Londragon Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Anyone else just see this? I can't un-see it now!
Dcubed Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Is it download play at least?!! Dunno, but I'd be very shocked if it wasn't, considering that almost all of Nintendo's multiplayer 3DS games support it, as did Mario Party DS - hell that game offered download play for the complete game, not cut down in any way!
Tamazoid Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Mario Party DS was a fantastic game, I had a blast playing the download play multiplayer with a group of friends. Probably the best DS multiplayer experience I had.
yesteryeargames Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Indeed spent many a long train journey playing mario party with friends.
-Dem0- Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Another one for 2014. NoE: "Not announced in this latest Nintendo Direct, but in order to deliver the optimum gaming experience for fans, Mario Party: Island Tour will now launch in early 2014."
Dcubed Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Yeah, saw this one yesterday. A bit upsetting, but not too bad when you consider that it was due to release only a couple of weeks after Wii Party U anyway. The DKCTF delay hurts a lot more...
Josh64 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I did think it was odd that we'd still seen barely anything about this. It's a shame but the 3DS could do with a few more first-party releases next year.
yesteryeargames Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Nooo this and mario golf delayed until 2014 bad times
f00had Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I love Jennette Here's another ad of her playing the ghost game.

These games aren't meant for the likes of CVG or IGN; they're social games that are designed for local play, laughs and punching the dick next to you who just nicked your last star Edited November 21, 2013 by Dcubed

Guy Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Mario Party will still sell super well on 3DS even if the reviews are poor. Hell, even I'm interested. Mario Party sessions are hilarious.
Wii Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Continuing on from the earlier review. Looks like its not so hot. IGN SCORES MARIO PARTY: ISLAND TOUR WITH A 5.5 IGN has reviewed Mario Party: Island Tour and has given the game a score of a 5.5/10. While the review praises the ambitious download play and gameboard designs, it trashes the minigames and the new single player mode. Aggregate site Metacritic has the game at a score of 64 with eight reviews having come in. Have you played Mario Party: Island Tour for the Nintendo 3DS yet? What are your impressions of the game? Mario Party: Island Tour’s single-player campaign is laughably bad, and the ambitious, content-rich multiplayer options and unique game boards are ultimately dragged down by mostly boring minigames and unfortunate system-jerking motion control. A group of friends might only have fleeting good times with this collection. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/11/22/ign-scores-mario-party-island-tour-with-a-5-5/
Aneres11 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 So this is out next week! Is anybody buying it? I loooooove Mario Party - but this is getting such bad reviews! I don't know whether I want to dump thirty quid on a game that isn't meant to be too much fun, although if I'm honest I've always found the reviews of Mario Party to be way off. They're never that bad and there is always some fun to be had IMO. Having said that, I've never been a huge fan of the single player and all I will be playing is the single player which leaves me wondering if this will be worth a cheeky purchase. It looks so colourful and fun though! : peace:
welsh_gamer Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I paid off my ShopTo pre-order the other day. Mainly getting it for the monthly 3DS StreetPass meets we have in our area, so the local multiplayer fun should justify the purchase. Even if I decide to sell it on a few months down the line, it features download play, so I'm sure someone at our meets will still have a copy
Aneres11 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Yeah part of me is thinking that if it sucks I can sell it on fairly quickly and recoup most of the funds. I wonder if there is an option just to play the mini games as apparently the selection is very good with only a couple of duds. I think they need to release a MP on the Wii U - with the gamepad there are endless possibilities to breathe new life into the series. Plus, it is definitely more suited to a home console than a handheld IMO.
Gentleben Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Will be buying myself for Birmingham street pass events as well.
Mandalore Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Mainly getting it for the monthly 3DS StreetPass meets we have in our area Same here. There's a meetup the day after it comes out, should be good fun for at least the weekend. Can't say I'm looking forward to the gyro control mini games, why did they have to add such gimmicky rubbish?
