, then you can purchase a Star when you land on the elusive Star space. The player with the most Stars at the end of the game is the winner - but it's not quite as simple as it sounds. Stars are constantly stolen and swapped from one player to the next, either by Boo's thievery, Toad's game of chance or Bowser's nasty tricks. To come out on top in Mario Party 3, you have to mix in a little luck with your gaming skills.

The game should go live around midday on October 27th, but the actual time is not confirmed.
