I wonder where Mario Party 9 is?

It's been over two years since the release of Mario Party 8. The series sells like hot cakes, so I wonder why Nintendo hasn't announced Mario Party 9 yet? The series has further potential on Wii. It could utilize the Wii Motion Plus, and maybe even feature on-line play?

What do you think? :D

What more could they possibly do on Mario Party?

I'd only be interested in another one if it wasn't effectively the same thing as the other preceding eight of them.

I would like to see one Mario Party each generation.

Yeah I'd like to see Mario Party 9 as well. I was actually hoping they would've announced it at E3 this year.

Online play is something it needs, it'd be stupid for Nintendo not to include wi-fi and really there's no reason for them not to anymore. It'd be so much more fun to be able to play with 3 other friends over wi-fi rather than have to play by yourself with 3 cpu's all the time. Unless you have at least 1-3 people you can play with, it's really not as much fun and does get boring after a while. They could even incorporate some kind of online ranking system to see who has the most stars and coins overall or something, and be able to post your records for mini-games online to see whose the best of the best. And if you don't have friends registered I'm sure they could find a way to have random games with people, so you'd join 3 other random people and play together.

I think they should also make a board editor, so you can design your own game boards to play on. Let's not forget about Wii Speak either, Mario Party 6 and 7 came with a Microphone. There's no reason why Mario Party 9 can't have voice support. Being able to talk to people while you're playing would be awesome. Maybe not during mini-games but during each players turns on the boards. And they could include even more mini-games, instead of always having around 70 why not make it an even 100?

These are things I think Mario Party 9 needs. Here's hoping it comes out next year if not this year.

I aren't bothered Mario Party is dull.

Lol, they ran out of ideas I guess :P

MAYBE THIS IS THE SECRET GAME RETRO HAS BEEN WORKING ON

:D

Since this has been the biggest amount of time we have ever had without a Mario Party title I assume they are either making big changes or the series has reached its end.

Nintendo made the mistkae of thinking Mario Party should be spammed on the GC. Ya they sold well, but they did not help library gaps and di not push hardware.

I agree with you completely.

First off, hot cakes are gross. Cold cakes are awesome.

Mario Party 8 was great, but way too glitchy.

What more could they possibly do on Mario Party?

GabuEx

A lot. They hardly used the Wiimote at all. It was lame.

They can do so much with the controls besides "point and shoot", "waggle constantly", etc.

How about Balance Board support? WiiM+? I can see a great game if they do it right.

They need to add something amazing to the series like online play because I think it has all gone down hill since mario party 6.

I agree. I wouldn't mind another Mario Party, but if they do revive it again, it has to have major changes.

they do make it count- mario party 9 is number 9 , would be any way lol

I was just thinking about that the other day. They need a new Mario Party to redeem them from the lackluster Mario Party 8.

Mario Party got uninteresting ever since DK wasn't playable!
