I thought these games were garbage back when they came out. Didn't buy a single one of these myself. I hated it when friends wanted to play it.

Oh dont get me wrong, i've never liked these games. If i wanted to play a board game, i'd play a board game. If i wanted to play a coop couch game, then there was MK64 or WCW/NWO revenge or Goldeneye. But what i was referring to was the general public's tolerance and even acceptance of these games when they came out.

hell, given that MP10 just charted on the NPD that franchise still holds some sway over the philistines of our nation.

Yes, thankfully those were the mainstays with my friends as well. There was just one weirdo that sometimes wanted to play fucking Mario Party. That the games still sell like this baffles me as well. Although this one supporting Amiibos might also have helped.

 

[Archaix]

Mario Party has always been and will always be garbage. Mario Party's success and nostalgia is only evidence of Nintendo fans' inability to reconcile seeing Nintendo characters in an awful game.

I liked the minigames in the first pokemon stadium

 

[Skyzard]

Been listening to a bunch of bombcasts recently, loads from the last month or two.

Jason really piles on Dan sometimes. I even started to feel a bit bad. But then >

Also, I feel like Brad really shines in the casts compared to the quick looks or other videos that I remember seeing him in.

Since they're on the gamecube games, maybe they'll check out all of those crappy Mario Sports games that came out, like the basketball one and the baseball one. I think the basketball game was done by EA and on the DS Square Enix made a basketball game, too?

weird times for nintendo

As someone who enjoys playing baseball video games I was always curious to try the gamecube one out. Of course it was never released in Europe, so I have no idea how good or bad it was.

Since they're playing the Gamecube games on a Wii, maybe we'll finally get Episode 2 of the Fortune Street Endurance Run.

Spoiler

while we're in pie-in-the-sky land and all.

 

[Reedirect]

That was the best MPP so far. Jeff's agonizing scream when they were forced to play Pair-a-sailing for like the sixth time had me in stitches.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Just wait until they get to the Wii Mario Party (7, I think?) when you bring MOTION CONTROL into the equation for minigames.

You want to talk garbage design...

The garbage design was when they put all the players on the same vehicle for the board and just changing who has control of it.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

I'm actually a bit bored with the Mario Party Party feature now. The first two were fun but I just feel like I'm watching the same thing now in each video. I'm not sure I'll even bother with the next one.

 

[danm999]

Wait, THAT'S what the vehicle thing is? I thought it was just that they all used vehicles. But they're all in the SAME vehicle? Holy shit.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Yeah, I want to say all the Wii games are this way. Or at least the ones I've played. Sadly my wife really likes the series.

The vehicle was introduced in 9 and is in 10 for Wii U.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Damn, if it's only in one of the wii games then those games really blend together. I feel like they were in more than just that one.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Not all of them. 7 is more like a normal mario party. I think 9 did the vehicle thing.

 

[danm999]

Actually, I can maybe see Jeff and Brad really liking that change if it results in less interaction and agency for them in the games.

The lickitung game was wonderful.

 

[Mully]

he was drunk. I know i've eaten some random stuff when heavy drinking is involved

Ranch on pizza is only edible when I'm drunk.

 

[tchocky]

I think the most surprising thing about Mario Party is that they only made 2 for Wii after making 4 Gamecube games.

Ekans toss is where it's at.

Yeah that's a good point. They really cranked these things out on the commercial failures but held back on their megahit.

Guess we'll see lots on the Wii U then..?

I think the most surprising thing about Mario Party is that they only made 2 for Wii after making 4 Gamecube games.

the first one on the wii is a real gem: it states that it has widescreen support.

what it actually does is render the game at 4:3 and then the sides of the screen have some bullshit there to fill the space.

fucking mario party is playing games with aspect ratios, too.

 

[Archaix]

Wait, THAT'S what the vehicle thing is? I thought it was just that they all used vehicles. But they're all in the SAME vehicle? Holy shit.

Can't have anybody feeling too bad when they see somebody else further up on the circular board.

Yessssss.
I see DBZ in the background, but I hope we get some more Bloodborne.

 

[Falifax]

Yessssss.

Eh, it's been almost a month. Let's just move on.

 

[ratcliffja]

Man this Affordable Space Adventures QL is REALLY frustrating. The solutions are really, really obvious yet they keep doing the complete opposite thing.

 

[cdViking]

Watched the first half of the Mario Party Party last night... Jeff was FIRE. Haven't seen him in that jokey mood in a long time.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Eh, it's been almost a month. Let's just move on.

I'm still on the cleric beast

The testing will never end for GBeast.

Yeah he was great. This whole week he has been on top of his game.

 

[Liamc723]

Then it's definitely time for you to move on.

 

[Scizzy]

I've just started Mario Party Party 4 and it's clear that this feature needs an opening credits.

 

[Lijik]

I think the most surprising thing about Mario Party is that they only made 2 for Wii after making 4 Gamecube games.

Dont forget they also did Wii Party that gen too

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

lol that mario party ending

I want more Bloodborne.

Whats happening with UPF tonight? don't see it on the schdule.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Whats happening with UPF tonight? don't see it on the schdule.

every game brad tried before the UPF worked perfectly fine so now he's trying to find a broken game as a last minute substitution.

 

[Myggen]

Whats happening with UPF tonight? don't see it on the schdule.

No reason to believe that it won't go live at the normal time, they don't always put it on the schedule.

BLLSL deserves its own thread on Gaming next week, right?

 

[Megasoum]

Watching the Mario Party 4 archive and they keep talking about "Going Mega" and it's freaking me out lol.

 

[LegoArmo]

Vinny to play Bloodborne for 2 hours, then Jeff to play it for 2 hours on UPF.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Whats happening with UPF tonight? don't see it on the schdule.

UPF usually isn't on the schedule until later in the day (if at all).

Sounds very unprofessional.

I wish games still had campaigns.

Fuck real people

 

[mnz]

That Battlefront thread is madness. Everything sounds good to me so far and I don't even care about Star Wars.

What was this referencing anyway? It sounds familiar.
