Yes and no. It would be nice...but it would probably be a disaster if there was online gameplay.

Well as long as no one has terrible connection I don't think it would. I mean games like Mario Kart Wii work pretty good and that takes up to 12 people Mario Party only needs 4.

Also... when you go online, make sure nobody in on youtube or any form of Internet Video Streaming like BBC iPlayer... That always interferes with online play and makes it be very laggy.

online could be the perfect place to use miis...

Yeah it could avoid having let's say 4 Yoshis in one game. That could get confusing for minigames and such.

Unless it's like in Brawl or Mario Kart Wii where you have the name directly above it, it probably won't be confusing. But still, there could be alternate colors, but then again, that's never happened in Mario Party.
 
I think it should. I think Nintendo should make mini-games for worldwide/regional and mini-games as well as party mode for friends. If someone has to leave, they should be replaced by a CPU. If it does have wi-fi, then I hope it's not laggy because that'd screw us up on mini-games and other events :p
 
I think they should use Brawl's online system with friends only; a couple of people on the same Wii. So like, you and a friend can play your friend who's not at your house with you two.

Also, I think as far as people dropping out go, it gets replaced by a CPU. BUT, basing it's difficulty off of how well the person was doing is not really a good idea. Too much. They should either just ask the person in First Place or the Host of the game what to put it on, or you just set the CPU level BEFORE you start playing. If somebody leaves, the CPU is whatever you picked before hand. And if a Shy Guy drops out and a Yoshi wants to join, it wouldn't be that hard to make the characters switch, come their turn. Or maybe even make it so that when somebody drops out, a robot or ghost character appears as you play, then, when somebody else joins in, it goes from the robot to their character. Either that or you can search for games with an opening, or replace a CPU that is the character you want to play as.

Brawl has a free-for-all mode and a 2-vs-2 mode for online, why not MP9? But even if they did those two friends only, they should do something along the lines of the Minigame Cruise on MP7. Just minigames, moving up, done. That'd be alright I guess.

I'm sure we have this topic before.

I doubt there will be online. They may surprise us, sure, but I'm pretty sure the box-arts have all been finalized and there's no sight of that Blue Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Circle. Maybe for Mini-Game Mode, but I doubt it still.

Ya, I believe they would have put the Wi-Fi Connection circle on by now if they ever were going to include it.
Honestly, it would be cool if they did have it for minigames, for freeplay, or who could win the 7 games first, or something like that...
