I actually cannot wait for this game to come out! I'm looking forward to some new Mario Party madness in Wii style.

I have always disliked Mario Party games, but who knows, if Wiimote control is well-implemented and the mini-games are fun it might be a pretty decent game.

Featuring a stripped down version of the Wave-Race 64 engine!

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

No way! Not that good! Smilie

Mario Party games are always the same, I don't think I'll buy one ever again, unless Sonic is in it. That's be sweet.

I love the first Mario Party, if that ever comes out on VC I'll be getting it for some huge nostalgia.

Game looks alright, but i've never really been into mario party, maby when it's really cheap, also does anyone else think the graphics in that hovercraft bit look reaaaally nice?

I was thinking the same thing Blade, the visuals are quite nice on the hover cart part.

I was thinking the exact opposite, textures on the rocks are abysmal and I hate the colours.

Looks pretty nice in the visual department - quite like some of the reflections, water's not too bad - a nice step up from the GC efforts but the minigames don't seem that thrilling.

It all looks nice until you go anywhere near it, that's bump mapping for you.

quite like some of the reflections

Where?

Doesn't really matter though, there are loads of these mini games right?

I have one problem with those trailers...where's the wiimote? All those mini-games not only look like they could be done on a normal controller but some of them even look like they'd be better suited to a normal controller.

I think I should say that I've never actually bought a Mario Party game Smilie Played some of the good ones they can be a laugh with 3 other people. I just think that the Wii version is going to be cool because of the experience you'll probably get out of it.
