But...wasn't SMB2 a dream, or something? And I'm really tired of all these posts saying "I think Nintendo should make a game, and it'd have Mario, and the bosses would be Mario bosses, and the levels would be Mario levels".

No, it happened in Subcon, the land of dreams, which they found through a door in a cave.

Please, no more Mario Parties, and no more games where Mario is obviously out of place and/or suddenly becomes "educational".

Seriously, someone should make a Mario text-adventure.

I'm sorry, but I don't recognize the word "on"
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Nah, they ought to make a Mario Party Anniversary Collection. All seven in one Wii disc.

The games themselves aren't so bad, only their rapid fire rate that's aggravating is all.

I'd prefer a collection of the mini-games in the first three Mario Parties, as those were the best. The boards and everything else could be brand new. Maybe they could ditch the dice and orb system in favor of something a little less luck-based. Then they could have 8-player Wi-Fi capabilities and call it Mario Party DS. That would be the party to end all parties.

...Have you ever played an actual real board game?

Well, Sonic Shuffle used a card system.

Does anyone remember that?.................................no, I guess not.

I sure do, and while Sonic Shuffle itself blew chunks, I think a card system could work easily for a DS Mario Party.

Yes, but Mario Party isn't a real board game.

Chance based board games are incredibly boring if made wrong (I know of a game which in its entirety involves pulling a card and moving the number of spaces indicated. You have no choice whatsoever in the events of the game.)

I'd go for ditching the orb system, but the dice are fine, despite my little rant there. (Why don't they just bring the items back?)

Sounds similar to Candy Land.. Was it made during that era?

Could it be SORRY? I think SORRY is better played with hand of seven cards, as opposed to just drawing one card.

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #74 on:** May 01, 2007, 11:54:11 AM »

Candy Land would be a correct answer. SORRY! is not because you get to make quite a few move choices.
