Would have made more sense on the Switch.

Mario Party: The Top 100 announced
- Thread starter maxcriden
- Start date
Man, at least Star Rush was a relatively lightly received game by trying a new thing that wasn't the dreaded "CAR" and releasing before the Switch announcement. I love old school Mario Party but the animosity and drive-by endlessly regurgitated opinions about online, handhelds, and mechanics is a chore to read. I don't think Star Rush even got an OT though, it went that under the radar here.
... Any of the games gonna wear out your analog stick / pad? Or is Tug o' War button mashing, not spinning?
I posted on the last page, Island Tour actually had an analog spinning minigame, not that I think it was well advised.

Bombs Away is in? YES
okay, let's get Chain Chomp Fury and Dungeon Duos in there.
Seriously Dungeon Duos is class, surprised no one else has mentioned it yet.
As far as random stuff goes, random ride in MP5 was always worth a chuckle, choosing you flying machine and watching it smoke out in disastrous fashion.

I've been saying for YEARS that Nintendo should do "Mario Party All-Stars" with the best (or most highly regarded) boards and minigames in the series in one package.
This is a step in that direction but 3DS exclusivity is a disappointment. I don't want multiplayer games on 3DS as my friends aren't interested in that. They're all buying Switches and want to play around the TV just like back in the N64 and Gamecube days.
It's a repeat of what happened with Mario Golf 3DS. I'd probably own that if it was on Wii U since I'd actually get mileage out of it on Wii U. My friends loved Mario Gold on consoles in the past.
A full-fledged "best of" Mario Party game may come to the hybrid platform at a point, and that's when I'll be jumping back in. At the very least, Nintendo has acknowledged the demand for something like this as opposed to another game in the vein of Mario Party 10.

So this really is a boxed release. Surely there are more than just minigames, right?
According to the Mario Wiki, Mario Party 7 has 88 minigames...
Boards confirmed?

I'm going to assume the "board play" is something really simplistic. Like, run around a square and winning minigames makes you go faster. If there were legit boards, they wouldn't have pushed the minigame part so much.

The thing about the boards though is that they took a steep decline when ND Cube took over. No reason to think they'll suddenly be better now that they're remaking a bunch of old minigames (some of which are based on ones they made) so I'd much rather not have the boards back. Replace them with something more streamlined.

and how exactly would that be killing the series off?
I think EU actually got Star Rush a month early. This is our revenge.

The 3DS had a spectacular year last year so they're still riding that wave of success. I think they still see the 3DS as better entry point to Nintendo IP for the younger audience also. That said, I fully expect 2017 3DS hardware/software to be way down from 2016, which I think will temper their enthusiasm for the platform quite a bit.
The games releasing now started production before the Switch was released to big success. I'm sure Nintendo wasn't sure if this thing would do well, so hedged their bets a little. Certainly Nintendo has always been inclined to slowly dwindle support on their handhelds anyway as they've phase out the old one. As we can see though, almost everything for the 3DS is now cheap smaller games, and are releasing very soon. Based on their announcements it looks like support will dry up completely in 2018, but we will know for sure in January probably.

This game looks amazing but I would have an easier time finding friends to play with on Switch because of the easier barrier to local multiplayer. I love my 3DS and I still buy games for it monthly but only this one specific game really should have been on Switch purely for the logistics
People saying this, remember if the game truly doesn't have a board or main game buitl around it, Grab Bag is worthless.

Speaking of which, I think Mario Party All-Stars would have been a better title for this game than the Top 100.

Hopefully they're saving that title for a game that includes all-star minigames AND boards.

I want to see what the board play looks like but I'm probably buying this.
I bought Star Rush and had fun with it.
edit: boxart clearly shows it has some amiibo functionality.

I do want online but 3DS is perfect. Theres only 1 game (for me) worth shelling out for a switch and I'm most definitely not buying a switch for one game.
It is odd that it isnt both switch and 3DS tho.

Don't know if it was posted already but there's a new trailer?

Can't watch it with Audio now but it seems to go over the different game modes (some have boards, apparently, while others are just the minigames) and Amiibo Functionality.
