Title: Mario Party 9?
Post by: jmdblazer on April 07, 2008, 04:23:06 PM
Mario Party 9 is sure to come.
So I thought why wait until they announce the game to discuss it?

so this thread is all about the inevitable mario party 9 and our hopes for how the game will turn out
Like what new characters should be in, how about this for a course, or,"ooh i have the greatest idea for a minigame"

So here are some of my ideas

new characters: diddy kong, kamek or Roselina (galaxy)

new course idea: delfino plaza

There are way too many Mario Party games already.  Counting Advance and DS, there are, probably 10 Mario Parties.  They should just let it rest for a while.

I'm still wondering why people want to include Rosalina in everything now. I think she should probably be in a few more adventures until that happens,
Title: Re: Mario Party 9?
Post by: Nintendoobsessed on April 07, 2008, 05:55:57 PM
I'm pretty sure Rosalina is a one-time deal. She's too cool/hot/epic to be in a sappy Mario Party.

Im pretty sure she's going to be in Mario Kart Wii since they said someone from Galaxy would be in it. So if she can make it into kart, then why not party

Rosalina for Super Smash Bros 4!

Honestly, it's probably just because she was actually a pretty cool character with a decent backstory and the ability to grow large without a Super Mushroom that appeals to people. She also has a pretty decent chance of being a returning character since 1) she was in a main adventure game and 2) there aren't that many female playable characters to begin with, and it doesn't seem like they're going to start importing more characters from Donkey Kong or Wario games.

Though honestly, since Diddy Kong has been in most Mario cameo titles since Toadstool Tour and Double Dash, why hasn't he been playable in Mario Party yet?

Okay! Time for our last five turns event! Let's see the current standings...

In first place: Mario!
"Oh yeh!"

In second place: Peach!
"All right."

Third place: Wario!
"Wagh!"

And in fourth place, Rosalina!
"Oh. I'm losing."

If MP9 has online play then you'd probably expect people to drop out a lot in party mode

Minigame mode however would be excellent for online play.
Though how exactly would it work?

Except Wart.

And Tatanga (game-wise).

If they were to make a ninth Mario Party game, I hope it'd be the last one. We could probably make a story to justify it as the last Mario Party. Something like;

While Mario and friends were hosting their ninth (technically eleventh) party ever, Bowser prepares his troops for an assualt on the Mushroom Kingdom. He suceeds, since the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom are too busy partying to really care. The toads cry out for a savior, but their cries go unheard amongst the chit chat of Mario's Party. When the characters emerge from the castle, they see the kingdom in ruins. Many Toads were mutated in the atomic bill carpet bombings, but no one really cares since they were already mutated fungi to begin with. Mario, seeing the damage caused, realizes that every person has their own duty in this world and his duty places him on the battlefield, not the gameboard. Thus, he vows never to party again and purchases many warbonds to help the war effort, and realizes the human essence of destiny.

Of course, knowing Nintendo, they would make Mario Party prequels so they can continue to pump out Mario Party games.

BTW, this is sarcasm.
Title: Re: Mario Party 9?
Post by: BP on April 07, 2008, 10:59:09 PM
It'd be acceptable to keep making them if they didn't keep coming at the rate they do. Mario Kart comes one per console. Heck, Mario PLATFORMERS and RPGs come one per console. Parties came three or four. And for a while it was okay, because there were real, genuine improvements that made the new one worth playing. But if they weren't made as quickly as McDonald's burgers and each one was made to BE the one of the console, utilizing the system's features to their extent, think of how much better they'd be. We'd still be at Mario Party 3 with the Millennium Star hosting Wi-Fi.

But I don't know if Wi-Fi would motivate me to buy the next one. I have lag, and I doubt anyone here would rather play Mario Party 9 than Brawl or Mario Kart anyway. I sure wouldn't.
Title: Re: Mario Party 9?
Post by: goodie on April 08, 2008, 06:07:50 AM
Mario Party isn't exactly a fast paced game, so I doubt lag would affect it that much.

Lady Bow and Bootler (two PM characters) made an apperance in TTYD, but otherwise, you're right.  Kammy also played a minor role, and I think Parakarry may have made a very brief appearance at the beginning.

Geno cameoed in Superstar Saga, Smithy has no justification to appear again (he had never been in the Mushroom World before his arrival in SMRPG, and he died at the end), PM and TTYD characters had Catch Cards in SPM, and Dimentio, Pixls, etc. haven't been around long enough to expect another appearance yet (not to mention that they'll probably have some mention in Paper Mario 4). The only real one-shot characters are Count Cannoli and Mallow.

