I liked 9 quite a lot when it came out so I hope this LP will manage to make the opinions a bit more nuanced on this one. Time will tell I guess. Excited for the return of TRG Mario Party!
At last, Mario Party 9. I will give it some credit, it has a better minigame selection and improved motion controls over 8. I don't hate the car, but I feel like they should have kept a couple of boards using the regular Mario Party rules. Like, MP6-8 introduced boards with new gimmicks, like (1/?)
Faire Square, Clockwork Castle, Koopa's Tycoon Town, Neon Heights, etc., but they still had boards that functioned like standard MP boards. If I were to make a compromise, if you took the boards and standard board rules of MP8 and combined them with the minigames and improved motion controls (2/?)
of MP9, you would have the definitive Mario Party game on the Wii, imo.
Also, I really hope Tim wins this one. Seeing how 9 is a multiple of 3 and an even number, and seeing how without counting the 3-way tie in 7, his last and only win was MP3, it would be nice to see him win another Mario (3/?)
Party game. With that being said, I hope Jon wins at least ONE board since I doubt his mind can handle it if his luck is as horrible as it was in DS. (4/4)
