The Mario Party-Party in Hamburg
Special by Tim Herrmann ( mail ) | 02/16/2012
It's called good hamburger Schietwetter whipped by two editors on their faces as they take on a mild Tuesday on the way to a very unique party at the jetties. Despite the darkness and rain and wind can be the event location is not long hide from prying eyes. Even through the fogged windows sparkle bright sparkle shapes, colorful screens. Power Mushrooms and item blocks decorate the window sills. It would probably be welcome to a 1-Up Mushroom? In any case, there were one or two amusing sight. First, everyone gets a sticker-mustache for the harmonious atmosphere. For the ladies were elegant tiaras available.
The grandees of Nintendo Germany had joined forces to celebrate this special occasion, but cast the same in their finest evening wear. The PR manager of Nintendo Germany led a bright peach pink ensemble including matching tiara and blonde hair on the catwalk for the show, during contacts for press representatives on the timeless blue dungarees and appropriately on the glued mustache familiar - the whole course in combination with a cheeky-fresh green top. It was Mario Party-Party in Hamburg.
The 9th Part of the traditional series is back. What more does not mention 2005 or 2006 would be worth, is now celebrated with an honorable event. Appeared before the Wii launch almost year by year new mini-game collections with Mario and his cohorts - with some stagnant quality and originality - was almost incredible part 9 five years in coming. Almost unbelievable that number when one considers that Mario Party was almost eight million selling console by far the most successful branch of the virtual board game mini-game party 8, and thus almost demands a sequel.
In five years, a series is quite violent change - five years provide an opportunity to rethink deadlocked concepts to develop new ideas and fresh creative team will leave. This is exactly what happened to Mario Party 9th And so the critical eye looks this evening that has become the real Mario party on one of six screens, flickering over the full version of the title, at 02 March 2012 Europe will celebrate its world premiere.
But before we can start really - uproar in the same: a grunting ape, we go once stormed out of the ex-Urschurken Donkey Kong, with flags flying from the men's restroom - and chases a screaming Princess Peach, the kidnapping roaring through the Primates first behind the TV and then the middle of the bar escapes, only to save themselves then eventually towards breakfast, which was opened in the same breath festive. Only this: mushrooms, there are no refreshment. Luckily.
Meanwhile, Nintendo conjures the fighting spirit in every Mario Party veterans and offers to participate in a sweepstakes, in which four loose mini-games from the 80-strong portfolio of games to be completed. The way is already beginning to unlock and provide all out in the open mode to choose from. Striking: The mini-games rely less on movement control using the Wii Remote as representatives of other genre on the console. The Motion Plus sensors are used throughout the game will not anyway. This will be done, however, more traditional buttons are used to imitate some specific commands quickly, characters move in an area or perform actions that would have worked before, perhaps with one swing of the controller.
Of course we have lost in the overall competition with a crash (well, not crashing won), treat the Mario Party-savvy and, moreover, in retrospect as a Tetris block party-goers dressed for overall victory but benevolent. Meanwhile, the party community dares to a very classic game Mario Party on one of the new boards. About half an hour is the party beach party on the map, where players will be chased by a shark named Hainz or riding on dolphins to secret points to. The maps are loaded once again with all sorts of surprises. All four game characters move together in a car (or in this case boat) on the card, but still collect every one for themselves and each other points. Points to keep her as the mini-stars, the odds are this time villain Bowser will break again in the mouth.
In three, five or ten packs, they are scattered loosely on the map and are collected by the player who is currently using to roll the dice (this is the team captain). This brings with it the one hand, that you can dust off and to the stars, to whom the player has approached close by luck of the dice. On the other hand, this also a certain amount of maneuvering becomes possible when the really bad 1-2-3-dice the player as long as you keep away from the nearest star package.
Otherwise, the Mario Party formula to life again received: From time to wait versus mini-games to the party-goers who seem to be undervalued with only about five to winning stars, but something - at least compared to what else just to the road lying around. Boss fights are there already much richer: players work together and play poker against an opponent with bombs against a Bob-Omb or hurl Koopa shell at a Cheep Cheep. In the end, but one who lands the last hit, and who has his total attack caused the most damage. Based on his victory at the end of the stars are distributed.
For a bit of skepticism makes the relatively slow and sluggish flow of the game. Each train will be announced separately once more, accompanied by appropriate animations - and, ultimately, is a testament to the A-button necessary. If it then goes on the card, the vehicle will always be short, if there is to collect stars, and the solemn stellar acquisition process is devoted to a short animation. All this takes a maximum of one second and is thus not much difference but still slows the flow of play. In this regard, the developer has succeeded in his last work directly, Wii Party, already a zackigere game speed and fluid.
Mario Party was dedicated to him, partly on the party once again that some people are just not lucky. The only way to explain how a lead of 25 mini-stars in the last five minutes of play of a map that can still turn into a deficit of five mini-stars. The final sprint in Mario Party seems to be analogous to the blue shell in Mario Kart to behave, one felt regularly stops just before the finish. The relentless settlement at the end finally chooses not only the overall winner, but also distributed a few (perhaps decisive) Extra-star mini-game to the best graduates and those who moved forward with his boat, the community features on most expeditious
After this party shame it still requires a change to end the evening as pleasant as it had begun - and then the view pans over to the RPG corner next to the blinking, flashing Mushroom Kingdom. Nintendo has the colorful Mario-party scenario namely the two dark JRPGs The Last Story and Pandora's Tower expands, both in their German versions. The location seems to have succeeded very well. The voice acting in The Last Story is strongly reminiscent of what one already knows from Xenoblade Chronicles, and Pandora's Tower is an action-heavy dungeon-crawler with exotic love story and obscure atmosphere of the game, as we have already noted in the last year. For everything else recommends a look at our scan reports from gamescom . Appear in a week or two months in The Last Story and Pandora's Tower in Germany. Fans will have less time to PokéPark 2 - wait dimension of desire. It comes on 23 March 2012, celebrated with dinner and also added color distinct voices battles with the overall appearance of the sinister role as Mario Party games to monster hearts, betrayal, and epic.
The findings of the evening. Mario Party 9 is a refreshing party game collection, the familiar, classic ideas and blends unobtrusively with new aspects are relevant to socialize (= parties) is surely their friends. And, you know, it's-a Mario - Wii party on the other hand comes with its Miis and the smooth presentation of nunmal difficult, although it objectively playful many parallels between the two titles out of the house is NdCube. The second lesson: mustaches are just crap. The honest respect for the end of this article is therefore the above-mentioned Luigi impersonator from Nintendo will be given that the hot mess all night long under the nose (he) was wearing and flaunting it proudly.