I wonder if Nintendo/Hudson will do for Mario Party 10.... I'm sure it will be some kind of celebration for having 10 of them like putting in all kinds of diffrent boards and Mini games from past Mario Party's and stuff. (but Mario Party DS was technically the 10th one and it had that puzzle thing that had all the puzzle Mini games from past Mario Party games.)

Wart didn't die though, and technically he was in a main Mario game as opposed to an RPG or something, so he could count. Besides, those Shy Guys and Birdos and junk have to come from somewhere...
Title: Re: Mario Party 9?
Post by: Ultima Shadow on April 12, 2008, 03:58:37 PM
I have a theory that since Yoshi's Island took place first chronologically- and therefore prior to SMB2USA- Mario could have subconsciously remembered the Shy Guys, and only seen them in his nightmares until they started appearing in his normal life again. But then again, that's just a theory, and holds absolutely no water in the overall scheme of things. :]

(But anyway... would that sort of thing be possible?)
Title: Re: Mario Party 9?

Haven't seen Mouser in a coon's age.

I don't want to see Mario Party 9 ever come, but when it does come... um, it'd be great if at the least it had all the minigames from Mario Parties 1 and 2 (when deciding whether to use a minigame from 1 or the remake from 2, always go with the one from 1). In a perfect world, Mario Party X would be Mario Party 1 Director's Cut (at least 100 minigames for the love of Pete) with no thumb-killing-rotate-control-stick minigames. That's the definition of a perfect Mario Party game.

Kahahaha-- don't forget? This is Mario Party, not Smash Brothers Party. I sincerely wish they wouldn't put the infant and adult selves together, either, no matter how funny Baby Mario and Baby Luigi were in Double Dash.

I do agree that they should put a little more effort into Mario Party. If they shared the sentiment Sakurai had for Smash Brothers, which was for every sequel to made as if it were the last, then the newer ones would be really worth buying.

Title: mario party 9 and 10, what they should do...
Post by: 1056kirby on August 02, 2008, 08:03:17 PM
now this is just my opinion but, they should make mario party 9 just like the other mario partys and have it relaesed sometime next year, but then, with mario party 10 they make it with all the minigames revised so they get rid of the analog stick injury thing so you can't injure yourself and they should release it on there 10th annaversary! perfect!
Title: Re: mario party 9 and 10, what they should do...
Post by: penguinwizard on August 02, 2008, 08:42:37 PM
Didn't we have a thread like this? I thought the common answer was "Easy: Don't release another Mario Party." Has Mario Party really become the Madden of party games? It'd make about as much sense to see Mario Party 2009 (or, sorry, 2010 since it's always a year ahead of the year that it's released... that always confused me) as the next title.

The only Mario Party game I'd seriously consider is one that includes EVERY minigame from the previous entries, with or without the upgraded-graphics duplicates (Bumper Balls is just as good on MP1 as MP2. Mario Bandstand only really caught my interest in MP1). If WarioWare can have 200+ microgames, then it's high time that Mario Party had 200+ minigames. Or even cut out the board together and just have minigame after minigame flying at you.

I forgot, out of the first four Mario Parties that I've played, the one with the best boards, best presentations, best screens, (some of) the best music... would have to be the first one. Whatever happened to seeing characters on top of towers of coins at the end of each minigame?

But I could do without every single minigame that requires rotating the control stick as fast as you can. Mario Party 2 had that, when winding up the Shy Guy toys. For shame, I thought it was supposed to turn away from that. I don't care if that means I don't get to see the cool scenery of the Paddle Battle minigame, I don't want it. Tug-o'-War is the worst minigame anyone could ever come up with. And yet didn't that appear in the sequel too?

Post by: Silver Metaknight on August 02, 2008, 09:06:59 PM
I agree with Penguinwizard, but I could do without those button mashing mini-games. 

There should be more than 6 boards per Party, they should have retro boards along with some new boards.  They should also have a board editor.  Another thing that must come back are the costumes from Mario Party 2, they were one of the many things that made MP2 so memorable. I also hate the items in recent Mario Parties, they used too be unique and helpful without being too powerful, now, they are way too common, overpowered, and just not as cool.  I think the mini-game island should return also, along with betting duels instead of the wheel duels.

I'm pretty sure it will come out between 6 months and a year.  I think they should make a underwater board.  They swim across the spaces and feed the big fish at the end of the board a certain amount of coins (or whatever, fish food maybe) and then he will pull a star out of his mouth!  I think that would be cool.

They SHOULD make a Mario Party9! Infact, They should atleast go up to a Mario Party15!........ I'd like that.

