Topic: Super Mario Party Jamboree

@Nintoz
Well, it will be good news if the motion play can be changed into button based gameplay.

Looking at footage of the boards…
Is Boo gone?
I haven’t been able to find him on any of them.
It would be a shame if they got rid of the one mechanic that balances out some of the luck-based shenanigans you can pull off.

@JakedaArbok Yeah Boo's probably gone...as a mechanic at least, cause you can still play as him.
Same goes for the Koopa Banks

Yeah, I don’t remember too much from Super but I’m pretty sure they had Lakitu replace Boo in that game… don’t see him either.
My biggest gripe in Super was the lack of negative interactions that could happen on a board, leading to everybody just roaming around to get to the star.
I hope whatever events happen on the boards are a little more damaging to take the place of that.
I need to check the footage again, but is Chance Time gone too?

@JakedaArbok Chance Time is back!
I know what you mean about the lack of negative interactions, hopefully that should have improved a little this time as we have red, unlucky and bowser spaces.

@Nintoz
Yeah, I forgot about the unlucky spaces, those two combined should help a little bit more.

@JakedaArbok Just to correct myself, I was looking at the boxart a minute ago and saw the Boo bell item so you'll be able to summon a boo through that method at least!

@JakedaArbok @Nintoz I believe Boo is still a part of the map, I think he has a stump in the Kart map, and a Boo sign can be seen from the bottom of the Goomba Volcano place.

NDCube, the company likely behind Super Mario Party Jamboree, is now called Nintendo Cube.

Personally I think NDCube is a better name but Nintendo Cube isn’t that bad. It’s be cool if they were called Game Cube instead XD

@PikminMarioKirby Yeah I wonder what that's all about because I think most would agree NDCube is a better name.
The only reason I can think why they would do this is to better establish themselves as a subsiduary??

I think most people will still call it NDCube as at the end of the day, it's just an abbriviation of Nintendo Cube

@Nintoz It’s possible that Nintendo wanted NDCube to re-name themselves just so they’d be more like a Nintendo branch. I don’t mind the change too much, I’m sure I’ll get used to it eventually!

One thing I really hope happens with this game is that board selection is more random when playing online. With Superstars, it kept being Peach's Birthday Cake repeatedly unless you removed it from the rotation.

The Japanese overview trailer is out now.

Any guess yet of whether the game will have a story mode? I'm much more likely to get it if it has a good 1-player mode to go through. I don't really know anyone in real life who likes Mario Party so couch co-op or even online co-op with friends is kind of out. I want good single player mode and good online rando person mode 😅

@FishyS It looks like it does based off the new Japanese website footage.
What exactly it entails is a bit difficult to gauge but it looks like it involves moving around the regular boards by yourself interacting with NPCs

@FishyS @Nintoz From what I've seen it's basically going to the in-game boards interacting with the locals (Toads, Spike, Goombas, Shy Guys, etc.) while being able to move semi-freely. I think the plot is essentially that you are are helping people set up the Party on the different boards. Seems like it's just a 1-player campaign, and this didn't even show up in the overview that I saw.

Literally every time I hear more about this game it becomes more and more promising. Mario Party 8 was the last 'great' Mario Party in my opinion, but this is looking to take the crown as one of the best in the series.

In the overview trailer you can see Boo stealing coins. I think he's back. I didn't see any Boo spaces either though.

Love what I'm seeing in the overview trailer. I already loved Mario Party Superstars and this game looks even better than that! The boards, minigames, and the Koopathlon mode all look fantastic, and heck, even Toad's Item Factory looks pretty fun.

Let's go baby, full online play confirmed!!! They had me worried for a sec, ngl.

Looks like certain ranks have to be obtained in order to unlock the Bowser board as well as the retro boards
