Mario Party(9) is finally back!

[Azure-Tranquility]

Am I the only one who didn't mind the handheld versions? They made car trips pretty enjoyable with my brother. The e-reader one was weird how they made it a physical board game but at the time it was pretty fun. But then again I and those plating it with me were 8 or 9 so if it has Mario in the title we loved it no matter what

The handheld entries are... quite different to say the least.

Mario Party Advance is geared towards single-player, while Mario Party DS is more like the console entries... but it's wierd.

I mean by the end of the day you're still rolling die, collecting coins, playing mini-games etc, but it still feels heavily watered down. But like Pope says, they are alright at passing the time in a trip.
