Posted July 19, 2007 NTSC version PAL: For some reason the boarders on the side of the screen have been changed to just plain black in the PAL release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2007 Can anyone confirm if that's the same for Europe? or just Australia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2007 For some reason the boarders on the side of the screen have been changed to just plain black in the PAL release. If I have understood correctly, they removed NTSC-version's borders because they could leave burn marks on plasma TV. Black border shouldn't do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2007 Yesterday I was playing this looking for the "spastic" thing and I ended up finding it. It's pathetic it got re-called,big deal it was just a spell the with was saying.If anyone has this but hasn't seen it go to the Shy Guy course with the train and land on a green space (that isn't in the kitchen) so that the with appears. Also pathetic how long it's taken to put it out in the shelves. Other news,apparently pre-orders for MP8 have broken 500,000 in Japan. I find it hard to believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2007 Other news,apparently pre-orders for MP8 have broken 500,000 in Japan. Yeah apparently... http://www.cubed3.com/news/8185/1/Mario_Party_8_Wii_Pre-Orders_Hit_500,000_in_Japan Nintendo Sales | Mario Party 8 Wii Pre-Orders Hit 500,000 in Japan Quick News - Japanese blogger sinobi, who regularly updates with leaked Famitsu numbers, has confirmed that retailers have pre-ordered 500,000 copies of Mario Party 8 Wii in comparison to 300,000 units of Minna no Golf 5 for PS3. With both hitting on the same day, can Nintendo's game actually sell more in the first week, though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2007 I want this game, but our GAME always gets sold out before I manage to get it. Hero-of-Time, you sellin' by any chance? =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2007 i have got this game and it is amazing. might get boring after a while but all games do. played it multiplayer non stop for a week now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2007 Those pre-orders are absolutely incredible, seriously if a spin-off sub-par Mario can sell half a million in Japan then I'm going to feel sorry for Sony when they try and keep up with the sales of the Wii around the release of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawls, Wii Fit, Sonic Mario Olympics and Animal Crossing :/.

Posted July 23, 2007 I played my mates version for a 15 round game...and it wasn't too bad...or slow. I don't get what people are complaining about. It's actually so funny that the games even more random than it used to be with stars & coins etc. It should have a "Don't play if you're a sore loser" warning or something. People are trying to sell the "Spastic Edition" for £50-£60 on eBay :shock: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 23, 2007 500,000!?!?!?!?!? FOR MARIO F*cking Party 8!?!? Good god! The public are idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 24, 2007 I got this game recently, and so far, I don't mind it, but I hate the fact the boards are SO SLOW and the Moped extra mini game has this similar lag... It's like as if the framerates 10 or something... It's on Wii yet the boards are extremely laggy, almost unplayable. I don't see why the boards aren't the same speed as the standard mini games. Play a previous GC edition of Mario Party and compare it to the boards on Mario Party 8, you'll be staggered with the speed difference... I played with a friend and it didn't bother him, but it really bothers me... Theres a decent selection of mini games but controls are a mixed bag. Some utilise the controller very well, others control terribly, I spotted at least one where it says to control the joystick, yet you are only using the Wii remote, which indicates this game was originally intended for GameCube and it feels like it... But despite this, I am going to persist on playing and unlock everything in the game seeing that I paid full retail price for this game... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 24, 2007 The party returns to Europe on August 8thWhat fun is the Summer without a party? Nintendo of Europe has confirmed that the newly revised Mario Party 8 will hit the UK once again on August 8th. “The offending word has been replaced at code level and the software reproduced. We are confident we have taken the correct appropriate levels and action necessary and in all new versions of the game there are no issues – however we cannot 100 per cent guarantee that every copy of the initial batch was returned to us and as such there may still be a small number of copies of the game in circulation.” - Nintendo rep http://www.mcvuk.com/news/27849/Mario-Party-8-back-on-August-8th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 31, 2007 I really don't get what IGN have been complaining about with this to be honest, it seems just like Mario Party before, but faster, more random, and with cooler, more useful items. And the spastic train level is great.....Much better than the levels of old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 31, 2007 Yeah i think the reviews were a little bit ott with the harshness actually. I still say it's a little bit better then every Mario Party before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 31, 2007 All 3 N64 Mario Party games are superior to the rest of them, IMO anyway. I've only played 1 and 2 but i agree COMPLETELY with that. The rest are just half assed efforts imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2007 So, yesterday I got the game. And guess what I found... The spastic line! Yay! It'll pop up whenever you hit certain "?" marks on the train map (lower-left corner on map selection screen). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
