Topic: Super Mario Party Jamboree

@OctolingKing13 I noticed that too! I really hope we get a new trailer soon, I want to know more about the characters and game modes!

@PikminMarioKirby

The front page feature is constantly rotating every couple seconds between Jamboree, Zelda, World Championship and a generic advertisement for popular Switch games so I wouldn't necessarily read much into that.

@FishyS Well it’s listed first (on the US website), so when you go on the website it’s the first thing you see (ahead of echoes of wisdom). I don’t necessarily think that this means we’re getting a trailer soon, but it is interesting seeing this first above echoes of wisdom since Mario Party still has about two months until release and echoes of wisdom comes out next month. This probably doesn’t mean much for the advertising campaign (unless there’s a slight marketing push before the next echoes of wisdom trailer), but either way I think we are getting a trailer pretty soon.

@PikminMarioKirby On the Japanese website it is Zelda, then Switch sports, then Emio.

The UK site doesn't rotate in the same way but it is Emio, then World Championship, then Zelda, then Jamboree.

I'm not convinced they didn't just tell the local website designers what games they wanted on the homepage and then let them display them in whatever way they thought looked attractive. 😆

Yeah, I'll have to agree with @FishyS, it probably doesn't mean that much. If anything, I think it's kind of odd that it's the first thing that's shown because Zelda is coming out a month earlier than Mario Party. It's probably too soon for an overview trailer as well, I think that would be uploaded sometime in September. I could be wrong on that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

@MarioVillager92 Instead of just an order link, half the front page will probably be covered in some in-depth Zelda article when we get closer to release. Right now they are probably hoping people stay on the homepage for more than 4 seconds and see all the advertisements equally. Though whoever designed that wheel may have underestimated how quickly people click off..I would have made it spin faster personally.

I think it'll come down to when the next Direct is. If they're waiting until after Splatoon 3 Grand Fest to do the Direct then I could see a Jamboree trailer next week acting similar to last week's Echoes of Wisdom trailer but if they're pulling a 2019 where the Direct is only a few weeks away I think they'd save the next Jamboree news for the Direct.

@Grumblevolcano Yeah I think there’s enough time before the Direct, although it does depend on whether the Direct is earlier in the month or closer to the middle.

Yeah I do hope they give this game a big push (which I'm sure they will,) because it seems to have such great online potential and it would be great to have decently sized playerbase to support it.

Very excited to see what sort of shenanigans the Koopathlon mode will bring but I can imagine it getting very competitive that's for sure!

@Nintoz I can see myself playing the Koopathlon mode quite a bit. Coinathlon mode in Star Rush was pretty fun and it was my favorite part of that game, so I'm happy it's pretty much making a comeback.

https://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-party-jamboree-rev... Hardly a surprise at this point, but I think this truly cements Pauline as this era's Rosalina

Lots and lots of cool new info about the new modes and minigames!
The new partner system looks interesting, I'm much more optimistic about it than I was for the way Super Mario Party did it.

But guys...

There's a Waluigi Pinball Minigame!!
Cannot get the link to the image to work but it's on the website on the minigame page. Scroll right down to the bottom and it's the minigame furthest to the bottom right

@PikaPhantom Yeah Pauline definitely has been a very important Mario character on Switch. She’s now playable in Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, and Mario Strikers, as well as being a main character in Mario Odyssey.

@Nintoz I can’t tell how the partner system works from what I’ve seen, I’m very interested to see more!

THAT MINI GAME LOOKS SO GOOD! Hopefully the mini-game uses the Waluigi Pinball Mario Kart music (or more likely a remix or it)

I have one question.
Will the mini games button based or motion play based ?

@Anti-Matter There are some motion based games and some button based. As we now know some minigames will be returning from older games, I would expect there more button ones overall

Motion control mini games can be turned off completely iirc

@Nintoz
Well, it will be good news if the motion play can be changed into button based gameplay.

Looking at footage of the boards…
Is Boo gone?
I haven’t been able to find him on any of them.
It would be a shame if they got rid of the one mechanic that balances out some of the luck-based shenanigans you can pull off.

@JakedaArbok Yeah Boo's probably gone...as a mechanic at least, cause you can still play as him.
Same goes for the Koopa Banks

Yeah, I don’t remember too much from Super but I’m pretty sure they had Lakitu replace Boo in that game… don’t see him either.
My biggest gripe in Super was the lack of negative interactions that could happen on a board, leading to everybody just roaming around to get to the star.
I hope whatever events happen on the boards are a little more damaging to take the place of that.
I need to check the footage again, but is Chance Time gone too?

@JakedaArbok Chance Time is back!
I know what you mean about the lack of negative interactions, hopefully that should have improved a little this time as we have red, unlucky and bowser spaces.
