Nintendo originally confirmed that Mario Party 3 was coming to the service in September 2022, as part of a selection of games set to be joining the N64 library throughout 2022 and 2023. While the first two games joined the service soon after, Mario Party 3 is only now getting its turn. Like all N64 games, it will be part of the Expansion Pack. This optional subscription also allows access to Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis games.

Mario Party 3 originally released for the N64 in 2000 in Japan and 2001 worldwide. It was the final Mario Party game for the console and is most notable for introducing a Story Mode for solo players. It also introduced Daisy and Waluigi to the roster, who would go on to be playable in every following game. Like other Mario Party games, the objective is to collect more stars than your friends by moving around a tabletop board and playing minigames.

Mario Party 3 will be released for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on October 27, 2023.