In Mario Party 9, I hope they don't go and go and put wild characters like Petey Piranha, Goomba, Koopa, Chain Chomp, and that huge block. Those kind of characters!  (Don't put)
They should put Diddy Kong in the family. They should even add Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby DK, Baby Wario, and they should make new Princesses. Or even characters like how Wario and Mario and Waluigi and Luigi are. Opposites of Daisy and Peach. I so wish they'd do that.

The series does show signs of stagnation, but, and this may sound strange coming from me, I've bought every console Mario Party since 4 and though I haven't played most of them in a while, I can really see myself going back and enjoying them... with family or friends (but most likely the former), that is!

They SHOULD make a Mario Party9! Infact, They should atleast go up to a Mario Party15!........ I'd like that.

In Mario Party 9, I hope they don't go and go and put wild characters like Petey Piranha, Goomba, Koopa, Chain Chomp, and that huge block. Those kind of characters!  (Don't put)

I don't think more characters is what the Mario Party series needs right now.

Well, that's pretty much all it's got going for it at this point. Then again, the Wii Balance Board and Wii MotionPlus should allow them to throw in some new junk...

I forgot, out of the first four Mario Parties that I've played, the one with the best boards, best presentations, best screens, (some of) the best music... would have to be the first one. Whatever happened to seeing characters on top of towers of coins at the end of each minigame?

But I could do without every single minigame that requires rotating the control stick as fast as you can. Mario Party 2 had that, when winding up the Shy Guy toys. For shame, I thought it was supposed to turn away from that. I don't care if that means I don't get to see the cool scenery of the Paddle Battle minigame, I don't want it. Tug-o'-War is the worst minigame anyone could ever come up with. And yet didn't that appear in the sequel too?

MP2 did do away with the rotation games. Instead, you destroy buttons on your controller by pressing them as fast as you can. These button mashers have been abundaunt in nearly every MP game since MP2.

actually, you press A and B at the same time in that minigame, not rotate the controler stick, I recently bought the game so I would know...

Weren't they stopped being called "Bloobers" after SMB?

And I like "Blooper" better than "Bloober".

Blooper, as a type of enemy, is a good name. But Bloober as a single Blooper characer is a good name too.

Bloober the Blooper sounds like a Paper Mario character.

The Mario Party franchise needs to slow down. They need to take more time and put thought into improving and innovating the series. Honestly, it's just been the same old stuff since it started. Unless the next game has Wifi, I'm not going near it.

that's not true, the graphic advances, the new charecters, the microphone functionality, and don't forget the wii remote functionality, those were all new things.

Graphics hardly changed at all. The new characters are usually lame. The mic has been in since the fifth or sixth.

I have nothing on the Wii remote.

The new characters could be worse (Baby Daisy, Baby Donkey Kong.)  And I think the mic been in the 6th and 7th Mario Party.  I would really like it if Nintendo gets rid of those miserable button-mashing games.  I also would like those presents from MP4 to return, but make them interactive also.  Wifi would be a very welcome addition and they could make mini-games that make use of the Wii Crossbow, Wii Wheel, or something Wii related.

As if there would be a Wii game without motion control at any point whatsoever. Despite what Nintendo would have you believe, using the prime function of a controller/console does not grant you a "Get Out of Using Any Other Creative Ideas Free" card. By that logic, which I don't fault you for but feel an urge to address, the use of the X and Y buttons in MP4-8 should be seen as a remarkable innovation in the series.

Dang! Forgot Brawl... but VC games are internet-purchased older games not made directly for the Wii.

I guess my point, as it has been and will always be (though I don't express it a lot for obvious reasons), is that "new" controls is no substitute for creativity within the actual game.

Brawl has optional motion controls if you use the nunchuck.

It did before you asked that. Sort of like the episode of Goof Troop where Goofy told Max he couldn't have a pet, but Max went out and got a pet dragon anyway, but Goofy was planning to tell him he could have a pet anyway, but it was still a dragon, so he couldn't keep it.

Graphic changes and new characters don't innovate the gameplay whatsoever, Wii remote functionality doesn't either as it's just them moving from one controller to the next. It's like saying that use of the gamecube controllers was an innovation. I'll give you the microphone thing, but it was barely used and when it was, half the time it couldn't understand my words.

And collecting little nic nacs that do absolutely nothing is not innovative enough to keep me hooked.

I agree with most of that. The only word (or words) the mic understood me to say was Toad and Toadette.. everything else, it had to ask me Did you say Luigi?.. Yes, no?

Also, I hate to jump all over a spelling error, but I think the word is Knick-Knacks. I could be wrong..
