Wii Party U's House Party Mode Aims to Serve up a Unique Experience

Oh, cool!

Sounds like a good way to replace our last non-motion plus remote. Of course, seems like many games are coming with a Wii Remote pack-in by the end of the year.

Wait, is every physical copy going to come with a remote? I hope not, because I already have six Wii Remote Pluses and I don't want the digital copy...

Remember at E3 2012 when Nintendo stated they wanted to bring back the core gamers ...... shovelware like this won't help.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games comes with a Wii Remote as well. Also I can't find them Mario & Luigi Remotes anywhere to pre-order.

does anyone know how much will the digital copy be? i already have 4 wii motes ^_^

@Dambuster If you think this is shovelware, then you are wrong, and possibly have no friends that have fun at these little mini games. Last week i brought my friends over, played some good old wii party and we had lots of fun, and i bet this version will be better!

@ScorpionMG - Ignore dambuster, he spent the entire live stream whining

The water scoop game may make us buy this game. But I HATE board games. Anybody know if you can just pick a number of games to play and play them. The World map in the last Party game was ok, but I'ld really rather not.

And Wii Party U does not roll off my tongue, Wii U Party just sounds better. Say them to yourself or out loud, Wii U Party sounds better.

We're gonna have a Wii U Party tonight! ALRIGHT! (It would make a good commercial.)

@rjejr i guess it is meant to say that nintendo parties us XD thats why Wii Party yoU

Im sure to buy this but maybe not first day

The house party mode reminds me of what I've seen of Spin the Bottle: Bumpy's Party. It looks to really utilize the GamePad in unique ways.

@rjejr idk it still sounds weird, what about U Party Wii'th Us?

Hmm... At first I was a bit disappointed at the ND, but I'm getting more and more info, and I'm now a bit cheered up, after a-bit-less-than-normal day. DKTF may have to wait.

On topic, I think I need this game!

sounds like a blast! Just what you want after the pub with your mates

Pretty sad Direct when this was the most interesting thing.

To buy or not to buy. This looks fun.

I just can't really go for multiplayer-only games nowadays

This apparently has 80+ games, i'd like abit more info on them as we have seen maybe 15 so far and only for a short amount of time. The price point is excellent and the games look interesting but we need a more in depth preview before release.

Already got my copy pre-ordered.

@ScorpionMG @thesilverbrick Give an extra Wiimote as a gift to somebody or replace a worn out Wiimote?

they're all in a good condition... idk, i'll have to see if there's a digital copy first

@Mahe ^

after the nintendo direct this is the only software I am interesting, I just cant believe how bad is nintendo doing this time with the wii U

@jayclayx Are you interested in other retail games like Just Dance 2014 and Wii Fit U, or eShop games like Wii Sports Club and Mighty Switch Force 2?

@thesilverbrick if you've got the problem of an excess of motion plus remotes there, you can always send a couple to me LOL

Looks interesting but I have to get a Wii U first. Hoping to get one for Christmas from my dad.

@YorkshireNed
Not sure I like the idea of having my Gamepad on the floor with 'merry' mates dancing around it. Loved Wii Party, so looking forward to this.

I wanted this specifically for the free controller, so I am not sure I will get it after they announced the M&L wiimotes.

Still some of those games look interesting in how they combine controllers.

@turnmebackwards
Gamestop has them. I'm waiting for Amazon though. I don't like paying taxes.

@jayclayx
lol I hope you're joking. Nintendo's doing so great with the Wii U it's blowing the socks right off my feet! NSMBU was great, but Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 were two of the best games I've played in years, no joke. Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell Blacklist- even more amazing goodies thrown in the mix. The there's Zelda Windwaker, which is just epic. And Sonic Lost World, my goodness, it looks like the best Sonic game since the 16-bit era! That Super Mario 3D World trailer shown today... a tear of joy rolled down my cheek as I watched it. Best Mario EVER. DKC Tropical Freeze also. Best Donkey Kong EVER. Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Mario & Sonic at Winter Olympics 2014... it's too much awesome at once! That's not even counting games like Batman Arkham Origins, Assassin's Creed 4, Call of Duty Ghosts, Watch Dogs and Deus Ex Human Revolution... Wii U is the best console ever made!

@ScorpionMG If they are in good condition then sell one... I'm sure a lot of people would love to have these new Wiimotes.

Glad to see I'm not the only one exciting about this one. Only ever played Wii Party at a buddy's house, but we had a good time. And this looks much more inclusive for non-gamers than NintendoLand, which was amazing but pretty mechanics-heavy for people who never play games.

@Freakazoid - Wii Party yoU

Yeah, that's why I don't like the sound of it, sounds like a running gag on /.

In Russia, we party you.

@ScorpionMG U Party Wii'th Us

I actually like that. The Wii U has been out less than a year adn I'm already sick of all the Wii titles. Wii Fit U, Wii Party U. They should as least be:

Wii U Get Fit (sounds like We and you get fit, together)
Wii U Party (b/c its a party on your Wii U gamepad)

And I like yours, U Party Wii'th US b/c it doesn't even start w/ Wii at all.

How many Xbox360 games start w/ Xbox360 in the name? Or PS3 games? Why does everything have to be called Wii when the system isn't even called Wii, it's a Wii U!

Sorry for the rant, I'm done now.
