I think Nintendo needs to go back and redo the whole Mario Party franchise.

I don't know about "new", looks more like old mario party with Mii's thrown into the mix instead :? I think this is what the last Mario Party should have been in the first place.

mario party needs to be done with wiimotion plus. That way, itll be better and itll put more wiimotionplusses out there for other games to take advantage of because it WILL sell well.

It also has to go back to its roots. In the first or second mario party, each map actually had a theme and each character would be dressed up in costume according to that theme. When sequels dont even look like an improvement in terms of production to its prequels, its time to rethink some priorities with the games. The producing company has to put more thought into the minigames. no more shake the soda can, swing the controller at the right time. They have to be real mini games, not just tech demoes passed off as minigames.

eeeh. i don't think i will be rushing to the store to get this when it comes out. i looked at the trailer and the mini-games look way too simplistic. even for mario party style games. it might be fun. but right now i don't know what to think about it

I say make Nintendo Party instead of Wii Party or Mario Party. It would be like smash bros except mini games. The boards could be themed after areas from zelda, metroid, mario, etc etc.

Nope, it's the new game-that-shouldn't-exist.

It might be. And it may as well be. If it's of a similar quality as Mario Party, then Mario Party isn't needed. I don't see the need to stick Mario on everything. If Miis work, then use miis. I'd rather use my Mii than a Mario character anyway.

It might not be so bad if the Mii's had more customization options. Moustache or no moustache? As it stands right now, its a joke.

I'm sure there's going to be a Mario Party reboot on the next Nintendo console.

I agree. I loved the older ones. They were simpler, but more involved at the same time if you know what I mean...More thought was put into them. The minigames from the first one were amazing! Toadstool quickdraw was the best! If they make awesome games and boards like they did in the early Mario Parties and use some of the new technology they have now (sensors, Wii motion Plus) they could make an awesome game! I also liked the items better in the old ones. Maybe an amusement park theme and they could wear clown or bright outfits, an underwater/beach with scuba gear, a space one with space suits...and stuff like that.

Probable for the rest of this gen, but I think they are still going to make another.
