Topic: Mario Party 10 - OT

I think having Online for Mario Party kinda defeats the purpose of making Mario Party games. But that is just me and people will probably disagree with me and call me names

I agree. I'm not sure why so many people are complaining about no online in this game, of all games. This seems like the kind of game you'd play with family and friends in your own living room.

Having online defeats the purpose of mario part, wait WHAT~?! PLEASE explain to me how being able to play with your friends is defeating the purpose, its a party game, and its multiplayer, what multiplayer games should omit ONLINE in 2015. WAT ok rant done

@DiscoGentleman You apparently missed the last Nintendo Direct and the growing base of information about the game. Mind you, Mario Party isn't entirely a complex game. You have mini-games. You have boards. You have gameplay modes. The actual commercials and hype will likely start around about a week after Kirby's Rainbow Curse launches, but even then, how exactly do you hype Mario Party? "You've been salty! You've been extra salty! But now prefer for Bowser-sized proportions of salt as you and four friends can now play in a 1 vs. 4 board game mode in which you compete to see who can kill everyone the fastest! Or if that doesn't float your boat, you can always play more Mario Party 9 maps... no? Anyone? Well, I guess there's this other mode for fans of the classic gameplay." Yeah, that deflated fast.

@renaryuugufan92 Very simple. Mario Party isn't any fun if you can't flip off the guy that just stole two stars from everyone.

I agree as well. Maybe it would be nice playing with friends over the internet, but even with Skype it just wouldn't be the same. Global online would be even more pointless, since it would pretty much just be playing against computer that can rage quit and encounter connection errors. Mario Party is, and always will be a local multiplayer game.

Spike is still a bit odd to me. Wonder how he sounds...?
We also see King Boo and Blooper return as bosses here. DK's art makes me laugh, first thing I thought of was:
"Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry for my 12 years of playable absence. Heh..."

I wonder if there'll be a Spike amiibo. I'd buy it (maybe )
Also, the more info that is released, the more I want this game

I will probably play as Yoshi, Rosalina, and Toadette the most lol

Looks like we know what wave 2 amiibo will be!

Daisy
Wario
Waluigi
Donkey Kong
Rosalina
Toadette
Spike

I'm calling it now, spike will be the hardest to find one yet.

I wonder if there will be unlockable characters? Birdo, dry bones, and boo seem likely.

Hmmm you do have a point. But what other characters can they make for this series? Especially because the mario series seems like its even more aimed at kids than smash was. So after daisy, Wario, and waluigi, who else will we possibly see? Random enemies? Do you think kids are going to be like omg a birdo amiibo!

I don't see the Super Mario series Amiibo having that many waves as fast as Smash. Smash has lots of waves cause there are so many characters. But for future Super Mario "waves" they could always include new characters with some new figures of previously released characters

The way I see it, they're not gonna be in any rush to release wave after wave of new amiibos for the Super Mario series. They'll likely just add on to it when they need to. So yeah, I believe we're not too far from seeing DK, Toadette, Wario, Daisy, Waluigi, and Rosalina added to the series for use in Mario Party 10. And then they'll probably add on other characters/creatures later when there's a game that'll need amiibos of them, like Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Goomba, King Boo, Baby characters, Birdo, etc.

So like for example:

WAVE 1: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Toad
WAVE 2: Wario, Waluigi, Daisy, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, Toadette

and then that'll be it for a while
But then there's a new Mario game announced, like Mario Strikers, or Baseball, or whatever, and it supports amiibos but features Mario characters that don't have amiibos, like Koopalings for example.

So then they'll announce a Wave 3 featuring Koopaling amiibos, and other waves for other characters if there are any that need an amiibo for this new game.

Fire mario variant confirmed lol.

Nice find on that Japanese source Nintyman

At least it confirms the roster at a nice round 12 characters. I say 12 because I assume Bowser will only be playable in Bowser Party I assume and on amiibo party maybe. The standard mode will have 12 because of this.

Lol at Toadette being "New", yeah she's new to Nd Cube produced Mario Parties but not the series. Really hope she does get an amiibo release eventually aswell, she's in enough of the big release Wii U games to get one in my opinion. Her amiibo might become rare aswell I recon if she does get one.

There's no way she won't get one. She's too popular nowadays to not have one, but I'm sure she will be the most underproduced one. Personally I'm holding out for a captain toad version, but I won't hold my breath.

That's how I feel. How is online defeating the purpose? If it was done right and you could actually use a mic while you play it could be fun.

I would definitely make sure I get one if a Toadette amiibo happens, I know there are a lot of Toadette fans out there, whether they show it (like I do) or not!

Don't see voice chat being introduced in Nintendo games anytime soon, Nintendo will want to keep its family friendly atmosphere and as soon as you introduce voice chat, they can't control what is said in online games and keep the bad language out exactly.

Personally I like the fact that Nintendo online games aren't littered with young kids (and adults too) using all the swear words they know.

Yeah it sucks we still cant use the Gamepad and Wii U Pro Controller whatsoever in Wii mode

Right now the game is a "maybe" for me. It's mainly because I want people to play it with, and my sister isn't too fond of Nintendo, and my best friend isn't too keen on Mario Party.

3.5GB of free space is only if you're downloading the game I assume?

How did you get this info Nintyman? Did you look at that website and was able to translate it or something?!

This game is still a buy for me, as long as Toadette is definitely playable then this game WILL be better than MP9 for me.

Also it looks as if there are some 1 vs 3 games in this game despite the board pictures saying otherwise.

At the bottom of the page, there are 12 pictures of minigames in a slideshow. The 2nd picture (3 cannons shooting at Mario), 3rd picture (3 players kicking around and bullying Mario) and 8th picture (Everyone on drums, Mario in backrow, other 3 in front) surely must be 1 vs 3 games.
