TwinIon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 After watching that I was concerned that I only saw joycons and not any pro controllers, and it turns out that this game doesn't support pro-controllers at all. So now it'll cost me another ~$70 in joycons that I wouldn't otherwise have a use for if I want to play 4 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfit410 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My son had been watching videos on Mario party like crazy lately and begging me to let him play, but I just don't want to hook up the Wii to do so, so I've been waiting for this one.. day one purchase even if it sucks, I mean he plays Hello Neighbor and Roblox so this has to be a step up.

crispy4000 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Sounds like it's a return to form, but with a few polarizing changes to the board design (10-coin stars, less star stealing). Hopefully Nintendo gives this one some post launch support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought pro controllers for a reason. This basically makes it a $130.00 game. I have been looking forward to this for ages but now I may not buy it at all. I'm seriously bummed.

I'm trying to convince myself that I can buy the joycons and a grip and use that for other multiplayer games. Unfortunately there aren't many games that my friends would want to play, and I already have Gamecube controllers for smash bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that like it’s a bad thing in this games case. This game is meant more as a tabletop multiplayer game (think board game), through the use of one joycon per player. Not to mention the games that use multiple switch screens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiring a specific controller type when you offer several and they’re all expensive as hell? Yeah, it’s a bad thing. It’s great the game is trying some unique stuff, but they can easily detect controller types and cut out any games that would be incompatible. It’s not like they require two switches to play the game simply because there are mini games that can use them. This is bad and stupid, hands down. Game went from “maybe I’ll buy this because my wife and I could play it together” to “nope.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDean84 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Agree to disagree, I suppose. It makes sense for trying to have a specific vision. Not everything needs to be for everyone.

Nothing about allowing pro controllers to work takes away from the vision. And this game basucally markets itself as a game for everyone. That’s the whole point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not having the traditional board game available for online play is dumb too. Theres no reason 4 people online shouldnt be able to just play the traditional Mario Party game, and be limited to the Mini Game challenges or whatever.

Nokra Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 After watching the video I was very interested in buying this to play with my family over the Christmas break, but after reading your replies and realizing I would need to buy another $65 controller, I'm another person who will probably have to pass.

Bjomesphat Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Could the Switch Pro theoretically be able to play many of these mini games? It's not necessarily about the motion controls, but about how they want you to hold and move the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I recall seeing mention of only 4 "traditional boards.. in addition only one board looks current gen and the rest look washed out.. but most reviews agree its a "return" to form Come on Nintendo! Do DLC.. classic boards and mini-games ala carte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have more joycons than I need because I have a controller collection problem, but not allowing Pro controllers to be used is fucking dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Online is a complete joke Its mini games only, and theres only 10 mini games available at any given time. I'm not sure how often they'll rotate them, but if you wanna do an online mario party night, just be prepared to play the same rotation of 10 mini games over and over and over and over again. Nintendo is a joke, they just started charging for online and this is the first big first party release they put out with online play.... Could easily allow online for all modes, Co-op especially. If players drop out of the main mode before the games over just replace them with bots. I really hope they patch all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
