i have hope it will and the 3rd my favorite

I really hope Mario Party 3 comes out for virtual console. Some say its coming out in 2012 but idk where they are getting that from but anyway i really hope it does comes out!

I still think Mario Party 1 can come to VC.

Just looked on the Wikipedia....it states that "Nintendo has announced that Mario Party 3 will be released in either late 2011, or early 2012." IDK where the they are finding that at but IT'S FINALLY COMING OUT! LOL

Its Wikipedia. You can never take them seriously.

You must not work for Nintendo's legal department.

Yeah true....but hopefully they will have something that will give out proof that it will come out....I'm banking on it! I'm going to keep checking daily and see if it's really is true....

I will say this though Mario Party 3 has a better chance of seeing a VC release than the first one.

Yeah I agree with you a 100%! And u was right....wikipedia did put anything out there because now it's not out there no more sighs I mean so people say it's coming out in 2012 but I don't have any idea where they are getting that from....do u have any suggestion or guess of when u think Mario party 3 will come out for VC?

Oh wait it's back on....it's like back and forth....wow they are so confusing I'm just gonna wait till they get it right.....

It's not on Wikipedia any more because I removed it. SImply put, unless something on Wikipedia is reliably sourced, it isn't reliable. Nintendo has never mentioned any plans to put Mario Party 3 on the Wii Virtual Console. Of course, that doesn't mean it won't happen - I'm almost certain it will eventually - but Nintendo has never publicly said anything about putting it on the service, so that shouldn't be on Wikipedia.

Nintendo hardly ever makes prior announcements about the Virtual Console other than the monthly list in Japan, so don't expect them to mention Mario Party 3 - or any VC game - specifically for whatever reason.

If we don't get it before Wii U launches, I think we'll get it within twelve months of that.

Thanks so much for telling us I was so confused lol...so up to twelve months is your guess????

@Tscotting11: Truthfully who knows except for the people at Nintendo. Sure there will be rumors and such but really I dont believe anything till the big N says it.

Lucky for me I have a N64 so if I really want to play it I can pick up a copy from somewhere.

So lucky I had the game and my n64 I enjoyed until it got messed up....sniffs I will never be able to live those wonderful memories of mario party 3 ever again.....shakes head

japan will get ti before us and their september list has been released and its not up there so......
i play that game still i got a n64

I remember when wikepedia said Mario Party 2 was going to be released in 2010 when it wasn't officially announced. I really think Mario Party 3 has a high chance of being our Christmas Virtual Console gift this year and/or the 400th VC game.

I think 3 has a chance, however due to the complaints about the rotating games, I doubt we'll see 1.

That's what I'm thinking too.

Mario Party 1 has a extremely low chance of getting released, but I really do think Mario Party 3 can be released.

I hope so about Mario Party 3! I'm still waiting!
