Topic: Mario Party 10 - OT

Pretty much applies to Bowser too.

So Spike's in? That's cool...but what about Shyguy!?

Spike is a very obscure choice, but awesome that they gave him a playable role nonetheless. And I personally thought Blooper was great just because of how unexpected he was.

Wow! They should have used these for the Super Mario amiibo! I especially love the Peach and Rosalina art!

Retail price will be $50 and pre-load is available. File size is apparently 3049MB.

Peach is trying to copy Zelda's poses.

Why do people still get hyped for Mario Party games?

I'm not one of those nostalgia-mongers that thinks Mario Party games will never be as good as the N64 titles, but I just don't really think the series needs any more entries. We got an entry every year for 8 years. That milked the franchise dry if you ask me.

They're purely multiplayer games. They're also goofy and a playful version of Smash. Not having online is... bad but not a deal breaker for some.

I haven't owned a Mario Party since GameCube and I only played 8 for a few hours. I am excited cause I will have roommates soon and it has been a long time since I have played a Mario Party.

Not sure if people already talked about this but according to this http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/compatibility/

Mario Party can read all Amiibo while only some can write data.

Has it been announced if this game will have a story mode like Mario Party 9 had?

In what dimention you all live? Or is it just bad math? Or I could be not getting it, because from what I remember, there were 5 games in last 8 years?

Nothing about story mode for now, but they leave it probably for another direct. I'm actually interested in Amiibo Party - this sounds like they listened to the people, who wanted amiibos to be something more meaningful than smash thingies.

Online multiplayer is probably the only way I'm going to buy this. imagine starting a game and randomly getting picked to be bowser? might be cool.

Some board pictures from Nintendoeverything. The confusing thing to me is the resolution of the pictures (1536x864), which is something between 1080p and 720p.

mario party 10 looks horrible wow. its all inear, goes in a boring straight line.

original Nintendo64 mario party games were the BEST. we need HD remakes of those sold as physical copies for the Wii U with added online Multiplayer.

I loved Mario Party 7 but I didn't like Mario Party 9 much. Have you also played MP9 and are disappointed by its general design?

the more original the mario party game, the better it is. the newer the mario party, the worse and worse it gets. why are they doing this?

I have MP4, 7 and 9. MP4 was fun but MP7 was better, in my opinion. They both are fun because each character goes on its own and you get items but I hate how MP9 forces the players to travel together. It's so silly. Besides, there are no items, only dices. And what about the endless circles in MP9's Blooper Beach which is supposed to be a reward?? Once you are out of there you can always go back endlessly if you step on the reverse square. Mario Party 9 looks nice and it has some good mini games but the game design is terrible.

I can't believe MP10 is repeating MP9's patterns.

I slightly disagree with this as my top 3 are: 1) 5, 2) 4, 3) 2. After 5 though your statement is spot on, 9 was a complete abomination due to the linear path and "everyone in 1 car" mechanic. From what the above images show, Mario Party 10 is basically going the same approach as 9.

You don't need to be surprised to complain about a game.
