The end of an Era, certainly.

The release of Mario Party is the doom that is:
"The death of Nintendo 64".

That's right, no more Nintendo 64 games.

Over the years Nintendo 64 owner's where treated to many quality AAA Title's that will be forever amongst the gaming great's. Or atleast, 'the best' among the gaming greats.

Over the last 5 Years, we have seen jaw dropping game's that changed the industry forever.
4 'best known' title's such as:

Super Mario 64, which so far has never been bettered, despite the many, many attempts in copying it's style.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Being 'Officialy' in many gaming press, The greatest game of all time and certainly one that lived up to the hype that came with it.

Goldeneye: Probably, the greatest FPS that has ever graced home consoles. Even the pending PS2/Gamecube title 'Agent under fire', tries to mimick it as best it can.

Perfect Dark: The official follow-up to Goldeneye, but yet in many peoples eyes, it couldn't better it.

Yet that was only four games.
There where many more and many that people have still sitting proudly amongst their collection.

And what really is sad about this is- There are many people out there who have never played the Nintendo 64 and therefore missed out on all these delights.
My word of advice for those who haven't, go out and get a console! they are relatively cheap! and just look at all those wonderful games in the N64 Library that is sure to keep you happy.
Special Reserve have a healthy N64 game collection, so get on out there and scoop up these game's before it's too late.
You'll not be dissapointed. Bury your pride that held you back.

The same review was saying that Mario party 2 was better...

Somthin about...although they have put more games into MP3, they lack the same depth of MP2.

That's only because it's practically the same as the other Mario Partys.

I'm gettin it, there's nothing like a drunk session on Mario Party.

You are joking right?

Powerpuff Girls and DR Mario are getting UK releases?

Why the hell couldn't they give us Sin and Punishment and Spiderman?

I never saw release dates for those.
Mario Party 3 would probably be the last '80% rating + game'.
Dr.Mario, I remember playing that on Super Nintendo, I'm sure it was out on NES and Gameboy as-well.
