FINALLY. I love playing Mario Party with a group of friends. It's a fun way to spend a couple hours

It's also great that they FINALLY added Shy Guy and Koopa, after them being partners in Mario Party 3.

Great news! I've been wondering when the next Mario Party game would be!

seriously the series hasn't evolved at all since Mario Party 4. One of the guiltiest series of being nothing but rehashes. there's no way I'm going to buy into their bullshit agai-

Why is Toad yellow?
WHY IS TOAD YELLOW?
RE: Mario Party 9 (OT) of Devicho is confirmed! - Koopaul - 01-20-2012
We're assuming alternate colors, or who knows maybe he's there to take up the slot where Donkey Kong should've been.
EDIT: Bowser Jr. is not playable, he's a boss.

Gotta love how Luigi isn't on the cover.

Classic Mode will be in this. Love the new golden Dice Blcok.

isnt mario party's formula a bit overdone already?
the whole game's concept has turned into something completely dull, and most minigames just try way too hard to actually be something innovative.

I just hope they don't make anymore handheld entries. Stick to consoles.

hell, i'd even dare to say Wario Ware is a better mario party than mario party itself nowdays.

this is what you get my making a board game anyways
board games are boring as fuck

Uhh Mario Party has not gotten worse since the 4th one (and I haven't played the 4th one but a tiny bit).
2 and 3 might've been the best ones, but the others weren't bad in the least. 5, 7 and 8 were awesome and memorable (haven't gotten 6 yet).
