[Poll] Future of Mario Party

[Spongyoshi]

Since the Mario Party series now is so unpredictable, what would you like for the next Mario Party games and others to come?
And also, what would you THINK Nintendo will do? Personally, I think they'll keep making original formulas for each game.

 

[Mariokirby101]

OK, I would love for the Star system to come back but Nintendo likes disagreeing with fans, so...

 

[Spongyoshi]

Seeing the poll, I feel like I'm the only one liking the original formulas.
Because that would be hard to bring back an formula that was used in nine games and make something with it that wasn't done before.
But that's only my opinion, maybe they could do something unique?

I enjoy deviations every now and then, but the old star system is the best in my opinion. This isn't to say I can't find things to enjoy in the others, but I think we need to have the option to play the original or something close to it. I liked the way things worked in Mario Party 6 / 7 where you could still play maps that used the original system, but you also had other options. Of course all of the games before were perfectly fine as well, and I would not complain one bit to see another game completely running on the old system.

I am generally a traditionalist and like things to stay the way they have always been, but I also try to look at things positively seeing as I personally can't do anything to change them. Thus, I find ways to enjoy the newer additions as well.

 

[Spongyoshi]

Well, my point is just that. If they bring back the star system, how can they do to make it his own entry and not just be fan-service?
Every Mario Party game had his own changes compared to the older ones so the problem is here.
What would be the new mecanisms? What unique boards would you propose? Why should I buy this game and not just MPDS on the Wii U VC?
I think that's the real problem Nintendo is facing nowadays and that's why they keep innovating with new systems.
Personally, I'm fine with that, but I can see why you could not agree with me. However, how would you bring back the star system?

As Mario Party 11 is already in production, The Nintendo Switch will take on Mario Party and you can take 11 on the go the car will most likely not return in 11.

I really miss the old Mario Party games with the star system. I've always despised the car system!

I just want honeycomb havoc to come back. I've never lost at honeycomb havoc. Lol, my parents get so mad at me when we play too because I've developed an algorithm that prevents me from losing.

 

[Spongyoshi]

Well, I doubt we'd get it returning but the basic of the game back for a minigame would be great!

 

[NoMoreCars4MarioParty]

I really want the CLASSIC Mario Party Gameplay that's gone MIA since Mario Party 9!! I Don't care HOW unlikely it is, NOR If ND Cube doesn't want to do it; Either the Car Mode becomes a Completely Seperate Mode or gets removed entirely, OR ELSE I'm not supporting the Mario Party Sub-franchise!!

I think they need to make it Hudson style, but with more creative and innovative boards and more minigames than ever before! Wouldn't it be awesome if they included boards and minigames from fan-favorite past titles?

I Whole-heartedly Agree!!

I'd Love to see Reverse Minigames, as well as Windmillville, Neon Heights, E. Gadd's Garage, Future Dream, Western Land, Goomba's Booty Boardwalk, etc, and also Bowser Communism(What the TRG, aka The Runaway Guys call Bowser Revolution), and If They REALLY N-E-E-D to bring back the Car Party, PLEASE P-L-E-A-S-E PLEASE keep it in a Completely Seperate Mode from the Classic Mario Party!!

Yep, I think pretty much the whole Mario Party fanbase would agree, although it's much smaller than it used to be, presumably because their old fanbase either got older and stopped playing or simply lost interest due to strange and subpar design decisions, and then they couldn't draw in enough new players because the games aren't what they used to be in terms of quality.

To be honest, I couldn't agree more.

I don't really get it why people just want a compilation of old boards and minigames... I mean, that's not even an new direction for the series and there wouldn't be anything new to the table for that game... I never really liked that idea and still can't say I'd like it honestly...

I think that old boards and minigames are fine as long as they are some new ones as well... and I REALLY want the old system back, even if it means reusing some things.

Well, at least for me, I don't mean that it would be JUST that, it would just be Hudson-style with returning boards and minigames like returning stages in smash. Ideally, they would include new modes along with the classic mode.

 

[Spongyoshi]

Okay, like this, it could be a great idea! That would also double the number of boards and minigames in each game ideally! 
But I think the biggest hurdle ND Cube would be facing is finding new ideas for the boards and Party Mode in general while keeping the traditional Party Mode.
If they could find great ideas, I'd love to get a Mario Party like this!!
And also I agree there should be other modes as well, like a rich Minigame Mode or totally brand new main modes like in Mario Party Star Rush!  And online of course!!

 

[NoMoreCars4MarioParty]

I really miss the old Mario Party games with the star system. I've always despised the car system!

Me, too!! For me, That's When Mario Party officially Jumped the Shark for me; was once they Took out the Completely Fun & Cathartic Gameplay consistent from Mario Party 1-8 in place of a STUPID CAR MECHANIC THAT SUCKS ALL THE FUN MARIO PARTY ORIGINALLY HAD, INTO SOMETHING THAT FEELS SOULLESS AND TEDIOUS; SERIOUSLY, NINTENDO, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!!

 

[Spongyoshi]

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!!!

If you cannot find anything new for the next installment, then a formula is broken, and it's pretty much what happened with Mario Party!
And honestly, I'm just glad Mario Party was back. I hated the car at first but now I like it and MP9 is one of my favorite Mario Parties, honest!
What a shame MP10 didn't really tried to upgrade the experience. 
Also, at least the latest entries have a side-mode being similar to the traditional gameplay! Even if it's totally not as good as the originals... but that's something!
