Hurray for an early Christmas in America!!

Wahoo!

Lame. Good that it's coming out, as there are a number of people that looking forward to it. (for some reason)

Hope other VC games are coming out besides Mario Party. Can care less about the game.

YAY

YES! I knew it will be released on the 20th! I can't wait!! Now if only I could get a wii points card, It would be great! Thank you once again Nintendo!

I think Mario Party 2 is the best of the 8. They started getting repetative from 3 onwards.

Seems weird that they're releasing the second one before the first one.

Woohoo...

Meh, I hope we get another Virtual Console game next week in addition to this.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what Nintendo should be doing!...

Releasing THEIR games!

OK now its official. WOOOOT!!!!

Not downloading Xmas Eve, where is Yoshi's Island instead (Super Mario World 2)? Hope the EU get another big and better release for the VC on the 24th.

Definately be getting. need a fun family multiplayer game for the wii.

YES! FINALLY! But why the heck didn't they realease Mario Party 1 first?

Eh, I'm waiting on 3, my favorite out of all of them.

Awesome... for those that can take advantage of the Virtual Console, that is...

@shinesprit I think they're skipping the first one because of that one game that caused blisters.

Yay! It's almost here! Don't be a Scrooge, Mr. Fox.

Is this game still fun for someone playing alone? I don't have alot of people who'd be coming over to play it. I would like to try it out though but don't want it to be a waste.

It could be me, but isnt this just like releasing a previous Madden game and saying Merry Christmas??

@20.Link79
Good point is it any good playing this flying solo?

Are any of the Mario Party games good for solo play? IMO, that's a big fat NO.

Finally, instant-buy for me!!

I said on a forum, this would be out in christmas time, just like Super Mario Kart

Nice. I remember having lots of fun when I played Mario Party 2 with my cousins several years ago.

It's one of the better Mario Party games, IMO, but I already own an original cartridge.

Dear Americans, I'm very happy for you Us Europeans, we shall wait four days later Good game!

Looks like we'll all be having a little (Mario) Party on Christmas Day then!
_{Well, those of us who actually LIKE Mario Party, that is...}
Look, MarioPartyFan! Everybody has a Mario Party game on WiiViiCii at last!

Yes! But why not 1 first? Hmmm...

instant buy

i love it when good games come out

It's cool that this game is out on VC, but they should have 1 and 3 available as well, especially 3 since I never owned that one.

@Cheezy - the first game had some mini games that would give you blisters apparently. I don't remember ever getting blisters from playing the first game, although that's probably because I haven't played the first game in forever.

auto download

@Blaketoberfest - it's not coming.

Whoot! Party time! Fix the control stick mechanics and bring out the first one while you're at it!

Great, I should be getting some Nintendo Points for Christmas, so I'll probably buy this.

I wonder if this game is really as good as I remember.....hope so.

Woohoo.

ima get with cristmas money

@7 there are 10 Mario Parties.

@42 I think hes talking about the "console" Mario Party's not including e-reader, game boy advance and DS.

I seriously can live without Mario Party I have every single of them (yep there are 10) only for collection propouses, but is nice all of those who want it are going to get it.

WARNING: DO NOT get it for playing SOLO under any circumstances!!!

@TC why not. I generally play all mario parties by myself _suddup and sure they so much more fun with your friends, but they can be fun singleplayer wise aswell.

Already have the cartridge so I'll pass. Hopefully they'll release Super Bonk next week or the week after.

What's this? NoA announcing a VC game before the day of release?

I'm not too sure they'd want to release TOO many Mario Parties on VC because they might fear it'd over saturate with similar titles (not that this fact stops everyone...). It seems to me Hudson cares about that, though, seeing as they STILL haven't released the majority of the Bomberman games yet either (I want Super Bomberman 2, dang it!)...and they're heavily involved in this series, yes? I suspect they decided that 2 was the most desired choice and went with it as a result. Which is fine with me, 'cause it's my favorite.

Nintendo listen to me. ORIGINAL STAR FOX ON SNES. NOW

Fantastic news, can't wait to play this with my sister.

I'm glad everyone can enjoy this game for Christmas. I hope they don't stop there though because I would really love to see 1 and 3 on VC. 3 especially because its my favourite out of the whole series

Yes!!! =) I grew up with this game and their finally putting it for the Nintendo Wii .. I wonder if their gonna put Mario Party 1 and 3? And they should be releasing more games for the Nintendo 64 then the other consoles

@Aviator: From what I recall, it is only competitive mini-games. I was an only child and had no one to play with, so this game sucked big time.

Going to download Mario Party 2! Yeah!

Awesome! I already have the cartridge, but I'll get this too. My N64 is working very well anymore.

@y2josh But still, I keep playing this game when I'm on my lonesome.

I loved that game, played it at my friends house. I guess I know what ill get when i get my points card this christmas This or Toribash

Do I have to wait till next Christmas for Yoshi's Island?

I stopped caring so much about VC releases after i got SSB and SMK. So if Clayfighter 63 and 1/3 no matter the version comes out or we get other games i least expected but wanted like the original Batman or something like that then all i will be doing is getting games that i held on until after the 2 major games i wanted released. So far i have the other Mega Man titles and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1. So next well who knows.

About time.

It's my favorite in the entire series.

Mario Party 3 is the best game. It also introduces WaLuigi

Meh, I've played all the Mario Parties with my friends the first go around, so I'm good. The biggest VC game I'm looking forward to is still Faxanadu and 1942 (and hopefully '43 will come). Other than that, if the big N would let Nnooo drop their myDiary on America I can sleep in peace.

I wonder if we will get a game in the last week of the year.

I can't wait to play this on Christmas Eve! Such a fitting game for the party season

I remember playing this w/ my friend at his house. Fun times.

I wonder if the 3rd game will ever be added. I'm sure the 1st never will due to the blisters & stuff it caused from people rotating the control stick w/ the palm of their hands (I still have the Nintendo Power issues that have the warnings & even the phone number to call for special gloves).

This is swell!

What's this, Mario Party 2? But I want Lufia and the Fortress of Doom to be release on Dec. 20th, not MP2. I already got Mario Party 8 for all the party craze ppl already.

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best tool to celebrate Christmas, MP2 is.

Sweet! Awesome, & a 1/2!

If I don't come back to Nlife until New Year, Merry Christmas Everybody! Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.

& of course, cold weather potentially makes for a cooler temperature consol, & thus, longer play/game time.

I thought the reason for the season was winter solstice and that Jesus was actually born around March time.
