REVIEW IN NEW ONM!!!

[GThing64]

Named minigames include:

• Launch Break (Rocket Lanching)
• Pizza me, Mario (Pizza Making)
• Speeding Bullets (Bullet Bill Racing)
• Growing Up (Press buttons to grow your beanstalk)
• Mecha Choice (Escape from Mecha-Koopas)
• Polar Extremes (Platforming)
• Skyjinks (Platforming)

Step it up returns from the DS game while Garden battle sees you win minigames to fill up your garden in a stratergy-based mode.  Also included is perspective mode which includes mini-games atered into a 'third-person viewpoint'.  The review also confirms Story mode, no classic mode and that MP points buy you new boards, vehicles and characters.  It also seems that toad houses are the new item shops.  It got 86%.  In comparison, Pac-man Party 3D got 37% and Mario Party 8 got 69%.


EDIT: Scans!  SuperZambezi: The Official Nintendo Magazine has asked that scans be taken down. Support ONM by buying a copy of the magazine and read the Mario Party 9 Review there!

Nice. It looks like all the information is pouring in now.

 

[GThing64]

Added scans.  Screens are nothing new, but there is some extra detail in there.

Well this is a huge disappointment. I thought normal party mode was going to return?

Who cares really, the game got an 86% grade that's really solid. Makes me look forward to what NDCube did with this game more. ;D

I REALLY CARE CLASSIC IS MARIO PARTY!!!!!

 

[PrinceLandon]

Things are looking good.  I for one don't mind the exclusion of "classic" play.  We already have 8 games with that.  As I've mentioned before in two other threads, I think these changes are both exciting and will be a breath of fresh air that the series desperately needs.  I can't wait! 

 

[zacktheninja300]

With all that's coming out with this game the exclusion of Classic seems small to me.

 

[GThing64]

I agree.  After the moaning about the series needing a reboot, it seems silly to complain about a change to the formula.

Well, it got a better score without Classic mode, so they have to be doing well.
