Not a lot of specific information was given, in fact none was when the first Mario Party 9 trailer and screenshots were released back in E3 2011. Fans had had a lot of questions as to what was presented then, and now we have a better grasp as to what new gameplay features players will encounter.
Aside from the mini-games looking a tad more challenging, there needed to be a lot more innovation for the Mario Party series for it to not get stale. Now players will encounter bosses, ride in vehicles together around the game board, be a captain of a team, and will experience 80 new mini-games and more!
Here is a list of just some of the new features that players will be getting in Mario Party 9, as listed on the Best Buy product page:
Feel your adrenaline surge after a lucky roll, high-five your teammates for toppling a boss or double-cross others at the last second to win extra Mini Stars for yourself. Get ready for Boss Battles and tons of new features that mix cooperative and competitive action. Work together with other players toward a common goal while proving that you’re the best and leading your team to victory along the way, Hit the road and travel with your party across stages together for the first time, and take turns as Captain of exciting vehicles like a convertible, flying carpet, submarine and more. Make sure no one is left behind as you play nice or scheme against each other – just be careful because you’re all riding together. 80 new mini games, adventure-filled stages and exciting new game modes. Shape the game with unique Captain Events in each stage, and tap into extra games like Goomba Bowling and Shell Soccer. Use your motion-sensing Wii Remote to pilot Bullet Bills through a race course, bowl with a Koopa shell, rotate the dial on treasure chests to unlock diamonds and toss pepperonis onto a spinning pizza. Earn Party Points to unlock sweet bonus content.
Ranters, do any of these new features appeal to your senses or has this party run its course?
Mario Party 9 will be in stores March 11 for the Wii of course.
