Though, as players dive into the board and load into the all-important minigames one question sticks in the mind of many: can players use their Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers in said minigames?
Yes, players can play Mario Party Superstars with a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. This was confirmed by Nintendo on the official Mario Party Superstars page: “All minigames are played with button controls, so you can stick to the Joy-Conâ„¢ controller or bust out the Nintendo Switchâ„¢ Pro Controller or a Nintendo Switch Lite system.”
For many Switch players, the ability to use a Pro Controller will make minigames significantly easier to play rather than simply using a Joy Con controller. While the Pro Controller doesn’t necessarily present an advantage, it provides a more comfortable feel for many and may leave those without one envious.
As players jump into the game, pro controller or not, they will have to figure out which character to play as. Be sure to check out if players can unlock new characters in Mario Party Superstars.
