Save Files.

[yoshiboy]

Hello, Has anyone noticed that you can't have more than one save file?
In every older mario party (not mp and mp2) you had a choice to create 3 save files.
This thime you only have one.
How do you guys feel about that?
I think it's disapointing, I always made 3 save files and played al modes, like story mode again but then in a other save files.
I don't know why I do that, but I liked it.

So discuss!

Yeah, only one save file. And you can't erase your progress, like stuff you bought for example, unless you choose to delete Mario Party 9 from the Wii Channel Settings.

I never cared about save files anyways - I only used multiple files to play multiple games at once, but since saving part-way through a board is not possible now, I don't see a point in having multiple files.

I never really used another save file, unless a friend wanted to play when I didn't. It's always nice to have, though.

I actually preferred having 1 save slot- you can cooperate with your friends to unlock stuffs!

Wait. What? You can't save and resume when you're in mid-game on a board if you want to take a break?

Sadly, no.

In story mode, you can stop your progress after a board until you're ready for the next board. But yeah, they didn't implement that option into this game.

I don't think they bothered with this because they felt like you could complete it in one sitting. Alas, on average, it should only take you 30-45 minutes per board, since it's linear. Sometimes longer if you somehow play a lot of mini-games than usual.

I only need one file anyways, doesn't bother me at all. All those things do is take up extra memory.

 

[Wiiboy4ever]

Well that is just terrible.

I always thought save files were a bit pointless.

I thought it was better to have 3 save files for party mode, 3 for story mode, and keep minigame records and unlockables global like in MP9.

For me, only one save file is ok because I only need one for myself, but I can understand for others.

Yes, I have noticed that as well. I don't like that, either. How come they couldn't include more files to be available to choose from. Once I  complete Story Mode or something, I wouldn't want to play it on the exact same file, I would want to start it on a new file. But I guess it's okay, because overall, it's not a bad game.
