I agree....:(

I don't care at all that this game isn't going to be online. I play these games with my wife, kids and family, not random people I don't know. Those games generally aren't fun, because the people who play online are only looking to win and better their "RANK" on some leaderboard. Games like Mario Party are meant simply to have fun, not show how good you are at a "VIDEO GAME". smileyryder34

Let me pre-empt my statement by saying I believe everyone has a right to their opinion about what they want in a game or want out of a game and how they want to play it....

That said, I believe with you completely. ALOT of onliners like to play that way to get easy wins to better their rank, and if they're not playing well, then they d/c. It's the nature of the beast with online games whether most her do it or not. It does happen too much. T o play a board game like MP8 online, how boring to sit there like a slave, staring at the screen and waiting and waiting for the other person to make a move or do whatever.

I woudl rather play it at home with friends and family.

But thats just my opinion.

April 29th is a Sunday and May 29th is a Tuesday so I am thinking it more likely will be in May.

I can't wait for it.

And I'm sure Mario Party 9 and onward will have online capabilities, but I agree with the people that say MPs are meant for you and your friends and family.
