Mario fans, here is something for you today. An unofficial native PC version of Mario Party 4 has just been released. This is the first alpha release for this project. In other words, it will have lots and lots of bugs and issues. So, make sure to keep that in mind.
With that being said, I’m certain that some Mario fans will be intrigued to play it. If you are one of them, you can download it from here.
As always, this unofficial native PC port of Mario Party 4 does not contain any game assets. So, to play it, you’ll have to own and use the US version. Right now, the Rev 0 (USA) and Rev 1 (USA) ROM files are compatible with it.
Since this project does not have any game assets, it will be safe from Nintendo’s wrath. In other words, Nintendo won’t be able to shut it down.
Mario Party 4 came out on Nintendo GameCube in 2002. As its Wikipedia page reads, it is a puzzle and party video game based on an interactive board game played by four characters from the Mario franchise. The game features eight playable characters in total. These are Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, and Waluigi.
In Mario Party 4, players roll a dice and walk on squares that either add or subtract players’ coins or randomly trigger one of the 50 minigames. The goal of the game is to collect the most coins and stars. Stars can be acquired when a player reaches a square with a star on it, or by either winning the most minigames, most coins, or landing on the most “Happening Spaces” squares.
In case you are into projects like these, you can also download the unofficial PC port of Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing, Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, Jak & Daxter, and Sonic Unleashed.
Have fun!
