Mario Party: Star Rush(3DS)

[Klinsy]

Are you ready to party ... again ... again ... again ... *One long string of agains* with Mario and friends?

Announced in Nintendo's PR, this game, as described:

a new Mario Party game for Nintendo 3DS that includes additions and changes to make it much more fast-paced and portable-friendly – players no longer have to wait for their turn, as everyone moves at once. Mario Party Star Rush launches Nov. 4.

So, If I'm going to guess, it's going to add the car system from the last two console games, could be fun if they improved on it, game is due to be shown off tomorrow live at the Treehouse.

You can also thank the game for these beauties.

I'll be honest and say that the game doesn't interest me at all but Boo, Waluigi and Diddy Kong amiibo do interest me.

Especially Diddy, he is so expressive in his along with sitting on a barrel.

[Failinhearts]

I'm not sure about the game... I'll wait for the gameplay.

But the amiibo! GIMMIE.

[Tailikku]

Quick!  Get those Rosie Amiibos before mariotehplumber crawls out of that hellhole to buy them all up

[Toby]

I only saw the word 'Rush' and got excited because I thought we were getting a new Sonic Rush title. Then I realized what subforum I was in.

 

I'm disappointed.

Players can't all move at once if they're still stuck in a car, mang. No dice on that guess.

Still basically the same as the last few. Call me when they go back to the traditional MP.

Nope. I'll just keep with DS then,

Here's the Boxart 

 

[Your Vest Friend]

That is so goddamn lazy.

[Klinsy]

So, from what I seen, this game will have a boss rush mode where you have to play as ... Toad, hooray.

But it does let you play as the other characters as allies and it's bringing back 2D Mario artwork and no car, so it could be cool.

[Salamander]

Speaking as somebody who's never played a Mario Party game and probably never will, this looks refreshing and intriguing - though I understand the series oscillates wildly between stagnancy and change for change's sake, so I'm sure there are mixed feelings.

[Tara]

That Diddy Kong amiibo is adorable!  As for the game itself, I don't think the car system completely kills my interest, but I would prefer a more traditional Mario Party as well.

[sonicgirl313]

Actually there's no car at all apparently, it's actually more like how you play a Fire Emblem game.

 

[StaticMania]

That's slightly closer to traditional...so peoples still wouldn't be happy. Though they only showed the mode where you all start out as Toads and recruit.

 

Also Bowser should have more mecha, who couldn't use more mecha? That one looks real nice.

[Dejimon11]

Wanna know how lazy the box art is?

 

[Agie]

Keep in mind the boxart may just be a placeholder while They're still working on the real one.

[Salamander]

It wouldn't be the first boxart I've seen this E3 which looked distinctly placeholderish; the supposed Breath Of The Wild boxart doesn't give the impression of finality either.

The RTS elements of the game do look interesting from a technical standpoint, but as someone who isn't really into that style of game, I can't say it's really any better than the car for me, personally.  Especially if you're only recruiting characters and not actually playing as them.

But you are playing as them, the trailer showed recruited characters taking place of the Toad on their profile icons. Unless...you meant something else.

But I mean, it's not as simple as just selecting the character from the start, and I don't know if you even get to use the recruited characters for the entirety of the game.

According to the Treehouse event, you do get to use the recruited characters the entirety of the board map...you only lose a recruited character if somebody steals them in a battle.

 

And all the Mario characters have special dice block association, they do something special.

Okay that still sounds more complicated than it ought to be when we could, instead, just have it where we choose the character(s) we want from the start and play as them all the way through.

EDIT- UGH WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH IPB4'S QUOTING SYSTEM JESUS CHRIST

[jords]

This sounds exactly like smash tour omg. Nooooooo 

[Agie]

And I hated Smash Tour...
