Ain't no party like a Mario Party.
It’s been almost five years since Mario Party 8 appeared on the Nintendo Wii, and that’s because Nintendo went back to the drawing board after a mixed reception post-release. New developer Nd Cube is now at the the helm with Mario Party 9, and they’ve brought some new favors to get the party started right…
-
Mini-games are the best in any party game... ever.
-
Party mode matches don’t last two hours anymore.
-
Boss battles are an excellent addition.
-
The new star/zstar system.
-
Luck > Skill
-
Players travel the board together, taking away individual progression.
-
Sub-HD graphics look like complete crap in 2012.
