Nintendo Life has reviewed LEGO Party! Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, a new four-player virtual board-game title developed by SMG Studio. The game is described as an unabashed clone of Mario Party, borrowing its structure, turn-based board format and minigame-driven gameplay loop, yet the review finds it holds up well against its clear inspiration rather than feeling like a cheap imitation, offering enough original flourishes to stand on its own within the genre.

The review highlights the Challenge Zone mode's four distinct game boards, each dynamic and visually varied, with mechanics evolving as a match progresses, such as the Space Zone shifting from Stud-collecting teleportation to combat against an alien threat. Minigames span activities from dirt-bike racing to ninja-star throwing, with many featuring multiple rounds to sustain engagement, though the reviewer notes the absence of a 1v3 minigame format (leaving only free-for-all and 2v2) and criticises a lack of impactful audio-visual feedback for key moments like winning games or collecting Golden Bricks.
