What will Mario Party DS's online mode be like?

[cheat-master30]

I personally am wondering whether it will be:

1- Full board game and mini games each turn etc with like 4 or even 8 players over wifi.

2- Only mini games over wifi

3- Only another mode over wifi

4- Or two/three of the above.

What do you think it will be like?

[Symerwizkid22]

1, but only 4 players
any more than 4 and it would start moving very slowly and 4 is perfect for the mini games. imagine how more than 4 woud ruin all the mini games that you've come to love. sure it may be good for some... but overall more than 4 players is a bad thing;)

[cheat-master30]

I'm fine with the mini games and board in one as long as it there is no:

1- Button mashing

2- Random games (pull a rope)

3- Rotating the control stick the fastest.

Those mini game types really do suck, and take away all the fun from the game.

[Symerwizkid22]

rotating the control stick would be terrible with a D-PAD:(

[cheat-master30]

I know. You're telling me after how annoying it was rotating Bowser with either the D Pad or touch screen?

How many turns will it have though? I like putting the hightest number of turns and that will take some battery away.

[cheat-master30]

I guess around 20-30 for a normal game. I wonder if they'll still allow 50 turn board game events over wifi?

[Luis]

I don't know who will stay that long over wifi. People sure stay playing online in Mario Kart DS though.

[cheat-master30]

Depends. Games organised via forums and the like could last that long, if the capability was in the game itself.

[Symerwizkid22]

luis, you make a good point... people D/C so much i think a normal game would be 20, and a longer game would be 30. Or worst case-scenario we would have to do mini game tourney's over wifi.

[cheat-master30]

^More like this:

1 player disconnects after 10 turns because they're losing

Another disconnects half way through

Another disconnects because they're losing on the last turn.

You get 0 points because the opponents quit... Heh, probably not far from the future truth...

[Symerwizkid22]

^That is exactly what would happen; sadly.

[cheat-master30]

Or maybe the hacker way:

You play hacker or AR abuser

They get 999 stars and 999 coins.

You're stuffed.

[Symerwizkid22]

mario party online is starting to look bleek. i think i would end up wanting only mini games anyway

[cheat-master30]

Invincibility in Mini games code found....

[NintenDan]

Heh... Well, I for one will be getting this to add to my collection, then sell for the big bucks along with 1,2,4,5,6, and 7. All I need is 3 and 8 and my collection is complete! MWAHAHA!

Also, they won't be having points on Mario Party I reckon, because what you do with them. Apart from unlocking extras and etc. Also, I think they should make it that even if you lose, you can still earn points by getting the bonus stars, and completing certain events! That could lower D/C rate because everyone would get points, not just the best. Also, a no win-rate record would be good too, so people don't get competitive. An in-game win-lose record would be good, but it would help if it wasn't displayed online.

[cheat-master30]

You don't own Mario Party 3?

[NintenDan]

'Fraid not... but I have played it before!

[cheat-master30]

Wow, that must be bad, being a Mario Party fan and all.

[NintenDan]

Yeah, slightly terrible, but I'll be sure to get the DS version! I hope they make some interesting twists to the game play, like maybe a way of using the stylus to somehow control the game, like tap the dice block.

I have gots good news! Nintendo replied to my letter, thanking me on my suggestions, some other stuff, and explaining the long delay, which was 4 months. (The reason was because they got so many letters, so get put in a delayed box...(

Alright, don't just change the conversation. At least post about what we're talking about.


AND NO NECROPOSTING

[blubomber17]

>_> It was about MPDS Wi-Fi.

[cheat-master30]

Hasn't Mario Party wifi been cancelled now?

[Symerwizkid22]

Exactly why momo lad has to stay on subject! Launches in Japan any time now, right?

[NintenDan]

I'm thinking that Wi-Fi has been confirmed not to be included in the game. Only multiplayer wireless.

[NintenDan]

Oh, it's been released in Japan, also.
