I will definately be picking up this game. I have a group of friends and everytime we get together we spend hours and hours playing Mario Party ^^ And it looks like the Wiimote just made it even more fun.
There are so many must have Wii titles for me... I don't knw why, but it seems just about every Wii game that is announced is added to my list... lol.
Oh, and forgive me if this has been posted already. I haven't seen it mentioned much here, and it deserves it's own threat anyway^^

The previous MPs were great and all, but they rapidly became more of the same.
Add the Wiimote into the equation and it has potential to be something completely fresh.

I'm an Internet Addict so Mario Party doesn't really help me.

Well the hand damage has been pretty much a non-issue in the GC versions (and I think Mario Party 3 as well).

Forget the hand damage that game did, MP 1 pwned controllers. Seriously 3 of my N64 controllers are trashed to the point of not being able to be used because of that game. I swore off Mario Party since then, but #8 is looking pretty sweet with the Wiimote and all. I'll wait on reviews but it looks like a probable purchase.

You guys really should try out 6 or 7 for GC, they are great games and don't have of those stupid "turn your analog stick around as fast you can" mini games.
Post by: IceCold on November 05, 2006, 06:09:04 PM
Also, VG is right; 6 and 7 are solid entries. The Windmill map in 7 is one of the best ones in the series - I love that map.

Ah, so true. I have so many fond memories of getting together with friends (out of town friends so I do not see them often) and playing the Windmill map.
Any news of Mario Party 8 being a Wifi title?
Post by: Magik on November 06, 2006, 01:47:47 AM
.Hopefully they don't get all cash-hungry like they did with the GC and start pumping out Mario Party title year after year.

I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you. If MP 8 was meant to be online they would've announced it alongside Pokemon battle revolution. Then again, they truly might have delayed it to add online play at the last minute.
In any case, I hope the delay was so they could fine tune the game, add some new mini games, modes and even extended Mii channel support.
I wonder if this is why the moved up the release of Super Paper Mario up to April. They knew that MP 8 was an anticipated release, so delaying it left a blank spot that they needed to fill, and Paper Mario was it.

Just like when we look at Smash bros. and say, "This would be great online". The same is true for Mario Party 8. When you look at reason's games are delayed, it's not to add some more mini games or something small. We all know in order to blow the competition out of the water,
Wi-Fi on Wii must come out throwing some punches, and to do that you need the most Grade "A" games on day one that has online. It would stir up support for the system and encourage 3rd party online games.
With a popular game like Mario Party, there is no reason why you would want to make the mistake of not making it an online game

shut that mouth of yours, Metroid doesn't need and has never needed online, Retro hasn't say anything about it, right? they just said they were going to focus on the single player, and had a different use for the wiiconnect24, but no multiplayer, don't tell me they now said theres going to be multiplayer...
Mario Party online on the other hand... I don't know, the mini-games are so simple that they can only be really enjoyed with real people in the same room, or maybe is just me.

I never said that the MP games aren't meant to be online games. What I am saying is to not expect an online MP game NOW. I actually expected MP 9 to be the first game to experiment with online play, but I will be surprised if the first MP game for the Wii also turns out to be the first online MP game.
I'm just trying to be realistic here rather than trying to let my fanboy hopes and dreams get the best of me as this delay can be anything from the mini games needing more fine tuning, the developers wishing to add a few more modes or online play.

I'm not really a Mario Party fan (I rarely get the opportunity to play with groups) so maybe bigger fans would enjoy an online feature.
Post by: Pittbboi on January 24, 2007, 01:53:31 AM
They SHOULD have an online mode, but I think the set-up should be a lot more streamlined than what they currently have in Mario Party.

By myself or online? I'd kill myself).

QFT.
Mario Party would be sorta boring considering regular games can take 40 minutes or more.

But having said all this I'd like to point out that one of the main problems with the series as of late hasn't had anything to do with play control or mini-games. It's been about depth and the board map in general. They've just been less epic over the last few games and it sucks. Mario Party 2 and 3 blow the newer games out of the water in this regard. I'd like to see more attention paid to the environment of the game this time. Although I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. Nothing Nintendo has shown me lately on the presentation end of things, great as they might be as games (Wii Sports) is bending my mind these days. What I'm hoping for would go against the controversial Nintendo philosophy of "great, small games" that make Nintendo a fortune by saving them huge bank in the development arena.

I was being sarcastic, but you know some rabid fanboy would use Mario Party as a franchise Nintendo is forgetting.
Thinking about this I expected Mario Party 9 to be announced next year, with the confirmation that it will use motionplus. Or, it could be announced sometime in the fall, to be released next year.

Like I already explained, I was being sarcastic. I am well aware that the Mario Party series is one of those series fans want to see disappear for a bit. But with the constant paranoia of Nintendo abandoning its own franchises it would be funny to see fans say "where's the next Mario Party game OMG NINTENDO SUCKS!!!".

And it's probably the worse one too.

Mario Kart 64 was basically showoffing the new console hardware. "LOOK HOW LOOOONG WE CAN MAKE THESE TRACKS!!"
The only thing that was even remotely interesting was the Battle Mode and even only two levels were decent.
