Who will you play as in MP9?

[Lakilester]

My favourites are Toad, Koopa (my most favourite), Daisy and Shy Guy.

 

[Crackin355]

Mario and Shy Guy, hypothetically. Otherwise, this game isn't for me.

BLOF said that you said that Shy Guy should not be playable.

Why do you two care so much about character rosters, why would you just not get a game because of it's roster.

Well, I've only seen BLOF not want to buy a game because of its roster myself (downloading MP9 instead of buying).

Mario and Luigi are my mains, but I also use Peach and Yoshi ^_^.

Because a new game offering less content than a previous entry SHOULDN´T BE.

A smaller roster might be excusable if the game doesn´t also excise game modes, customisable options, gameplay variety and many other factors that might round a game depending on it´s genre.

Now, it´s true we don´t need to be so strict or else we would not enjoy any games if we focus on pointing flaws, but, speaking for myself, you gotta understand that any fan who has grown with the series (I´m 24) can get tired of the constant "we´ll get rid of actual characters and place in generics more recognizable to the general public" even though business wise it might be more or less justified.

Now, rotating the roster and have some characters switch roles from time to time (like Bowser Jr being playable or a boss depending on the game) while adding a few one timers helps keeping things fresh. But then again, some characters have been out for quite a few games. Granted, speaking about Mario, "quite a few games" means just one or two years due to Nintendo spamming Mario games like mad.

But can't you just play the game for what it is? You're bound to like at least one of these characters. Shy Guy and Kamek were put in so that they'd be Bowsers minions in story mode, so that clears up that.

And they might 'spam' Mario games like mad, which I haven't really noticed at all, but money is money, that's what a business wants and these games do a good job of getting it.

 

[Zae]

Probably Luigi, Daisy, and Kamek.

Waluigi assuming he's in.

Also yeah I can't really understand the whole GAME HAS NO SUITABLE ROSTER? I QUIT

I mean if it was like, massive differences for each character, I could understand, but not for a game series like mario party.

Unless they actually started changing the game since 7(in terms of characters).

Well you gotta admit there are a lot of mario games, especially in the spinoff section.

But the whole idea is spamming is fans wanting more games that revolve around the platforming idea of Mario, rather than just party games.

The roster is a BIG part of the game. If there was only four characters playable, then most people would complain and it would be a very boring game. I like Shy Guy, but he's not the best addition and there are better candidates.

Besides, I'm not getting Mario Party 9 for a combination of reasons. No 2 vs 2, luck-based crap on boards, no duel, bad item system, no co-op mode, stupid car, watered-down battle wages, Kamek, etc.

But they still buy those spin off games even though they want platformers. I kind of prefer spin offs sometimes over platformers. Don't know why. Maybe it's because I grew up with spin offs like Mario Tennis and Mario Party 3.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I think spinoffs last much longer than platformers. But that's saying from a girl with an identical twin.

Firstly, Mario Party 9 is not more luck based than other Mario Party Games, I am a bit disappointed in the lack 2 VS 2 but I don't mind it that much. The Car mode actually is quite interesting and fun.
