Nintendo sent Game Informer a mock certificate lampooning them for poor reviews of Mario Party, and Mario Party 2
Super Mario Party on Switch is... fun! Which is a lot of praise considering we're the outlet that once received this framed certificate from Nintendo for our very negative reviews of Mario Party and Mario Party 2 back in 2000. https://t.co/s2A2oNuWXF pic.twitter.com/rgbaHwmpN4

Well this is an absolutely wonderful piece of Game Informer/Nintendo history. Back in the day, Game Informer gave some very poor reviews to the original Mario Party, as well as the follow-up. Looks like Nintendo was paying very close attention to those reviews, as they sent Game Informer this mock 'award' for their coverage.
