Is anyone else getting tired of all of the Mario Party games Nintendo keeps on making? Mostly every single game is the exact samething, but with different mini games. What do you think?:question:

I can't say they're boring, because I haven't played all of them, but I agree that there are too many of them. Come on! "Mario Party 8"? That's a bit much don't you think?

I never played #8, but I can agree that the formula is wearing thin. It's not really the game's fault, though. I like Nintendo, but you'd have to blame them for releasing a Mario Party about every year since its release. It would be nicer if it was a bit like Mario Kart, where Nintendo would only make one version of it on a platform, then make another version of it for the next.

My kids love Mario Party, and while I do enjoy playing with them I don't have the same interest level as with other games.

So you haven't played the game but call it boring

Yes, wonderful insight

Hurry now tell me how exciting the next 5 Superbowls will be.

I would reserve judgement. The Wiimote can and probably will change the game.

Ah, you beat me to it. Let it be, the same can be said for all the racing, football, soccer, etc. etc. games. They are all basically the same games, with updated names, graphics and what not. Let us people that enjoy the Mario Party games have fun with them. I know I like them and is the only game my girlfriend has been waiting for quite a while now.

If you have friends to play against, you'll understand why the series is 8 games old.

I gave up on buying the series at Mario Party 2 on the N64. I played on MP3 and 4 but never bought them.

I don't know. Nintendo Power the same Nintendo Power that is the most Nintendo fanboy magazine gave a 7.5/10 to the game. I think the game is on a downhill.

I have played most of the Mario Party games for the Gamecube. They are really boring but on the Wii it will probably be better because there is actually action from the movements of the remote and nungchuk.

I don't know. Nintendo Power the same Nintendo Power that is the most Nintendo fanboy magazine gave a 7.5/10 to the game. I think the game is on a downhill.

What's with the NP hate? They're not THAT fanboyish and have good information. They only gave TP a 9.5, as opposed to what should have been a 10 from a Nintendo-biased magazine, and the recent Wario game (not Warioware... the Master of Disguise thing or something) a 6.5 of 7.5 and didn't have too much good to say about it.

It got an 8.3 from gametrailers. That to me is good. And 8 games isnt a lot considering there are 12 FF;s and one currently in the works.

Mario Party games are usually pretty fun if you got 3 other people (preferably friends or family) to play with.

Saying every Mario Party is the same with different minigames is like saying every video game is the same with different gameplay.

Yes, it will be dull.  Just like all the other Mario Party games.

Mario Party 8 will be as much of a jump as Tiger Woods Golf is on the wii vs the 360 version.  The controls make the game feel completely different.

Its not that there is too many, its that they hardly add anything new to them, except for the new mini-games. Like cmon, I wanna see a ton of boards, more characters, a better story mode, etc.

I loved the first 3, but I haven't played one since then. I kinda want to see how #8 will turn out, with the motion control and all.

I played MP4 and I own MP5 for GC and I love playing the game with 4 people because the minigames get crazy and we put stuff in the line for whoever wins and it seems MP8 is going to be awesome for me because of the motion controls.

Most people who hate the series are loners... Seriously, if you have most the Mario Parties and always have someone to play with, saying you hate Mario Party is forbidden.

The reason pokemon is annoying is because they keep making new pokemon characters for each game. how many are there now, like 500?!?

to me, if i want fun multi player action.  i always prefer mariokart, shashbrothers, strikers, or toadstool tour.  i'm sure i'm forgetting some.  but i just don't like playing games like marioparty over and over again like i do the other games.

and it sounds like this one isn't even going to be that good.

that's after only two reviews.  i do hope i'm wrong.  if the game developers did their job.  this game should be better then all the others.  but it's still too early to tell.

ITS A COMPILATION OF MINI GAMES!!!!! of course its gonna lose its appeal after the 8th game in the series. but if the other games are any indication of this one i imagine it to be a fun party game.
