In a recent interview with Hudson Soft, Shuichiro Nishiya he expressed that he would like to develop Mario Party for the Nintendo DS,

With its microphone and its two screens, Nintendo DS would be perfect to accomodate a play like Mario Party. Do you intend to carry out a title of the series on Nintendo DS?

SN : We would like to develop Mario Party for Nintendo DS, at the moment we are looking at some idea to bring to the series.

Hopefully they don't make it suck this time.

Online. Please.

The DS does seem like a good platform for a Mario Party game.

 

[radioheadrule83]

If its online or something, sure. If its just another Mario Party, why? I suppose I can see lots of potential with the touch screen and microphone, but I dunno...

Nintendo is beginning to irritate me with how many non-platformer games Mario manages to feature in. Mario Party is cool n' all... but theres been 7 of em. I'd like them to have good cause with this one...

Actually the DS seems to be a good platform for almost any game :lol

 

[Jo-El]

I love the Mario Party games. If they don't make a DS version then they must be crazy. There are sooooo many things they could do with the touch screen and mic Of course it would have to be online.

 

[Jacobi]

Would there even be a difference between online and single-player-mode ?

 

[gjb-sensei]

I'd be surprised if they didn't eventually make a Mario Party title for the DS...

 

[soundwave05]

I've never really been a big Mario Party fan, but isn't the point of Mario Party to be one of those games you play with your family/friends?

It seems more like the "gather around the big TV" type of a franchise. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, seeing as how it'd be an easy big seller.

 

[Companion Cube]

I don't think it would be so hot online. You wouldn't have 3 people screaming and laughing with you, it'd be like playing by yourself pretty much.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Online?

30 minutes in:

{Bigg Chris} rolls 3.
{Bigg Chris} has disconnected.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

They definitely need to put a microphone on the Revolution controller. It would then mimic everything the DS does except for a second screen.

 

[Oblivion]

They'd definitely make a Mario Party game before they even think about a SSB for the DS.

 

[jarrod]

Mario Party is cool n' all... but theres been 7 of em.

Actually there's been 8. More if you count the eReader cards.

 

[neptunes]

Make voice chat a standard plz

your might as well be playing the cpu.

 

[Oblivion]

I don't think it would be so hot online. You wouldn't have 3 people screaming and laughing with you, it'd be like playing by yourself pretty much.

So? It'd be just like any other online game.

 

[evilromero]

Actually there's been 8. More if you count the eReader cards.

9 if you count the GBA version.

 

[Jo-El]

If it's not online, they should atleast have single card multiplayer.

 

[jarrod]

9 if you count the GBA version.

Er, I was counting the GBA version...

Mario Party (N64) 1998
Mario Party 2 (N64) 1999
Mario Party 3 (N64) 2000
Mario Party 4 (GC) 2002
Mario Party 5 (GC) 2003
Mario Party 6 (GC) 2004
Mario Party Advance (GBA) 2004
Mario Party 7 (GC) 2005

 

[Sagitario]

Would there even be a difference between online and single-player-mode ?

That's what I'm wondering too...

 

[Andy787]

If it's online, I think this would actually be the first time since it's inception that a Mario Party could turn out really great. The novelty of the series has never been very long lasting to me, but I'm sure they could do a shit load of DS-specific mini-games that could actually make for a fun experience.

 

[Companion Cube]

So? It'd be just like any other online game.

Well, if it really floats everyones boat it wouldn't hurt to put it in. I just assumed everyone got their kicks from the chaos and tension that builds up in the room.

 

[Wrestlemania]

Why would you want to play a party game online? Seriously, do people even think before deciding that online would be a good feature in every game?

 

[soundwave05]

Maybe they could include a DS Camera with Mario Party DS, so you can watch the reactions of your friends that you're playing with online or something on the top screen.

 

[ChrisReid]

Er, I was counting the GBA version...

Mario Party (N64) 1998
Mario Party 2 (N64) 1999
Mario Party 3 (N64) 2000
Mario Party 4 (GC) 2002
Mario Party 5 (GC) 2003
Mario Party 6 (GC) 2004
Mario Party Advance (GBA) 2004
Mario Party 7 (GC) 2005

There was also a mario party (e-reader) card game. http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/498/498070.html

Why would you want to play a party game online? Seriously, do people even think before deciding that online would be a good feature in every game?

Yeah, I'd be all about a Mario Party game online. It'd be even easier to get 4 people together.

It seems like it would be just as suited for eight player local wireless, too.

 

[TheTurtleTitan]

Yeah, this type of game wouldn't bode well online, sadly.

 

[cvxfreak]

Mario Party 3 (N64) 2000

Mario Party 5 (GC) 2003
Mario Party 6 (GC) 2004
Mario Party Advance (GBA) 2004
Mario Party 7 (GC) 2005

Mario Party Advance is 2005.

 

[ShowDog]

A Mario Party on DS would be worthless without single-card multiplayer.
