Not sure if Mario Party works well with players coming and going. Why would I want to jump into a game where some dude has messed up everything for my character?

Dat Gamecube-level assets. Looks great for a handheld.
Because it's Mario Party on a handheld.
I never got into this series, and I'm not exactly hurting for 3DS games. If it gets really good reviews, I'll get it.

listen to the mad man
I agree with Nintendo that Mario Party is better in person than it would be online...
... but it'd be better online than against computers and better online than sitting on a shelf unplayed.

Yep. I'm not giving Nintendo any more money until I'm totally sure it's worth it.

Agreed. As much as I'll probably play locally with friends, I need online to play with friends/family as well.

This game won't give me blisters on my palm, would it?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Online capability makes this the first Mario Party worth getting excited for in a long time.
None of my friends would sit down and play on the couch multiplayer Mario Party, now. I think most 20~ year old males can say the same. And who the hell plays Mario Party alone?
Edit: Apparently it's not confirmed yet. Dammit.

Is that even possible with the Circle Pad? :lol
This needs to have online or else there's no point of having it on a handheld, i don't think i could find 4 people with 3DSs just to play a game that would be better on a console.
Also, it would be pretty stupid if this doesn't have online when they have a console that is seriously in need of more games and that lends itself for multiplayer.

Would online play even be feasible for this game. Some of the mini-games use the AR function on the 3DS.
Well, it would be nice if it has online, but its not a deal breaker to me if it doesn't.
Edit
yeah, that seems more feasible

Yeah, my purchase relies on online play as well. They pulled that stupid shit with Star Fox, surely they wouldn't do it again.
Honestly, they could easily cut those mini-games out of online MP then if it doesn't work out.
I'd rather have most of the mini-games in online MP than no online MP at all. And to clarify, I'm not saying to cut the AR mini-games out completely, I just mean to keep them only for offline/local play. That way there IS some incentive to play local MP anyway (besides playing with your friends, of course).

There better be single cart play.
I do remember having a good time in high school on a senior trip playing mario party ds with like 3 people on the bus.
I see no scenario right now where I can experience this again lol.

Yeah it's no problem in say a figthing game, because the matches are a couple of minutes. Some MP sessions may last hours!

This game would be great for asynchronous gameplay. I lose all interest without an online component.
if anyone played mario party ds 4 player local, it is absolutely so much fun.
fast paced, which later games on the GC werent.
single cart ds play for every mode, which is awesome.
loads of great mini games.
this looks great, if it does have online, it needs some form of communication. not really a party otherwise huh

Which is soooo weird. Every 3DS Nintendo game with multiplayer recently has had online.
I really don't see this as an online game. I don't know if I'd want to commit to an online game that takes so long and is so involved, knowing they could drop out at any point. It's not like drop-in gameplay works for Mario Party.
The only thing I could imagine for online multiplayer is like a mini-game show-down modes.
With that said, this looks like the best Mario Party in years. It looks like a total refresh, and the mini-games look great.

Game looks beautiful. Even without online I might still pick it up. The minigames looks awesome and I really just can't get over the visuals. Mario Party DS was pretty dope.

Cool.
I hope the roster doesn't suck this time.

Yep. It doesn't make sense for a handheld party game to not offer online. I love the MP series but won't buy on a hanheld unless I can play online. Shame... This one looks really fun.

Mario Golf just gots its online mode announced and ND Cube (developers of this) have been hiring for network-related positions, so I'm hopeful.

I'd hope if there was they would scream about from the rooftops. Then again Nintendo do like to do this thing where they surprise us with an info dump starting a few months before release.
So basically its an unknown now. I'd put the chances slightly higher than Mario Golf World Tour having an RPG mode but not significantly so.
I want online too, but I know it would be as disappointing as online Monopoly. Noone would finish a game. Who wants to stick around to see their lead of 20 stars wittled away on those hilarious end game Mario Party rules.
"Luigi has NO stars.... so Peach has to give him 5 of hers!"
The game isn't coming out till the end of the year; there's plenty of time for more information to be trickled out. If they want to get people excited about online multiplayer, they'll probably wait until a handful of months prior to release.

If this has Download Play option, it is instant buy since I host StreetPass MeetUps.

Well there is still time for them to announce online multiplayer. Mario Golf just announced its online today and Luigi's Mansion's online mode wasn't made known until earlier this year.

Exactly what I was saying, plus, ND Cube was hiring for a Network Programmer.

This I agree with. Maybe they will announce online later.
