Mario Party 2 is excellent.

Is there any fun to be had emulating any of these by yourself or would that just be weird

MP1-3 all have 1-player modes, though they're short and easily breezed through
If you want, you can play MP2 in Dolphin netplay with a Wii virtual console ISO to play online (friends or randoms); the other N64 games require a specific build of Project64 and port-forwarding for netplay

I don’t think I’ve ever played a Mario Party game solo. It totally defeats the purpose. I can understand playing Mario Golf or Mario Kart alone. Playing MP alone, though, that’s rock bottom depression.

Might be able to soon. My friend who is the big "gamer" is finally getting a PC soon.

Yea, grew up playing for hours a day with kids in the neighborhood multiplayer games, and later on even party games like kung fu chaos and fuzion frenzy but I never cared or had fun playing with randoms. MP was always the one Mario franchise I didn't care about playing for obvious reasons but I still want to see what it's like.

1 is still the best. 2 introduced too much RNG bullshit and the new minigames are really subpar.

M80, play video games and have fun.

Don't be obtuse-a-loose, we are talking about a literal party game made for many people. It's almost like playing monopoly alone, or so it seems, which is why I asked.

I fucking love Mario Party, but my friends never play it with me. I’ve gotten too good at mini games and strategy and they always lose. It sucks :(

Mario Party 2 is universally known as the BEST Mario Party, but make no mistake, there isn't a good Mario Party.

>> No.7346989

MP1 is the best

I played Mario Party by myself all the time. I only got to do multiplayer on weekends due to me functionally being an only child.

Makes you better at minigames, too.

My friends and I always played smash, but I got too good at that, so we tried to move towards other games like Mario Party, but I am crushing them at that too. I worry they might stop playing any video games that I own with me. Will be stuck playing Kirby Air Ride because I suck at that.

For pure chaos, yes.
For any semblance of actual skill factoring into the result, no.
So it all depends on what you're into Mario Party for.
For me, it's like poker or blackjack. I enjoy the factor of randomness, but I want to have some amount of control over the outcome. So that the better player will ultimately win the most games.
That said, I can appreciate that some people prefer MP1's raw, uncut bullshit.

Guess I could try it out myself and see if it's got fun stuff I could try to get some friends to play
