Episode 49: Mario Party Superstars

Eric, Nicky, and special guest Karen Cardinal mini-game it up with Mario Party Superstars and cover the dark controversy surrounding the series.  Mario Party is a series of party games in which up to four local players or computer controlled players compete in a board game interspersed with minigames.  Players collect coins in order to buy stars which are randomly scattered through each level.  The games were previously developed by Hudson Soft and are now being developed by NDcube.

Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you. We try to cover all types of video games including: Retro and New video games Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Sega, and PC games Any and all genres including RPG, Simulation, Beat em up, platforming, mystery, first person shooter, sandbox, puzzle, action adventure, etc.
