Mario Party 3's 10th Anniversary

[SpiderStaryu]

In the USA anyway. On May 7th, 2001; Mario Party 3 got released in the USA, it was released in Europe on November 16th of 2001. I just thought it was interesting that it's been 10 years since Mario Party 3 was released, I feel like it was just yesterday that I would be playing this all day with my friends... Oh, time flies... So, yeah, are you amazed it's been 10 years since Mario Party 3's been released, and do you think we could expect Mario Party 3 coming on the Virtual Console? Discuss.

I don't care... 10 years, 12 years whatever. It just should be on VC and that's it.

I remember the day I got this good. It was my birthday party I got it for my 7th birthday. I opened that thing up and started playing it with my cousins and they had to get me off to do the cake stuff.

I can believe its 10 years though, that thing is old.

I wish they'd release it on VC. This one was my favorite MP. I played it with my stepsister all the time.

16 days late.

But yeah, like some others have been saying, it should be on the VC now that we have gone through 10 years and we already have Mario Party 3. This and Mario Party are needed for you to be able to play any Mario Party on the Wii.

But still, even if this is out, and I still have a working Mario Party 3 on the Nintendo 64, there isn't any need for me to purchase. Heck, we may be doing another giveaway if Mario Party 3 is coming to the VC.

Put it on the Virtual Console and I'll celebrate!

Gah! Been that long already? Hoo boy.

Yes. It would be nice to have it on Virtual Console. After all, they did put Mario Party 2 on Virtual Console.

Oh my gosh! I really can't believe it's been 10 years. That's amazing. I can still remember being 11 years old and enjoying this game to the fullest. My love for the game hasn't died at all really. The N64 and controllers in my house (which is actually my 16 year old brother's) still work and they're over 10 years old! I really want to play it again, but lately I've been a little scared to go down in my basement and make it work again since there have been a bunch of bugs and creepy animals that I felt were lurking around. I'm gonna get someone to go down with me and possibly find another tv in the house to hook it up on and play it again.

I think that the first one won't be coming to the VC as Nintendo didn't want to worry about getting sued for blisters from the control spinning mini-games.

I think that the first one won't be coming to the VC as Nintendo didn't want to worry about getting sued for blisters from the control spinning mini-games.

That's precisely the reason, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue with the new control stick, that is, the one on GCN Controller and the Classic Controller, and the Nunchuk. I mean, rotating those on the palm of your hand doesn't seem more dangerous than it was on the N64. But still, even so, Nintendo probably don't want to risk getting sued, though.

It's likely the Mario Party 3 will come to the VC, as this year is the 10th anniversary in the US, it's possible that they'll release this at the end of 2011 or along with Mario Party 9.
