Probably the best Mario Party game to date imo. The first since the N64 ones that I've actually enjoyed.

what

I felt the exact opposite, absolute worst Mario Party to date. When you can go through an entire Mario Party board only playing 2-4 minigames, something is VERY wrong. And it doesn't help that the actual board-play is significantly worse.

Ehh, looking at the video Gen posted, looks like they played 9 mini-games in their game of Toad Road and it took ~50 minutes (and that's with them talking to each other and generally playing at a slower than average pace). That's a mini-game for every 5.5 minutes of play.

In Mario Party 7 (which, I admit, is the worst game in the series for how long it takes to move on the board) a 15 turn game would take 90+ minutes, which is at best a mini-game for every 6 minutes of play.

I guess you could have games where you don't happen to land on the mini-game spaces, but then the game would take less time so you're probably getting roughly the same amount of games in relation to the time you spent on it.

I'm just happy it looks like a Mario Party where they were willing to try something new and it looks like the mini-games are decent. Not to mention they're all unlocked from the start so you don't need to play the board mode constantly praying you randomly get the last few you need to unlock everything.

The thing about MK9 is that getting mini-games are completely random, so yeah can get games where you hardly play any mini-games, and it happens pretty often. It's a pretty common and well agreed upon complaint about the game!

The mini-games themselves are good, much better than recent entries of the series (although the Wiimote control scheme definitely hurts it), but dear god you don't enough of them and the rest of the game is abysmal.

Mario Party's problem with later games is that they got caught up in the idea that if the game didn't have more, or some type of gimmick, it would be considered a ripoff.

I mean, s***, look at that microphone they tried to push for MP6. Disgusting.

The games became hectic as crap and weren't fun to play.

Stripping Mario Party of the elements that made it Mario Party isn't the way to go, though. This game doesn't look anything like what I was expecting.

Orbs were fine, but the problem was that there were SO MANY BOARD EVENTS that each turn took forever. Because of this, if you want to play with people you end up playing the lowest number of turns possible. And when you do that... things like Orbs that let you control spaces become less significant since people will only make it around the board once or twice before the game ends.

To be fair, Mario Party WAS getting incredibly stale with all the renditions that were pretty much the exact same thing each release.

But really, the problem was that they were just releasing too god damn many Mario Parties. I like my Mario Party the classic gimmick-free way, but there became a point where I just didn't feel the need to keep buying the same damn game. Just give me one Mario Party per generation for the hardware capability updates and leave it at that.

Looks refreshing and more about the mini-games and screwing over your opponent with dice rolls.

Mario Party is a series that would really benefit from DLCs.

Make one game, release Mini-Game and Board packs.

It would sell.

Everyone will probably agree 5 is good if not one of the best

Granted I've never played it, but from what I've seen, 5 looks really lame. All the capsules are boring, the minigames aren't anything special, and the boards lack imagination.
