Nintendo have announced a free update for Super Mario Party, adding online play to several game modes, and passwords for friends-only matches.
Despite launching in 2018, the recent update has now added online play to the Play Board Game mode. In addition, the free update brings 2 vs 2 Partner Party mode online, and jumping straight into your favorite mingames. Players can also set passwords for private invite-only games for friends.
