I've got 7 3DSs in my house. If it's got fully featured download play I'll be there on day 1, else there's no way I can justify buying 4+ copies to play MP.

 

[Neiteio]

The cover has Butterfly Wiggler on it.

Must-buy for that alone.

 

[daffy]

Appreciate the work that went into reposting that box art op

But you can justify having 7 3ds I mean where do we draw the line azriell

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Playable Bowser Jr.? This will fill that Koopa Kid void
If Itadaki Street can do online, I don't see why this can't

 

[ZAMtendo]

I know at least two people that have a 3DS and LOVE Mario Party...but everyone refuses to buy because of no online...we don't always see each other.

 

[hatchx]

No online no buy as well. Single player Mario party is just boring. Atleast Mario golf is going to have all the fine trimmings.

Careful! You might draw out the crazies who say Mario Party would be a worse game with online play.

I don't know why it's not online :/ There is exactly a 0% chance I'll ever have more than person over willing to play.

 

[EulaCapra]

Here.
You can see her waiting on the board, and I don't know if NPC were playable before.
Hope we can unlock her or something.

Be a damn shame if they just teased Rosalina on the box.

Boo, Shy Guy, and Kamek make an appearance but who knows in what capacity this time. Birdo and Toadette aren't even acknowledged and Birdo was in the last one!

There are people who don't want online?!

 

[Vintage_Creep]

It looks good but it's Mario Party.
Also I'm like buying 10 games this holiday.
Pass

 

[Byronic Hero]

Please done play like Mario Party 9. Please don't play like Mario Party 9.

Just go back to the basics, Nintendo, you haven't changed any of the other Mario spin off games that drastically before, just make it play like 1-8 and I'll buy it.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

.

No buy

Same. I simply can't do local multiplayer much anymore.

 

[blamite]

Should have been Luigi Party.

Spoiler

Also should be online.

 

[Oni Link 666]

It's on an island huh? I hope it's more like Delphino Island instead of Wuhu Island.

 

[Mlatador]

4 player local wifi should be damn fun!

 

[Boogiepop]

Looks nice. I'll probably pick it up for when I hang out with friends (assuming proper download play of course, but I'm not too worried seeing as DS did it fine), so no online isn't a deal-breaker for me.

 

[Majmun]

Did I miss some sort of Nintendo Direct today?

What's with all the Nintendo announcements?

Out of nowhere Iwata dropped the bombs, lol!

 

[Hale-XF11]

Yeah, if this doesn't have online, I will have no one to play it with, so it would be pretty pointless.

Nice box art though!

 

[Nori Chan]

Rosalina?!
I know what character I'll always pick
EDIT : Oh, she isn't playable I guess </3

How do you know she's not playable?

 

[batbeg]

I might buy this and Wii party u to play with my friends when I visit once or twice a month. I only have two friends with a 3ds though, need a fourth.

 

[Bladenic]

No online is the dumbest fucking thing. Nintendo stays flopping.

 

[pa22word]

No online? Yeah, no thanks.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Out of nowhere Iwata dropped the bombs, lol!

Weed out this stuff to leave room for the REAL BOMBS at the Fall Conference/Direct?

 

[VanWinkle]

Box art is far too busy.

 

[mooooose]

They should make Mario Party free to play and have it so if one person in a game has lots of minigames unlocked, you all get to play. Then add online.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I continue to be amazed by how Nintendo games that obviously need online like NSMB Wii U, Nintendo Land, and Star Fox 64 3DS don't have it, yet games like Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Kid Icarus: Uprising come with elaborate multiplayer modes with, surprise, online. Now the same thing is happening again with Mario Party (no online) and freaking A Link Between Worlds (some form of online connectivity).

It boggles the mind.

Lovely boxart, though. Rosalina's a nice surprise, too.

Spoiler

bring donkey kong seriously why did they cut him

 

[TheOGB]

Still no online

it hurts

 

[SoulUnison]

Even with only a 10 Turn length game, I think the average online gamer wouldn't have the attention span to make it even half way through. Not to mention all the rage-quits there'd be and disconnects when people feel like they're not going to win.

I can barely even get through the shortest game length in Luigi's Mansion online without at least one person dropping out, and that only takes about 15 minutes. The minimum length Mario Party game is more like 45 minutes.

 

[weevles]

A party game w/o online multiplayer?

Is there some kind of local wifi multiplayer at least?

 

[Madao]

so this is the first non-SMG and non-Mario Kart game with Rosalina?

i hope she's playable. i can always fall back on Daisy but rosalina needs to be playable in more games.

 

[Rizsparky]

Box art is far too busy.

Its nothing compared to this..

 

[Symphonia]

The last Mario Party game I played was MP4 on Gamecube. Has there really been nine other games since then? Damn.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I hope it has single cart download play. My fiance, kid and I will be playing this this fall. Me on my OG 3DS and them on their new 2DS's.

 

[NotLiquid]

I can't see online Mario Part working, let alone on a handheld. There'd be rage-quits left and right. The game's formula isn't really tailored for it.

That and I'd miss the ability to destroy relationships and physically assault my friends for stealing my fucking stars.

 

[SanguineShark]

Guess I'll be passing on this. Annoyed by the lack of online. For platformers, I can somewhat understand why ... but this shouldn't be an issue at all.

 

[VanWinkle]

Its nothing compared to this..

Hahah wow

You know, I gotta say though, while both of them are cluttered, the one you posted looks like...somewhat organized clutter. This 3DS one is just clutter. Stuff everywhere in random spots all over.

So? I could always play with friends or fellow GAFfers then. Without online multiplayer I won't be able to do either, which means the game is worthless to me.

Both Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion were outsourced to Project Sora and Next Level Games respectively. It's just Nintendo's internal teams that don't seem to be putting in online modes all that much.

 

[m0t0k1]

Roselina? I may have to buy this game. too bad i have nobody to play it with because i dont know anyone who is going to buy this game.

 

[Rizsparky]

Is there any news on download play? If so you may only need one copy of the game between 3DS's.
