My brand-new retrospective on Mario Party Island Tour is now available for your viewing pleasure! I hit quite a few speed bumps with this one, especially in the scripting, but overall, I am very happy with how the final video turned out. My goal with this piece was to avoid creating yet another “Island Tour is bad, please laugh” video. Instead, I wanted to explore why the game turned out the way it did, what inspired the changes made in this new entry, and what decisions made those changes fall flat, at least in my eyes. I really hope that you enjoy!
