It better have online play, it better. Or something that, aside from the Wiimote, would make it worth purchasing. The latest were alright - but they don't have enough boards/variety to last.

I can't see any other plausible reason for it. Although it could be quite a lonely experience playing party game with others across the world...

Maybe we'll hear of the WiiCamera, so we can videochat whilst playing. That'd more than make up for the delay Smilie

Oh, disaster. This game was so top of my most wanted list. I mean, what could be more entertaining than playing imagination-free minigames all day in between trudging round poorly animated boards?


Screwing the rules since 1989.

I loved the first Mario Party, then 4 was pretty poor, quite liked 5 and didn't experience any others except those 3. I know they've tried to push it forward with things like the microphone, and maybe implementing the Wiimote can make the minigames fun - because the board games aren't THAT bad. Wouldn't mind seeing this with online play at all.

id better have online Smilie if they are gonna delay it!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

I never thought of it that way, Mario Party, online? Sounds like a heap of fun to me. I always liked the Mario Party style minigames, but not many of my friends did, so this looks more than rentable to me.

I would have respect for it if it's online. Heck, I'd even buy it. Offline though, it's crap.

Only if you don't know anyone who'd play it, other wise the multiplayer, online or off, would be fine. Sadly, I can only hope for online.

Gives me a lot more time to save up to buy two more Wii controllers so I'm not fussed. Been playing Mario Party 5 on the GC to death recently, oh so very much fun and I'm getting rather good at it again Smilie

I have to agree, online pl0x.

I'm actually looking forward to this game, seeing how it will utilize the Wiimote for its mini games.

Sounds like a Mario Party game that may actually be worthwile getting, although I probably won't. MP3 was the only one I could really get into.

If it's online i will buy it, but if it's not you might as well buy one of the Mario Party's 1,2 or 3 on the Virtual Console for


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."
